DeRazzled - Mommie Dearest - Your Dad WASN'T The Quintessential Flapper?

DeRazzled

08/02/22 • 141 min

Jack and Joe are joined by Dr. Becca Hayes (scientist, Pittsburgh improv comedian, and Joe's partner) to talk about the wildly troubling, weirdly campy, and terrifyingly not-supposed-to-be-funny Mommie Dearest (1981), winner of the second-ever Razzie Award for Worst Picture. But we don't just tackle the film -- Jack directly compares it to the memoir it's based on to highlight the differences between these accounts of Joan Crawford's problematic parenting. We dig into the life-threateningly glaring omissions, reminisce on Cabbage Patch dolls and other childhood toys, somehow manage to reference the Simpsons and F. Scott Fitzgerald multiple times, and accidentally provide Jack with a therapy session regarding narcissism and parenting through a conversation on the Internet with ACTUAL NUANCE! Also, in a DeRazzled first, we get an alternative fix for this movie from our guest! Pour yourself a Pepsi, throw out your wire hangers, and awkwardly strap yourself into bed as you enjoy this one.

DeRazzled 2nd Unit - Superman Lives, Part 2 - Shaloubin' Around

DeRazzled

09/20/22 • 101 min

We continue our odyssey into Development Hell to wrap up our dissection of Tim Burton's unmade Superman Lives! Having covered the origins of Jon Peters and the beginnings of this project through Kevin Smith's role in this story, we now focus in on Burton's vision for Nick Cage as the Man of Steel in a story of the ultimate outsider. We cover the cavalcade of wildly talented artists involved, the utter pain in the ass that Jon Peters was for basically everyone involved, the panic spiral Warner Bros found themselves in, and just how the death of Superman Lives led to Superman Returns -- including as much as we could stomach of the absolutely buckwild idea J. J. Abrams had that cost us a Batman vs. Superman film written by the guy who wrote Se7en. We also touch on Warner Bros current woes following their merger with Discovery, as it seems like they've learned nothing from their mistakes. We hope that you enjoy the conclusion to this absurd story in which people are wildly in-character throughout, because sadly no one paid us $85 million not to do it. Settle in and wonder for yourselves whether Saved By The Bell's Zack Morris or Tony Shaloub would be your dream Superman.

CW: Racism relating to Tim Burton, more Jon Peters, mention of Bryan Singer and Kevin Spacey, mention of Brett Ratner and X-Men: The Last Stand

DeRazzled - The Room - BIG HOLLYWOOD MOVIE!

DeRazzled

08/30/22 • 95 min

Welp, we finally did it. We broke Jack. Special guests/hosts Vince DeStefano and Emily Manno join us to help Jack claw his way back to some semblance to sanity and to (maybe) understand: what is The Room and who exactly is Tommy Wiseau? Armed with tons of great information from Greg Sestero & Tom Bissel's book The Disaster Artist, we do our best to answer Jack's questions. Emily shares what it's like to go to a midnight showing and actually meet Tommy Wiseau. Vince theorizes what's really going on with Tommy's history. And Joe tries to hold it all together, but hey, he's just the sound guy.

CW: misogyny, abusive work environments, Tommy Wiseau impressions

DeRazzled 2nd Unit - Six Million Dollar Man - Wario's Family Pasta Trough

DeRazzled

08/16/22 • 79 min

We continue our exploration of films stuck in Development Hell with the many attempts to adapt The Six Million Dollar Man to the silver screen. After a successful television run, 3 made-for-TV movies as recently as 1994, and influence that can be felt all throughout US pop culture, shouldn't a big screen version have worked? Join us for a tale of writer's block, unexpected contributors, executive musical chairs, a Weinstein, and another appearance in this series for Mark Wahlberg. Actually, that begs the question: what's going on with Mark Wahlberg's career? Listen with your bionic ears to get the whole story! CW: mention of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault charges; mention of Mark Wahlberg's racist attack on an Asian man; mention of Mel Gibson's racism and antisemitism.

DeRazzled 2nd Unit - The Amory Wars - Which Album Are We On?

DeRazzled

07/19/22 • 82 min

To kick off our brand new 2nd Unit series exploring films and properties lost in Development Hell, Joe uses the release of Coheed & Cambria's latest album as an excuse to talk about the lost film adaptation of their long-running sci-fi epic, The Amory Wars. What was supposed to be a major feature produced by Mark Wahlberg turned into a lot of nothing despite a built-in audience. We try to get a grasp on why this project didn't come to fruition by delving into the finer details of the world built by Claudio Sanchez through songs and comics. Joe builds on material from the albums and graphic novels, as well as interviews with Claudio and narrative breakdowns from the sadly-defunct Cobalt & Calcium fan community, while Jack tries his best to follow along and make Star Trek and Grant Morrison jokes to cling to his sanity. Which is impressive, considering he's a time traveler from 1967 whose only musical touchstones are apparently Led Zeppelin and Herb Albert & The Tijuana Brass. Pull up your Ten Speed and man your own jackhammer as we dive head-first into the well and unknowing, and Joe chuckles to himself as Jack tries to figure out what any of that means.

DeRazzled - Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas - Part 1: Fine Linens & ELF WORSHIP?!

DeRazzled

12/28/21 • 119 min

Jack and Joe bring on their friend and Ramming Speed Pictures Director of Photography Scott McGrath and ruin a perfectly good reunion with what has to be the worst "movie" we've ever seen. Join us as Jack narrowly avoids speaking in tongues, Joe outs himself as a scene kid, and the course of the show changes as we all grapple with some harrowing topics that have no business being included in a Christmas movie. CW: Religious trauma, gaslighting, racism and use of terms involved in discourse on racism in film, ableism In all seriousness, if you're dealing with religious trauma and don't think you can handle this one, we totally understand and want you to take care of yourself. Part 2 won't have all that baggage associated with it, so check back next week for that!

DeRazzled - Xanadu, Part 1 - Electric Zeus and Bluthland

DeRazzled

09/27/22 • 59 min

We were gonna cover this one later this season, but with Olivia Newton John's recent passing (R.I.P.) we decided to tackle this OG Razzie Worst Picture nominee much sooner than expected. And y'know what, we're glad we did, because Jack actually really liked this one to the surprise of Joe and special guest Caleb Feigles of Making a Martini. We roll out our new format by giving a rapid-fire synopsis of the film (lest Jack be punished with horse noises) and covering what worked and didn't work with this 1980 day-glo laser roller disco fever dream. We lament the camera work and fashion choices made for Gene Kelly's last feature film role, declare our love for the work of Don Bluth, and wonder at what happens when you get a bunch of Tron in your Greek mythology. Kick back and relax after a long day of roller skating to Electric Light Orchestra and enjoy part 1 of our journey into Xanadu!

Check back next week for part 2, in which we take a closer look behind the scenes of this film and attempt to fix it.

CW: alcohol, discussion of drug use, discussion of sex clubs and bathhouses, mention of All Dogs Go To Heaven

DeRazzled 2nd Unit - Superman Lives, Part 1 - The Trump of Hollywood

DeRazzled

09/13/22 • 96 min

For our latest venture into Development Hell, we take on one of the biggest, most infamous examples of a film that never came to be: Tim Burton's Superman Lives. In the first part of our deepest dive yet, we start most people's first exposure to the story, Kevin Smith's story of getting hired to write the script. We examine Smith's story and dissect his script, but to really lay the groundwork for this tale we need to get to know the producer who hired Smith to begin with, Jon Peters. We relive the most intense and absurd of their filming experiences, revel in the early years of the View Askewniverse, ponder whether Jon Peters thinks Barbara Streisand can read, learn something new about sex worker hair trends of the 70s, and so, so much more. Listen as we rifle through the vast and numerous filing cabinets that hold this story, as we wish Warner Bros had done before Peters could get his hands on Supes' rights from the Salkinds.

CW: Sexism, homophobia, violent behavior, comparisons to Donald Trump, mention of the Heidi Fleiss Hollywood Madame case -- and that's all just Jon Peters!

Fun concept. Jack and Joe take a variety of bad movies…or movies that never happened, take them apart and then rebuild it from scratch to a much better movie. Give them a listen.
