NBC made a knockoff of THE LOVE BOAT that was so expensive - and such a huge failure - that it almost bankrupted the network!

Folks, this is SUPERTRAIN, a series about a nuclear-powered train with celebrity guests who for some reason are always committing crimes! Huge names! Weird stories! Could it be that one of the most notorious TV shows ever was... CANCELED TOO SOON?

When THE IDOL got canceled, everyone made sure we knew about it. And we swore at that time that we would, someday, cover the most notorious TV dud in years on CANCELED TOO SOON.

Today, dear listeners, is that day. Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd lead a staggeringly impressive cast in Sam Levinson's prurient, cynical, baffling erotic (?) thriller (?) drama (?) about a young music star who falls in with a creepy abuser, whose humiliations and tortures bring out the best in her music.

Was it CANCELED TOO SOON? By god, we are about to find out.

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

This week, an amoeba from space transforms a cuttlefish, a crab and a turtle into giant monsters, in a film somewhat fittingly titled SPACE AMOEBA!

It's got some of the best visual effects we've seen so far on the THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY podcast... but is it also one of the worst films?

You're about to find out!

We're bringing CANCELED TOO SOON back for the Halloween season, with a month-long event we call SCARYTOBER!

First up, a failed pilot for a horror anthology series written and directed by Ed Wood, about an actor looking at things in a theater after dark! It's an episode called FINAL CURTAIN, in what would have been a show entitled PORTRAITS OF TERROR!

Ed Wood has been called the worst director of all time, so why, dear listeners, do William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold spend so much time comparing his work to Alain Resnais and Ingmar Bergman? And was his failed pilot... CANCELED TOO SOON?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!

This week, it's a film most GODZILLA fans hate, but a film that GODZILLA creator Ishiro Honda loved. And we're going to have one heck of a time deciding if it's the worst film in the series, the most interesting film in the series, or both!

It's the anti-bullying coming of age drama ALL MONSTERS ATTACK, which happens to have monsters in it, in an all-new episode of THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY!
