About the episode

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Tango & Cash (1989), which scored 31% on Rotten Tomatoes and turned a $54 million budget into $120 million worldwide. It started shooting without a finished script, fired its director three months in, and ended with Sylvester Stallone rewriting and directing much of it while producer Jon Peters pushed for crazier set pieces. The result is a tangled mess of buddy cop movie, courtroom drama, prison break and monster truck rally. It still ends up a lot of fun to watch.
