11 Major Recent Movies (With Secretly Bizarre Productions)

Filmmaking is complicated. There are a thousand steps between "I have an idea" and "I have a completed film for your theater to screen." And sure, most people know all that. But here's one way being alive is more interesting than people think it is: every one of those moviemaking steps can get extremely weird, without the audience having any idea...unless they listen to podcasts like ours.

On this episode of The Cracked Podcast, Alex Schmidt is joined by comedy writers Gonzalo Cordova and Alan Denton. They'll explore the biggest recent movies, and the extraordinarily strange work that went into making them. Find out which Oscar movie got patched like a video game, several days after it was in theaters. Discover which animal overran the set of your favorite action movie franchise. And keep listening for the set of international financial crimes that built Hollywood's hottest production company.
