UNFINISHED BUSINESS: DEEP DIVE – DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE (2001)

Unfinished Business TELEVISION’s DEEP DIVE looks back at the tepid John Travolta thriller DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE. As director Harold Becker’s last big screen credit, it also served as Vince Vaughn’s last serious performance before starring in a string of 2000s comedies. We dive into a few behind the scenes controversies, the bizarre original ending, and why such a pedestrian thriller was worth a deep dive.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: DEEP DIVE – SCREAM 2 (1997)

It’s Black Friday. You know what that means. Unfinished Business TELEVISION takes a DEEP DIVE into a popular ‘90s horror franchise with Wes Craven’s SCREAM 2. Released one year after the surprise success of its predecessor, this college-set continuation was such a top-secret production that the internet leaked the script! As we share our theatrical experiences when it came out, we ask if it still holds up today and where it stacks among the Scream series. Learn all there is to know and SUBSCRIBE!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: DEEP DIVE – THE FAN (1996)

The legendary Tony Scott is the highlight in this episode of Unfinished Business TELEVISION’s DEEP DIVE. The guys look back at this flawed ‘90s thriller with Robert De Niro playing a psychotic baseball fanatic and Wesley Snipes as the struggling star in his sights.
