Today we cover Rockstar's and Team Bondi's LA Noire, the 1940s detective cinematic game notorious for its facial capture tech and it's 7 year development cycle.

Today Spike brings Guns N' Roses' long awaited album Chinese Democracy to the development hell alter. We learn all about Axl, Slash and of course -- BucketHead's Chicken Coop.

Today Richard opens a can of spinach in the form of Robert Altman 's 1980 Popeye live action musical. This film is a trippy fever dream, and works as an incredible adaptation of animation.

Today we have a SUPER fun episode where we cover the rise from Minecraft growing from a one man operation to one of the biggest games in the world. We then dive into the development hell around trying to finally get the Minecraft movie off the ground, and the various teams that have tried and failed. 

(sorry about the couple audio glitches, a few minutes into the episode it sounds great! We promise!) Today the boys finish up the Bladerunner story, along with discussing the shark issue. 

Today we take on Blade Runner, a project with too much development hell to contain in a single podcast! Let's dive into Ridley Scott's cyberpunk epic and learn why god is a shark in a fish tank.

This week we dive into the nerdiest movie Directed by Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York -- and the development hell that comes along with Daniel Day-Lewis.  (this episode is super fun, but has some slight audio issues because of the website we use to record, we apologize and future episodes will be much more clear)

POP QUIZ HOT SHOT. Today those development boys tackle 2 movies (for the price of one!) as we don't let the audio-level drop below screamingly loud or the podcast explodes.  We cover the development hell that lead to Speed, one of the the most iconic action movies of all time, to get maybe the most forgettable sequel of all time. 

Hey brother -- this week the boys talks about The Boondock Saints and the descent into madness of Troy Duffy.

What an awful movie! Wow! Dungeons and Dragons from 2000 is a prime example of why high-fantasy was a genre plagued with development hell. 

The gang swings into Broadway for the first time to cover the biggest flop in musical history, Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark! We also touch on the never-produced James Cameron Spider-Man film, and have a ton of fun! 

The boys talk about maybe the most hellish and agonizing production of all time -- Apocalypse Now . Enjoy! 

We dive deep into the sever dream that was Battlefield Earth, John Travolta's passion project he made for L. Ron Hubbard.
