Have a listen as 'Movies In Trouble' sinks our fangs into the chaotic production of a crime thriller derailed by clashing egos, on-set brawls, and a revolving door of directors.

In our Season 2 premiere, we explore the behind-the-scenes power struggles, the reemergence of lost footage, and the lasting impact of a superhero sequel that nearly fell apart before it could soar.
