Development Hell

It's THE DEVVIES!! This week, we look back on 2023 as a year of coulda's, woulda's, and shoulda's in movies, music, games, movies... Who will win, but more over, who already lost??

If you're going through the first week of football withdrawals, you're exactly who Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol were looking to please with the ill-fated XFL. Listen in to learn about this absolute car crash of athletes, executives, and blimps - yes, blimps.

This episode is chock full of fun times and MTN DEW ACTION RANCH! We dive headfirst into the baja of the Mtn Dew Game Jam, a failed reality TV Pilot, Spike's secret addiction and Richard's ideal action ranch. Follow us on IG: @devhellpodcast

Today Richard brings Spider-Man Lotus to the alter, the highly controversial fan-film made by a highly controversial filmmaker. We also examine fan fims at large and their place in the current IP driven media landscape. Follow us on instagram @devhellpodcast @kyleandersoncomedy @hgspike and @richiehumps

This episode we catch up with a wild summer of movies, the strike, and of course Krakens.

Troy Duffy, step aside, as we go on the journey of "bob's game" and its sole developer, Robert Pelloni. Release date delays, delusional egos, and Spike needing things explained to him. Yet another classic video game episode.  As a side note, buried in this episode description, written late at night: If you want to make something, do what you can to make it with friends, because doing things - big, small, dumb, serious, games, movies, music, podcasts - together, with whoever, and being nice about it, f#king rules. 

Obsessive nerds, corrupt investors, Jack Kirby, and, of course, a 300-foot building with 1000 bowling lanes in it. Science Fiction Land could've had it all, but instead it crumbled, ruining (and literally saving!) lives along the way.

Our first repeat Development Hell director appears in the form of George Miller and his ill-fated 2009 attempt at "Justice League: Mortal". Richard takes us through the leaked script, the bonkers cast, and tries to get Kyle and Spike to calm down about "car jar".

We're kicking off 2023 with a series of unfinished and unreleased projects, starting with Roger Corman's "The Fantastic Four". Never seen it? That's on purpose. 

"Little Italy" is a nightmare, but watching it 8 times in a day? A dream! Joined by "Cabin Boys" Mitch Holleman, JP Noda, and Jacob Borja, we dive into not just the horrifying 2018 film, but also why we'll unfortunately never forget a frame of it. TOPICS INCLUDE: favorite pizzas, prison reform, and Minions!!
