I'll never let go, Jack... unless I really, really have to pee. This week, Chris & Lizzie sink into a production laced with PCP, James Cameron's addiction nearly drowning, and why Leo nearly forked himself on set.

Titanic

What Went Wrong covers Hollywood’s most notoriously disastrous movie productions, digging into the behind the scenes insanity of everything from massive flops to record breaking blockbusters. Each episode, hosts Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer dive into a new film to explore the mind blowing (and sometimes numbing) reasons why making a movie is nearly impossible (especially a good one). Produced by David Boman. JOIN OUR PATREON FOR 'WWW' BONUS CONTENT!

TV & Film

A specter of a script! A lead prone to ghosting! A soul-wrenching schedule! This week, Chris & Lizzie cross the streams with 1984’s supernatural success story, Ghostbusters. Learn how a cabal of Canadian comedians created an American classic and how John Belushi haunted the film more literally than you may know.

*CORRECTIONS:

*Lyndsey Buckingham caught some undeserved strays in this episode - he'd actually recently written Holiday Road for National Lampoon's Vacation.

Ghostbusters

This week, Faye Dunaway and Roman Polanski square off in one of the messiest on-set feuds of all time. Chinatown may be one of the greatest movies ever made, but between hair plucking, tv throwing, and alleged urine tossing, the production was an absolute disaster. Special guest Paul Scheer (Unspooled, How Did This Get Made) joins Lizzie & Chris to discuss the insane making of the 1974 Jack Nicholson classic, and the complicated legacy it leaves behind.

Check out Paul's memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

Chinatown (with Paul Scheer)

How did a director trapped in Harvey Weinstein’s movie jail, an action star who nuked his most recent film, and a children’s studio in crisis make one of the most influential horror films of all time? Join Chris & Lizzie as they find out why Toni Collette was less than thrilled to land her part, why Michael Cera didn’t score the lead role and how M. Night Shyamalan came to embrace the unexpected power of a PG-13 rating.

Below The Line - Armorer (Django Unchained)

A film that set the mold for R-rated comic book adaptations, but is perhaps most famous for putting its enigmatic star Brandon Lee on the map… and taking him off it forever. Lizzie walks Chris through a production riddled with problems long before Lee’s untimely death, who else almost played Eric Draven and the film’s surprising connection to John Wick. They're also joined by an expert, armorer Larry Zanoff, to break down the on-set shooting of Brandon Lee.
