Development Hell episodes
- The Mummy & "The Dark Universe"
Today we break down Universal's failed attempt at "The Dark Universe" with the Tom Cruise lead The Mummy from 2017. Initially intended to kickstart Dark Universe, an attempt to create a modern cinematic universe based on the classic Universal Monsters film series, the film's poor box office performance led to the discontinuation and cancelation of the Dark Universe

2 hr 5 min - Jan De Bont's Godzilla
Today we cover the never-produced Tristar 1994 attempt at a Godzilla movie. While a much closer adaptation than what we eventually got with the Emmerich version, the film's production would be marred with massive technical hurdles and Son'y executives out to morph the project into something it was never meant to be.

2 hr 3 min - Foodfight!
Spike continues our monster themed month with this monstrous pile of shit, "Foodfight!"
With over 5 years in development hell, this is literally a movie created on the idea of using product placement as characters, Foodfight! sets the bar for horrible CGI garbage movie. Strap in, this one is fun.

1 hr 39 min - King Kong
Twas beauty, killed the beast. This week we talk Peter Jackson's King Kong, as he comes hot off the heels of making Lord of the Rings and gets his passion project, King Kong, greenlit. A rare case of almost a development heaven on this show. How lovely!

1 hr 38 min - LA Noire
Today we cover Rockstar's and Team Bondi's LA Noire, the 1940s detective cinematic game notorious for its facial capture tech and it's 7 year development cycle.
2 hr 25 min - Chinese Democracy
Today Spike brings Guns N' Roses' long awaited album Chinese Democracy to the development hell alter. We learn all about Axl, Slash and of course -- BucketHead's Chicken Coop.
2 hr 6 min - Popeye
Today Richard opens a can of spinach in the form of Robert Altman's 1980 Popeye live action musical. This film is a trippy fever dream, and works as an incredible adaptation of animation.
2 hr 5 min - Minecraft: The Movie
Today we have a SUPER fun episode where we cover the rise from Minecraft growing from a one man operation to one of the biggest games in the world. We then dive into the development hell around trying to finally get the Minecraft movie off the ground, and the various teams that have tried and failed.
2 hr 12 min - Blade Runner Pt. 2
(sorry about the couple audio glitches, a few minutes into the episode it sounds great! We promise!)
