Warhead 007 - The James Bond Film That Never Was
One of the most fascinating chapters in the James Bond cinematic saga is the story of Warhead, a 007 film that almost was, then wasn't, then kinda was, then almost was again a couple times, then never was. Developed in the 1970s by Kevin McClory, Len Deighton, and the O.G. Bond Sean Connery, Warhead was meant to be a grittier take on the Bond franchise, with some truly crazy elements thrown in for good measure. It became a casualty of war between conflicting creative forces, leaving us to wonder what could have been and just how and why this movie went unmade. It eventually “kinda” got made as Never Say Never Again in 1983, but what was made was very different from what was intended: perhaps thankfully.

What Happened to EPIC MEAL TIME?
The YouTube channel Epic Meal Time was an unlikely viral phenomenon that took the internet by storm in the early 2010s. Its brilliant yet deceptively simple premise of creating outrageously unhealthy fast food concoctions resonated immensely with a certain subset of viewers. Episodes like the staggeringly caloric "Fast Food Lasagna" and "Turbacon Epic Thanksgiving" special would build anticipation by meticulously assembling and teasing the final caloric monstrosity, while also tapping into cultural trends of the time like the obsession with bacon and the exaggerated macho bro persona embodied by host Harley Morenstein.
This novel format combined shocking excess, culinary debauchery, frat boy humor, and a liberal dose of alcohol into a perfect storm of viral wildfire, generating massive word-of-mouth buzz that rapidly propelled Epic Meal Time from a low-budget cooking channel to one of the biggest presences on the entire YouTube platform within its first few years. At its peak, the show's audacious videos were practically unavoidable in the cultural conversation. So WTF Happened to Epic Meal Time?

Bad Boys Ride Or Die Movie Review
People may not realize it, but Bad Boys For Life remains the highest grossing domestic release of 2020. Sure, that pandemic thing might have helped matters, but it was a smash hit. So why is this sequel, Bad Boys: Ride or Die being given such a low key build up? Maybe it’s the residual effect of the Oscar slap, with this being a way of testing Will Smith’s bankability, or the aging franchise, but people seem less excited about this movie than they should be - because it’s a total blast and we’ll tell you all about it in our review!

What Happened to TIMOTHY DALTON?
For over a decade, Roger Moore had the task of living up to everything that Sean Connery had put in place as 007. And while some will defend Moore forever, we can’t forget the clown costumes and slide whistles and gondola chases and so, so much more that pushed James Bond into an uncharted level of ridiculousness. Perhaps all of this could have been prevented had Timothy Dalton not been so green, turning down ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE because he was in his mid-20s. That’s all hypothetical, of course, but Timothy Dalton would go on to reinvent James Bond in a way that may not have sat with contemporary audiences but marked a true challenge for what it meant to carry the torch. Dalton played 007 just twice; and with that, we’d challenge you to name just as many worthwhile post-Bond movies from the under-appreciated actor.Let’s find out: WTF Happened to…TIMOTHY DALTON?

What Happened to Unsolved Mysteries (1987-1999)?
True Crime is a part of everyday media that the TV series, specials, films, and documentaries all about it have been around forever. But actually, that's not the case. The format we now see, wasn’t the norm at all in the 80s. A weekly series built around cases and interviews with the people who were a part of them, re-enacting the crimes…had never been done before.
But then one day a series came along that would not only showcase True Crime but would also give us ghosts, UFOs, and all points in between. Not only that, but the theme song would cause PTSD in most kids my age who had the fortune or misfortune to hear it. That series is Unsolved Mysteries, a series so popular that it changed not only pop culture but the way investigations within law enforcement were conducted.
Today on Gone But Not Forgotten, we’re delving into the question of what happened to Unsolved Mysteries.

What Happened to DANNY GLOVER?
Detective Murtaugh sees a mysterious man pull out a weapon in the middle of a police station. He heroically jumps into action to project and serve and tackle. But it turns out it is just god ol’ Mel Gibson who overpowers and flips this 50 year old character, who is played by a 40 year old actor Danny Glover. Humiliated and hurt, Danny Glover spits out an iconic line that has grown ti define him career and it’s a meme, “I’m too old for this sh**.” Danny Glover was too old for this sh** 3 decades ago… but he has kept on grinding, making motion pictures ever since. But maybe Danny Glover is too old for this sh**…. if that “sh**” is good movies. Oh I kid! I kid!
Glover may not have any Oscars (or, surprisingly, a single nomination) but he did get a late start in his movie career – having broken out in his 40s – So what has Danny Glover, now on the cusp of his 80s, been doing? He’s certainly not retired – not on the big screen and not through his other endeavors. But how has he spent his years? What has he been doing instead of giving us the LETHAL WEAPON 5 we deserve? Or at least a Danny Glover Arnold Schwarzenegger buddy cop Predator sequel?!!! I would settle for a Wes Anderson cameo actually….

What Happened to Collateral?
If Heat and The Insider are agreed upon as Michael Mann’s all-time best films, what is the director’s most underrated feature to date? Is it Thief? The Keep? Manhunter? Public Enemies? Nah. There’s only one acceptable answer: 2004’s criminally overlooked nocturnal neo-noir Collateral. Featuring a rare villainous turn by Tom Cruise and a restrained Oscar-nominated performance by Jamie Foxx, the L.A. crime story was the first film in history to utilize the Viper FilmStream High Definition Camera. The digital format that David Fincher would later adopt for use on Zodiac and Benjamin Button. Beyond the cutting-edge technology, the remote locations Mann and his production team gave viewers a much different glimpse of Los Angeles away from the glamor of Hollywood and into the seedy, sinister parts of town rarely seen on the big screen.
Believe it or not, Collateral was conceived by screenwriter Stuart Beattie when he was 17 years old after taking a taxi home from an airport in Sydney, Australia. Before Mann, Cruise, and Foxx boarded the project, the movie was to be directed by City of God’s Fernando Meirelles, and Russell Crowe was attached to play the suave, calculated hitman Vincent. If it weren’t for Crowe’s interest, Mann possibly never would have landed in the director’s chair. Remember, Mann and Crowe had made The Insider a few years earlier and were actively looking to reunite for a worthy follow-up. For this and a whole lot more, it’s time to discover What Happened to Collateral as the movie celebrates its 20th anniversary this August.

What Happened to WES STUDI?
Actor Wes Studi heard that director Michael Mann was putting together a little bank robbery picture called Heat. According to Wes Studi himself, he proactively called Michael Mann's office to land the role of Detective Sammy Casals. His passion for the character and project led to his Last of the Mohicans director casting him again in another great role that allowed him to show off some range. This allowed Wes Studi to go beyond the “leather and feathers of period dramas” even though he excels in those too. He stole the show in Best Picture Dances with Wolves and his character didn’t even have a real name, the credits call him “Toughest Pawnee”. And he is probably the only actor who can get away with asking Daniel Day-Lewis to sign his autograph... with his left foot. He has worked alongside some of the most talented artists in the biz and made sure to thank them when he technically became the first Native American to win an Oscar. Upon accepting his unholy golden idol, he received a standing ovation from his peers and colleagues, who finally recognized this man’s work. Iconic Native American actor Wes Studi, perfected his craft by embracing his personal and ancestral history. Using his like experiences, he is able to help audiences feel like they are fighting along side a true warrior. He had already led what most would refer to as a full life before he entered acting, so he rightfully has always seen himself as more than an actor. So gather around and pass over that peace pipe as we try to find out how this dude became such a cinematic badass and discover What Happened to Wes Studi.

What Exactly Is WOKE CINEMA?! (And Why People Hate It)
In this new on-going series, we will examine the current political climate surrounding all things “woke” when it comes to the cinematic arts. Are Hollywood studios pushing an agenda? Is this creating a division amongst us peasants? Is it even possible to critique or watch a film without politics coming into play anymore?
Our hot shot team of dedicated researchers may have found out that things might not be so black and white… Pun intended? Who knows anymore?! It is an exciting and scary time to be making and watching movies but that type of chaotic environment allows this medium to experiment and grow. Controversy can always inspire conversation and that’s what we are hoping to do with this new show.
I believe it was the Disney+ flick Peter & Wendy that responded with a “So!?” when asked why The Lost Boys were not exactly Boys. And I believe it was South Park’s Cartman who, while poking fun at Kathleen Kennedy said, “Put a chick in it and make her lame and gay.” Sooooo…. What did she mean by “So?” and what did Cartman mean by “Put a chick in it and make her lame and gay.’? I don’t exactly understand all of that but do I understand LAME. Trust me, I identify as lame.
Like it or not, in the minds of many, the definition of “woke” has changed to mean “lame”. It used to be cool. “Stay woke” was seen as a battle cry to fight injustice and bring equality to the people. But the phrase got overused to the point of parody and social justice morphed into a business and even almost a religion. Wokeness began with the best of intentions but evolved/mutated/transitioned into something well…lame. The definition of the word lame is “uninspiring and dull”. That is what many of these new films and characters have been feeling like… uninspiring and dull. Unfortunately, many of these new dull sources of art and entertainment fall under the category of “Woke”. This unfortunately creates a connection in our collective minds that “woke” content equals “lame” content. This word “lame” also means “unable to walk without difficulty” which is what’s happening to Disney and other studios, who seem to be doubling down on the pandering of “wokeness” in their content, rather than quality entertainment.
Context is key when a film is labeled “woke” and it depends on who is doing the labeling and if the movie is good or not. “Lame Wokeness" is very forgivable when the film offers other “cool” cinematic aspects. You got Good Woke, Bad Woke and Ugly Woke and somehow the Good Woke is overshadowed by the abundance of Bad Ugly Woke… which is lame…. and confusing… but that’s why we are trying our best to tackle these issues. Cinema is still a relatively new tool for artistic expression and we are still making mistakes when it comes to how to tell the best story in the most effective way possible. This new call to arms for our content to be more woke or less woke is the next frontier to explore and who knows what we will find in this new wild wild west of wokeness.
At first, “Woke Cinema” was all about telling new stories from new points of view from people who may not have had their stories told in the past due to actual hate and discrimination and racism or sexism or any-ism you wanna ism. But maybe those good intentions went too far, lost focus and began to feel forced, done out of fear and almost hateful themselves; creating enemies out of lifelong allies and supporters. Was it intentional or an accident? Not even the most perfect of teenage rocket scientist Mary Sue Jedi can answer that.

BASEketball - Overachieving at Underachieving!
There’s a forgotten chapter in the saga of Matt Stone and Trey Parker. In between South Park’s early success and their big-screen hit, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, which gave them legit critical respectability, the pair starred in a movie for Airplane- The Naked Gun director David Zucker - BASEketball. It remains the only project the two have ever acted in that they didn’t write, direct or produce themselves, and it was a major box office flop that’s become unfairly obscure over the years. But, if you grew up in the late nineties and liked South Park, chances are you saw it when it hit video - and probably more than once.

Judgment Night: The Ultimate 90s Action Thriller
It’s a story we’ve all heard before. A group of friends stray off the beaten path and end up having to fight for their lives. This has served as the set-up for many classic horror films and thrillers. Back in the early ‘90s, director Stephen Hopkins used it as the set-up for an action movie that has an awesome cast. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, and Stephen Dorff play the friends fighting to survive. Denis Leary is the leader of the criminal gang out for their blood. Unfortunately, not a lot of people went to see the movie when it was released… but they did make the soundtrack a hit. The movie is called Judgment Night, and it’s time for it to be Revisited.

What Happened to CHANNING TATUM?
From "Magic Mike" to "This Is The End" to a cancelled Gambit film set in the X-men universe, Channing Tatum is far and away one of the more interesting cases of career trajectory. An actor that began his career as a hunky boyfriend-type but soon would sink his teeth into more comedic territory that would pay dividends in Seth Rogen led film "This Is The End" and his run starring alongside Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street 1&2. With a promising talent for being charming, funny, and easy on the eyes- Channing was a shoe-in for the role of Gambit in a super-powered heist film meant to be produced by 20th Century Fox. Not to mention the iconic leaked emails from the Sony hack some years ago which showed Tatum's interest in a Ghostbusters reboot. In any situation, this guys has won the hearts of many and has proven to have much more left in the tank.

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes REVIEW!
It was never going to be easy following up the pretty damn good Apes trilogy 20th Century Fox put out a little while back. Many forget that director Matt Reeves, who was elevated to the A-list thanks to his work on those films, actually only directed the second and third films of the trilogy, with Rupert Wyatt directing the first film, which wasn’t quite the epic the other two were. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say it was a kind of shaky start to what ended up being an amazing trilogy, so as such, I went into Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes willing to cut the former Maze Runner director a lot of slack. Happily, Ball ended up making a good Planet of the Apes movie; even if it's not quite the masterpiece, some of those breathless early reactions teased.

Johnny Dangerously: The Best Michael Keaton Movie You Never Saw!
Welcome to a rare comedy focused episode of The Best Movie You Never Saw, about a movie I loved as a kid that doesn’t super hold up forty years later, but is still kinda fun - Johnny Dangerously. A gangster comedy in the vein of Airplane, Johnny Dangerously is probably a movie a lot of younger viewers wouldn’t really get because it satirizes James Cagney gangster movies from the 30s and 40s, but if you like older movies and its star, Michael Keaton, this one is a treat.

What Happened to JEFFREY JONES?
Lydia Deetz, her stepmother Delia and her daughter Astrid stand over a casket, the burial services in progress. We can barely make out who the funeral is for but there he is on the headstone: Charles Deetz. While Charles was once part of the BEETLEJUICE sequel when the ghost with the most was to “go Hawaiian”, he was written entirely out of BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE...for reasons that will soon be obvious. Despite the original’s and sequel’s dalliances with the afterlife, Jeffrey Jones will not be in BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE – or pretty much any other legitimate movie – following his disgraceful tumble from his small but reliable spotlight. Perfectly fitting into prestigious period pieces and goofball funny flicks. Jones is a Golden Globe nominee with consistent work – a mix of villain, comedic and at times patriarchal roles, Jeffrey Jones went from FERRIS BUELLER baddie to WHO’S YOUR CADDY?

What Happened To Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny?!
The year was 1973, George Lucas had just finished writing the screenplay for what would be his hit coming of age story American Graffiti. A poster on a wall caught his eye, an image of a man leaping between a horse and truck made him lose focus and day dream of the old serialized films he enjoyed as a child. Films such as Buck Rogers, Zorro’s Fighting Legion and Spy Smasher flashed through his brain as he had the instant idea of bringing that type of B-level hero to the big screen. He would take this idea and flesh out a story of a college professor who moonlit as an archeologist adventurer. Little did he know that simple idea would yield one of the greatest and most enduring franchises in movie history as his character Indiana Jones has gone on to appear in five feature films over the course of 42 years that have grossed nearly $2 billion at the worldwide box office. For many, anytime the character graces the screen is cause for celebration but it would seem that the years have not been kind to the fedora wearing hero as his last adventure was met with a giant shoulder shrug by audiences. With his final adventure in our rear views, its time we take a look at just WTF Happened to Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.

Predator - Arnold At His BEST?
Just take a sneaky peak back on the movies we’ve covered so far on our ARNIE REVISITED series, and the Austrian Oak had already covered several genres in his rise from bodybuilder to Hollywood icon. Raw Deal and Commando were straight up action movies, while his work as Conan was an epic mix of action and fantasy. You can even argue that The Terminator is a classic 80s slasher flick, and not simply the revolutionary sci-fi masterpiece it’s generally regarded as. However, he hadn’t managed to blend both horror and science fiction in any of his previous movies, in the way he did with the film we’re focusing on in today’s episode - Predator. It was such a huge success for both star and franchise that it not only helped to further cement Arnie as a Hollywood icon, but also created a franchise packed with sequels, a prequel, crossovers, video games, graphic novels, and so much more. Sure, some of the content in the Predator franchise may be somewhat hit and miss, but there’s no denying the iconic nature of the first movie, with its memorable one-liners, gory deaths and awesome jungle based action.
As we found out in our last episode, the 'Austrian Oak’s' last movie before taking on deadly camouflaged aliens, 1986’s Raw Deal, was a decent action flick, but not necessarily an iconic entry in his back catalogue. So, the actor was more than likely on the lookout for a script that could elevate his career and also expand upon the genres in which he had already found great success. Was Predator the movie to achieve all of this? We all know it was, of course, but just how exactly did the sci-fi epic come to be such an iconic movie of the 80s? Well, it’s time to work on those biceps, and embrace your inner goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus, as we find out here, on ARNIE REVISITED.

What Happened to ROB REINER?
Once a meathead, always a meathead? Well, if you ask Fox News, Rob Reiner is more of a meathead than ever, spewing out his political diatribes and pushing an ultra-liberal agenda devouring anything and everything that is not left of center. And if you ask baby boomers, Reiner will always be Meathead with a capital M, his beloved character from ALL IN THE FAMILY. And if you ask a film connoisseur, they will say that Rob Reiner is a filmmaker who gave us some of the best flicks ever….until he didn’t. But, really, Rob Reiner – now nearly 60 years in the business – is an extension of both of these. Yes, he spends more time on REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER than he does working on genre-defining scripts but he has solidified his career enough with classics like THIS IS SPINAL TAP, STAND BY ME, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, and MISERY that it almost doesn’t matter how much money-losing crap he puts out now…and there is a lot of it…and NORTH isn’t even the worst of it! So how did this man go from making a few great movies to defining and elevating our pop culture on so many different levels to suddenly pumping out nothing but heartless, soulless political garbage and rom-coms that are neither romantic nor comedic? So did this jack of all genres become a master of none? So let’s find out: WTF Happened to…ROB REINER?

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead: A 90s Cult Classic?
It was a movie with a questionable title. A lot of critics were rough on it. Gene Siskel even called it one of the worst movies of the year. It came and went in theatres with few movie-goers paying any attention. But in the years since its release, it has become a beloved cult classic. With a legion of fans that love quoting its memorable lines. Some of its youngest viewers were drawn in by what they saw as a wish fulfillment concept: What would you do if the babysitter croaked on the first day of your mom’s vacation... so you had the house to yourself for two months straight? We get to see what the Crandall kids would do in the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead – and it’s time for this one to be Revisited.

What Happened to The Fall Guy (1981-86)?
The summer is starting off with a bang next week with the release of The Fall Guy, a big-budget action flick starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. However, some folks may not realize that it's actually a remake of a classic TV show from the eighties starring Lee Majors as stuntman/bounty hunter Colt Seavers. Seavers was a stunt-man by day, who supplemented his income tracking down bad guys, and the show was almost as big of a hit as Majors' previous hit, The Six Million Dollar Man. In this episode, we dig into how The Fall Guy came to be, how gorgeous co-star Heather Thomas became one of the biggest pin-ups of the decade, and how the new movie pays tribute to the show's lasting legacy.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Movie Review
Guy Ritchie has had quite an interesting career over the last decade, but he's really settled into this period/action niche. And I'm all for it. If there's one thing I'll never tire of, it's Nazis being killed in brutal ways. They're the most one-dimensionally evil bad guy possible. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare gives us that in spades, with what feels like hundreds of them getting gunned down before our very eyes. It's absolutely glorious.

Back to the Future: Still The Greatest Time Travel Story of All Time
The year was 1985 when Super Mario Bros. took the Nintendo Entertainment System by storm; Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes debuted in newspapers, and two unlikely friends named Marty McFly and Emmett Lathrop Brown piloted cinema's most iconic time machine to a year when Panama hats and kitten heels were all the rage, 1955.
Fiercely protected at a level akin to Ghostbusters and Star Wars by millennials worldwide, Robert Zemeckis's Back to the Future sits enthroned at Nostalgia Mountain's top. The original film has spawned two sequels, a cartoon series, video game adaptations, a Broadway musical, and more. But how does it hold up by today's standards?

What Happened to Bruce Campbell?
Ask Bruce Campbell, and he’ll tell you he’s “sick of over-trained heroes. I'm really bored with that. Guys that are just ripped to shreds and, you know, full of skills. That's boring to me. Give me the mechanic that picks up a weapon, you know? Now I'm interested. That's my hero. That could be me.”
Ash Williams of the Evil Dead franchise IS that hero. Part of the lasting appeal of the best character Bruce Campbell has ever played is that the audience can see themselves in him, like if they were pressed into fighting an army of Deadites, they could take up the mantle, the chainsaw, the boomstick, and mow down wave after wave of the undead masses.
