Going Rogue
Hosted by Tansy Gardam · EN
A podcast about the film industry that looks at both the films, and the industry. The show covers the writing, shooting, editing and reshooting of troubled films and tries to not only find out what happened, but why, sometimes in a single episode, sometimes over an entire season. Hosted by film writer Tansy Gardam, Going Rogue is all about the context and complications of making movies, and the often wild reasons that films are... like that.

The Fall of Skywalker III: TrIXie

The Fall of Skywalker II: The Mystery Box

Artemis Fowl
Oct 601:14:14Tap to summarizeArtemis Fowl is many things: a character, a book, a best-selling children's series, a long resident of development hell and a massive investment in a potential franchise.

Dredd
Jun 2901:13:43Tap to summarize2012’s Dredd is a nexus of pop culture rumours, mysteries and intrigue: but are we asking the right question when we ask who actually directed it?If you wish this episode had been about the 1995 film, it wasn't because Jason Jenkins already wrote a much better breakdown of that breakdown than I ever could.
