It Was A Sh*t Show
Why did it take so long to make a Simpsons movie? Did Ed Harris really almost drown on The Abyss? How many times have they attempted to reboot Batman? And who thought Ugly Sonic was a good idea? Well, making stuff is hard. Especially in the entertainment world where big egos, bigger budgets, and just plain bad luck can make things go horribly wrong. In each episode of It Was a Sh*t Show, hosts Ian, Rae, and Clint dive into the unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories of disastrous, never-ending, and often dangerous productions. New episodes on Wednesdays. Full video versions of Deep Dives can be seen on YouTube. Follow us on on social media @ItWasAShtShow. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
