Freak accidents happen, sure, and sometimes you take every precaution and tragedies still unfold… but that’s not what happened in the stories we’re telling today. This week we discuss deaths on movie sets and the hubris of the filmmakers who caused them.
Highlights:
[0:00] Marks talks about the time he was an extra in an unreleased movie filmed in a sex dungeon
[8:36] We talk about the lively facebook discussion that ensued from last week’s episode and announce our next watch-along genre: BOATCORE!
[19:30] We talk about what we’ve been watching lately, which leads to a discussion of our love for theatergoing, a rant about people lying about a movie to get you to watch it, and a lot of other tangents.
[49:30] Our main topic: Tragedies on film sets.
