About this episode

The episode explores the chaotic production and reception of Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis.

For our penultimate episode, we're diving into the pure insanity that can only be brought from the mind of the deeply unwell mind of Francis Ford Coppola. Today we're going to try to unpack the auteurist disaster that was funded by a Wine Empire. Is it good? Nope. Let's dive in.
