Sh*t Show Podcast: Theodore Rex (1995)

Published 2024-05-07
Making a star act with a T-Rex is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make Theodore Rex, from the court case that forced Whoopi Goldberg to be in it, to a writer/director ill-equipped to handle the situation.

    Note to self... don't drive while listening to It was a Sh*t Show. I was laughing so hard I couldn't see. I made it to work without crashing, thank goodness. This show is the best!!
  • @bensneb360
    It’s like somebody saw the hallucination scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and thought… You know what this needs, more Whoopi Goldberg lol
  • @lolhs96
    I found out about sh*t show and listened a ton in the last week, so this feels like a divine gift
  • @JamesWjRose
    "Puppet spies that are actual puppets" oh F!, that's funny!

  • @TheeSM
    Me realizing the dinosaur is dressed like Shaft in a movie with Richard Roundtree in it is rocking my world twenty seconds into this episode.
  • @JamesASharp
    The movie that Whoopi Goldberg wished could be deleted forever. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @thedarkangel613
    I don't normally comment on youtube videos, but i have to say you guys are so entertaining, plus fueling my obsessions with Behind the scenes of productions, this is my new favoirte podcast. everytime you publish something this jumped the line in my queue very quickly

    49:51 Hearing you guys act out the deathbed request of Stefano Ferrari's father had me laughing so hard. Bravo on cracking open my cold, soulless being and filling it with your comedy improv about old Italian stereotypes begging their sons not to dedicate their shitty movies to their memory. I had no idea my sense of humour dial was calibrated to such a specific setting.
  • @daniellovett577
    I appreciated the added clips interspersed. Not sure how long those have been included because I've been enjoying it audio only lately, but the effort is noticed and acknowledged! Edited to add: If the "guy from the bag" is a Jim Henson spy, he's definitely Pepé the King Prawn. "I am the guy from the bag, okay" Edited again: Stefano Ferrari is following the arc of Cillian Murphy's character in Inception. He's breaking down his father's empire to create something of his own, except instead of a pinwheel, it's a dinosaur buddy cop movie.

    The whole father’s last words but had me laughing so hard I almost died. I couldn’t breathe I was just laughing so hard, tears rolling down my eyes and I love you guys for making me laugh so hard. I’m still smiling over it
  • I haven't stopped laughing for two days, I never thought saying Theodore with an Italian accent was what I needed
  • @jman1939
    Speaking of movies with puppets (or at least one character that was a puppet), I feel like there has to be a sh*t show somewhere in the 1986 remake of Little Shop of Horrors. Just the fact that they had to reshoot the entire ending is pretty crazy. Just an idea. Love the show. Keep up the great work.
  • You HAVE to do a Making of Nightmare on Elm Street. It quite literally was a shitshow. Pretty sure it reached a point where the cast and crew went without pay
  • @fangal12
    This was absolutely hilarious. Senior Ferrari's dying wish being "don't dedicate this POS movie to me" has me in stitches. I lost then gained more respect for Whoopi throughout this emotional rollercoaster. Great episode 😅
  • Why must you guys always upload when I'm about to go to sleep? Whelp, guess I'm staying up another hour...
  • George Newburn was also the voice of Superman in Justice League and Injustice.
