We take the deep trip with Darren Aronofsky on his grief tour of conquistadors, neuroscience, and bubble spaceships. The Fountain is crazy. What started out as a 100 million Warner Bros production, got downsized to a 35 million love letter to Rachel Weisz after Brad Pitt walked away from the production only weeks before shooting. Aronofsky refused to give up on his time-hopping quest for eternal life. The Fountain is what happens when an all-star, who just hits two home runs, gets cocky, millions of more dollars, and enough hubris to sink a battleship. It is a glorious mess. Special Guest: Ryan Hendricks, a movie industry veteran, long time friend, and film aficionado Join us as we trace the life of The Fountain from conception (Brad Pitt cold feet) to production (budget cut by 60%) to release (C- Cinemascore) to reception (pseudo cult hit)
