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. 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.

Below The Line - Armorer (Django Unchained)
Armorer Larry Zanoff (Django Unchained, Captain America: Winter Soldier, The Matrix Resurrections) is a combat veteran, a bonafide gunsmith, and a weapons trainer for actors and law enforcmenet officers alike. He is also a great storyteller and educator, which makes him uniquely capable of explaining the critically important, yet often overlooked role of an armorer. Join us for a discussion on the responsibilities of an on-set armorer, cross-collaboration with departments you wouldn't expect, and what we need to learn from the rare but devastating on-set firearm tragedies that have captured headlines for decades.

The Crow
‘The Crow’ set the mold for R-rated comic book adaptations, but it’s perhaps most famous for putting its enigmatic star Brandon Lee on the map… and taking him off it forever. Find out how the 1994 film was riddled with problems long before Lee’s untimely death, who else almost played Eric Draven, and the film’s surprising connection to ‘John Wick’. We’re also joined by an expert, armorer Larry Zanoff, to break down the shooting itself.

Customer Reviews
Really Enjoyable
Great chemistry and great content. I have been working backwards so as not miss anything!
Informative and fun!
I have come across this podcast a month or two ago, and I have been tearing through their past episodes, and I am always happy to see a new one drop!
Thank you for the time you spend researching everything and sharing it with us in a fun way!
Better than unspooled even !
OK, Lizzie and Chris, writing a review for you! I like this podcast a lot, the hosts are pleasant to listen to, and seem well informed. They bring a little bit of humor to it, but it still feels mostly focused on the facts. I also like that they don’t take too much time just talking about their personal lives, etc. which isn’t necessarily that interesting in a podcast in my opinion. my only complaint Is that Lizzie says she doesn’t like birds, which was discussed in the birds movie episode. As an avid birder I am deeply offended (jk). I actually like this podcast more than Unspooled and I only mention that because they said that unspooled is number one and they are number two in film history podcasts. :) I like this podcast a bit better than Unspooled because it has less personal life banter, but to be fair I’ve only listened to three or four Unspooled episodes and I’ve listened to about 10 of these. I wish there was even more of these that I could listen to. I’m kind of blowing through them pretty quickly. one request - more horror movies please!
