About this listen

What Went Wrong covers Hollywood’s most notoriously disastrous movie productions, digging into the behind-the-scenes insanity of everything from massive flops to record-breaking blockbusters. In each episode, hosts Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer dive into a new film to explore the mind-blowing (and sometimes numbing) reasons why making a movie is nearly impossible (especially a good one). Produced by David Boman.

    28 Days Later
    Jun 23 2025

    How did a scrappy production out of the UK with little more than a dozen DV camcorders revive a decidedly dead genre and spark a renaissance with the recently departed? Join Chris and Lizzie as they explore Danny Boyle's lo-fi technically-not-a-zombie-movie-zombie-movie and learn why 100 buckets is never enough, the terror of Kiwi test screenings and why Danny Boyle couldn't wait to get Cillian Murphy shirtless.

    *CORRECTIONS: The most violent news footage shown in the film's opening (executions, violence, etc.) was staged by Boyle and co., however, some early news footage of civil unrest is archival.

    Naomie Harris was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Supporting Actress) for for her performance in "Moonlight", but she did not win.

    The pilot at the end of the film is speaking Finnish, not American, and (faintly) says "Lähetätkö helikopterin?" which translates to "Will you send a helicopter?".

    Jun 20 2025

    Join Chris as he explores the evolution of zombies, from their birth in the Caribbean amidst the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade to their high-speed, globalized, modern incarnations. Endlessly adaptable and mutable to represent our evolving societal fears, zombies continue to be the monster that never dies.

This podcast was an accidental discovery. What a wonderful accident it's proven to be. Lizzie and Chris are knowledgeable, passionate, and bring both whimsy and humanity to stories one would never think could be so engrossing. Many episodes on the... less enjoyable films are almost miraculously made interesting. That's a testament to the hosts' abilities. This one is already great and with such fertile ground in subject matter, the quality is evergreen.

Thoroughly Researched and Pleasantly Presented
