In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two hit comedies made at different ends of the 1990s.

Death Becomes Her was expensive, technically demanding and ultimately visually groundbreaking - and it'd be the film that brought Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn together, after they passed on Thelma & Louise.

The Wedding Singer, meanwhile, would alter notably because of two women: Drew Barrymore, and the late, great Carrie Fisher.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
