About this episode

Matt and Aaron discuss the failures of the 1996 thriller The Fan and its place among the decade's disappointments.

Despite having all the ingredients for a slick '90s thriller, a legendary director, a stacked cast, and a premise that should have been a home run 1996's The Fan somehow strikes out. Join Matt and Aaron as they break down what went wrong, why this would-be thriller falls flat, and how it earned its place among the decade's biggest disappointments. Hosted on Acast.
