Award-winning illustrator-cartoonist Drew Friedman, actor-filmmaker Owen Kline and voice actor (and this week's co-host) Barrett Leddy join Frank for a fascinating look at six-plus decades of doomed dramas, canceled comedies and unrealized epics, including "Jaws 3, People 0," "Superman Lives," the Marx Brothers' "A Day at the United Nations" and Jerry Lewis' "The Day the Clown Cried." Also in this episode, Ridley Scott teams with the Bee Gees, Steven Soderbergh retools Charlie Chan, Barrett breaks down the Beatles' "Lord of the Rings" project and Drew explains the "curse" of "A Confederacy of Dunces." PLUS: The cinema of Sammy Petrillo! "The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes"! "Rocky" meets "The Raven"! Harry Shearer parties with Casey Kasem! Stan Lee hangs with Fellini! And Owen's grandpa introduces Ralph Kramden to Ed Norton!
