Episode description

This week's movie, ROAR, is a disaster anyway you slice it. The passion project of Noel Marshall, who stars alongside his real-life wife (at the time) Tippi Hedren, her daughter Melanie Griffith, and his two sons, this movie is about a conservationist in Africa who runs a big cat preserve, and while he's out chasing poachers his family pays a visit to him, and are in turn stalked by his massive collection of lions, tigers and assorted other big cats - all of whom are the real deal. The movie took five years to film, crew members were routinely attacked, maimed, scalped, disfigured and more, and the movie opened to essentially empty movie theatres. Close to forty years later, it stands as one of the most dangerous films ever made so join us as we figure out WTF Happened to ROAR!
