Bohemian Rhapsody

SAD BOOM MEDIA
About this episode
Between overly involved band members, a completely absent director, and a huge legacy for lead actor Rami Malek to live up to, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ had more than its fair share of problems. This week Lizzie and Chris dive into one of the messiest biopic productions in movie history and discover why it took so long to FINALLY fire director Bryan Singer.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
