  • The Fall of Skywalker III: TrIXie

    May 19, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min

    Star Wars Episode IX is often dismissed as a film made by committee, but with its constant on-set rewrites, loose improvisational style and hyperactive camera movement, it’s very much a J.J. Abrams film. All hail the Oracle, my horrible…

  • Artemis Fowl

    October 6, 2025 · 1 hr 14 min

    Artemis Fowl is many things: a character, a book, a best-selling children's series, a long resident of development hell and a massive investment in a potential franchise. But as a film, it basically doesn’t exist. If you want to support…

  • Dredd

    June 29, 2025 · 1 hr 14 min

    2012’s Dredd is a nexus of pop culture rumours, mysteries and intrigue: but are we asking the right question when we ask who actually directed it? If you wish this episode had been about the 1995 film, it wasn't because Jason Jenkins…

About the show

A podcast about the film industry that looks at both the films, and the industry. The show covers the writing, shooting, editing and reshooting of troubled films and tries to not only find out what happened, but why, sometimes in a single episode, sometimes over an entire season. Hosted by film writer Tansy Gardam, Going Rogue is all about the context and complications of making movies, and the often wild reasons that films are... like that. You can support the show at Patreon.com/GoingRoguePodcast
