Send us a textThis audio is our first video show on Youtube - check it out there if you'd like to see our faces for radio. https://www.youtube.com/@Did-You-Hear-About-This ROAR: The Most Dangerous Movie Ever? is an apt title for the 1981 film known for its notoriously hazardous production. Directed by Noel Marshall and starring Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith, the movie featured over 100 untrained lions, tigers, and other big cats, leading to an on-set environment so dangerous that it resulted in numerous injuries to cast and crew. The film's reputation as "the most dangerous movie ever made" stems from real-life attacks, with over 70 reported injuries, including severe maulings and bites. It is a bizarre and chilling reminder of the perils of mixing untrained wild animals with film production. After that heart-warming stuff, we cover news about Van Halen, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Black Sabbath, The Hard Rock, and more.Attention Gen X, join us!
