Ep. 14 - Heaven’s Gate (1980)

One of the great "making-of" stories in Hollywood history, HEAVEN'S GATE (#3 on the board) is considered one of the greatest failures of all time. This week, we give it a reappraisal. Give this episode a listen to hear why we think this film deserves to be considered one of the great western epics of all time, despite many people at the time calling it one of the worst movies ever made.
