| 6/12/26 | Out of Frame: Scientology and Hollywood | In preparation for Monday's episode on War of the Worlds (2005) Chris and Lizzie explore the history of Scientology, the wave of religious movements in early 20th century Los Angeles, and set the table for Tom Cruise's disastrous publicity tour leading up to the release of the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | Giant (1956) | ‘Giant’ may be remembered as James Dean’s final film, but there is so much more to the story. Chris and Lizzie dive into the making of the classic 1956 film, why James Dean and Rock Hudson couldn’t stand each other, and how Elizabeth Taylor found herself caught between the two. Find out how homophobia tore Rock Hudson’s life apart, why director George Stevens constantly fought with James Dean, and how Dean’s untimely death prior to the end of production set the film on a totally different course. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | My Big Fat Greek Wedding | My Big Fat... Latina Wedding? This week, Chris & Lizzie dive into the magical, seemingly impossible indie-darling that could, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Learn how Nia Vardalos turned what Hollywood perceived to be her biggest liability (her Greek heritage) into a movie so specifically hilarious, it felt universal. This is the unlikely story of how a one-woman show (and a $500 ad in the LA Times) found Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks in its audience and birthed one of the most successful indie films in the history of Hollywood.

| 5/25/26 | Breakfast at Tiffany's | When Hollywood producers got their hands on Truman Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, they thought they’d found the perfect RomCom. There was just one problem: there was no rom in that com because the narrator was gay. In this episode, Chris and Lizzie break down the Audrey Hepburn classic and discover why she was reluctant to take the part, which actor caused the most trouble on set, and how the cinematographer got electrocuted… at Tiffany’s! Plus we discuss the lasting impact of Mickey Rooney’s troubled performance, and discover why Truman Capote himself wanted to spit on the director. Hosted on Acast.

| 5/22/26 | Out of Frame: In Cold Blood | Movie vs. Book | When the town of Holcomb, Kansas opened its doors to renowned author Truman Capote in 1959, they had no idea their story would change the way True Crime was written forever. Join Chris and Lizzie as they explore the real case behind the novel ‘In Cold Blood’ and its 1967 film adaptation, plus find out where Capote may have twisted the truth, and the shocking lengths film director Richard Brooks took to recreate the murders of the Clutter Family. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom | It's time for the feel bad sequel of 1984! Join Chris and Lizzie as they explore how bad breakups and broken backs contributed to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg being branded villains by People magazine. Plus, why Ke Huy Quan's "Short Round" is the real hero, Kate Capshaw paying a steep price for not reading the entire script, and why we still love Harrison Ford even though he stole Short Round's lines. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 5/11/26 | Cabaret | This week Bob Fosse is clawing his way out of director’s jail with one of the greatest movie musicals ever made: ‘Cabaret’. Join Chris and Lizzie as they discover how instrumental Liza Minelli was in creating Sally Bowles’ iconic look, why Joel Grey cried after he saw the first cut, and which role Bob Fosse might have wanted to take for himself… We also find out why Bob Fosse probably shouldn’t attempt any more backflips, and how a sordid affair in Berlin effectively ended his relationship with Gwen Verdon.

| 3/9/26 | Forrest Gump | ‘Forrest Gump’ became one of the biggest hits of the ’90s—but it was never a sure thing.

| 2/23/26 | The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen | 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' was supposed to launch a franchise... Instead, it was a production so toxic it ended a legendary career—and shoved one of the most influential comic writers of all time into a legal nightmare. This week, Chris and Lizzie break down how 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' collapsed under the weight of ego, chaos, and truly terrible luck. From devastating floods that destroyed entire sets to a power struggle between director Stephen Norrington and star Sean Connery that nearly turned physical, 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' was doomed from the start.

| 2/9/26 | The Cotton Club | 'The Cotton Club' was supposed to be Robert Evans’ big comeback... Instead, it became the movie that finally took him down - and nearly dragged Francis Ford Coppola with him. Chris and Lizzie break down how Evans' desperation to make the film led to shady financing, a baffling creative curveball from Richard Gere, and a production so chaotic that an actual mobster came on board as a line producer. Even though 'The Cotton Club' began as a story highlighting the racial inequalities of the actual nightclub, it became a film that marginalized its own black talent. Find out why it took Coppola 30 years to correct this mistake, finally allowing Gregory and Maurice Hines to steal the show. Make sure you listen to our Out of Frame episode on The Cotton Club Murder first as a primer for this episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||

In this episode of Out of Frame, Chris and Lizzie dig into the death of Roy Radin — a small-time producer whose obsession with breaking into Hollywood by financing ’The Cotton Club’ ended in murder. Find out how Radin got involved with Lanie Jacobs, a cocaine dealer with movie ambitions of her own, and why the entire case revolved around one of the most influential producers of all time: Robert Evans.Listen to this episode first as a primer, then come back Monday when we break down exactly what went wrong with ‘The Cotton Club’ in our full main-feed episode.
