Join us on the latest episode of the Blast Zone Podcast as we welcome back the legendary Regular M1ke (@RegularM1ke) to discuss one of the forgotten 90s sports thrillers, THE FAN. Directed by Tony Scott and featuring an all-star cast including Wesley Snipes, Robert DeNiro, John Leguizamo, Ellen Barkin, and Benicio Del Toro, this 1996 film had a budget of $55 million but unfortunately only grossed $42 million, resulting in an estimated loss of $35 million. In this episode, we break down what went wrong and why this movie remains a cult classic for some. Don't miss our in-depth analysis starting at 8:01, along with a fun "Show & Tell" segment at 3:20. Plus, stay tuned for our next episode where we tackle another big-budget comedy, LAND OF THE LOST (2009). Subscribe now for the best movie and comedy podcast content!
