Episode Too: The 'Making of' Fletch Saga
Episode description
In Episode 2, we tackle the complicated history of the "making of" Fletch: the Movie and the rollercoaster ride it took to get this literary property off the ground. You think the Fletch Won saga was nuts? You won't believe this! Laker Jim starts at the very beginning and leaves young stone unturned up until the film's May 1985 release. Literary Fletch debuts with the first few chapters from broken down by Jake. Greg Mottola tweets us with some "Confess, Fletch" updates, the boys wish Happy Birthday to Chevy Chase, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, and William "Mr Undrhill" Traylor, and Fletch crew listens to some listener voicemails, and lots more.
