One from the Heart
Heading into the 1980’s Francis Ford Coppola was at the top of his game with massive critical and commercial successes in films such as The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. He decided to open his own studio and change the way films would be made. He poured his heart, soul, and money into it. The film he created was a visual feast and a stunning creation. It was also a massive failure that bankrupted his studio and sent him into a creative slump. He became a director for hire working on any project that came his way in order to pay off his debts.
As we continue to look at movies that were massive failures, we check out this one that was not only a box office bomb, it broke one of the best filmmakers of all time.
Waterworld

Mortal Engines
Dazzling CGI can’t cover for a weak plot that hits all the pitfalls that lurk for book adaptations. With a large budget and one of the worst rates-of-return in recent movie memory, this week our hosts dive into what exactly went wrong with Mortal Engines.

Street Fighter
An aversion to action, a slow pace, and one of the best villain performances ever almost make this one worth watching, but it doesn’t quite cut it for us. Listen to our three minute review below.
Idle Hands
This week we took a look at a 1999 stoner horror comedy that neither of us had high hopes for (no pun intended). Surprisingly both Michael and I quite enjoyed it. Check out our three minute review below.
