Episode 127 - The Fan w/ Regular M1ke

Join us on the latest episode of the Blast Zone Podcast as we welcome back the legendary Regular M1ke (@RegularM1ke) to discuss one of the forgotten 90s sports thrillers, THE FAN. Directed by Tony Scott and featuring an all-star cast including Wesley Snipes, Robert DeNiro, John Leguizamo, Ellen Barkin, and Benicio Del Toro, this 1996 film had a budget of $55 million but unfortunately only grossed $42 million, resulting in an estimated loss of $35 million. In this episode, we break down what went wrong and why this movie remains a cult classic for some. Don't miss our in-depth analysis starting at 8:01, along with a fun "Show & Tell" segment at 3:20.
