Why did it take so long to make a Simpsons movie? Did Ed Harris really almost drown on The Abyss? How many times have they attempted to reboot Batman? And who thought Ugly Sonic was a good idea?
Well, making stuff is hard. Especially in the entertainment world where big egos, bigger budgets, and just plain bad luck can make things go horribly wrong. In each episode of It Was a Sh*t Show, hosts Ian... more

Saw the Melania episode. Thank you for meeting the moment- the international audience is baffled and frustrated that Americans are not taking action en masse, so as much as it depressed you it actually was reassuring to me to hear someone from your country speaking up and calling for action. Take care - just know that the rest of the sane world is supporting you from afar.
I’ve listened to these guys for years, never missing a one with appreciation on the work they put into each episode. The sincerity at the end of the Melania episode made me choke up as I was driving and wanted to express my appreciation and support. Thanks guys for the years of educational morning podcasts.
This is one of those podcasts you wish had an episode out every other day. The research is fantastic. The comedy is just as good. And you can’t help but feel a part of the group as you laugh along. It’s a joy to listen to, even if there are some bummer and honestly terrible things that happened during some of the productions they cover.
The latest episode “Melanie” however, is a stand out. Although there are some jokes and lightheartedness this episode was heavy. But I’m so glad they made it. I... more
Latest episode starts as a documentary review, then drifts off course.
It moves into Epstein-related material and broader political takes. These are serious issues and worth acknowledging, but they’re not the focus here. The shift pulls the discussion away from the documentary.
A brief mention would have worked. Instead, it takes over.
The structure is the main issue:
•Review the documentary
•Give context where needed
•Don’t let unrelated topics take control
Right now, the this feels like a v... more
I just made up the term “epy” because I made a typo. This is a great show and the research and discussions are always interesting. Thank you guys!
