Here's why that almost didn't happen. It made $25.5 million. Ranked 41st at the box office that year. By every normal metric, it flopped. Then VHS happened — and it became immortal. Behind the camera was a different story: a giant who physically couldn't lift anyone, a leading man who filmed half the movie secretly in agony, an actor genuinely knocked unconscious on set, and a sword fight so good it was choreographed by the guy behind Darth Vader's lightsaber duels. This is Are You Shitting Me? — something I learned while avoiding real responsibilities. Hope you're drinking a beer. 🎧 New episodes every week or so.
