For over a decade, Tom Cruise was Hollywood's most bankable star, ruling Tinseltown with a million-dollar grin and a carefully crafted image. But when ditching his publicist led to couch-jumping antics, Scientology scandals, and box office bombs, La La Landâs Top Gun found himself in a tailspin that even Ethan Hunt couldn't escape.
On each episode of Wonderyâs podcast The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle one of the biggest pop-culture fails of all time and try to answer the age-old question: who thought THIS was a good idea?

This is just a preview of The Big Flop. To hear the full episode, listen to The Big Flop wherever you get your podcasts, or at wondery.fm/thebigflop_whatwentwrong.

How did a tennis pro, a theater nerd, and a TV actor redefine the action genre? Because they had nothing left to lose. This week, Chris and Lizzie dive deep into 1988âs quintessential Christmas film: from Bruceâs receding hairline and an unfinished script to Rickmanâs inability to hold a gun and Joel Silverâs desire to just blow shit up, this production had more problems than a McClane marriage.

Paul Rudd was almost murdered, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were wasted, and El Niño threatened to rain out production - thatâs just the beginning of what went wrong on Clueless (1995). Find out how Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy got cast, and why one studio almost changed it to be more about⊠the guys? As if! It took writer/director Amy Heckerling years to get her vision to the screen, but it was like, totally worth it.
CORRECTIONS: Chris mistakenly refers to having watched the Criterion Blu-Ray release of "Clueless" - there is no Criterion release! He actually watched the 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray which had been gifted to his wife in a flawlessly photoshopped Criterion package. He apologizes for the confusion but can confirm the transfer looks great.
