ABOUT US
What Went Wrong was conceived by Chris Winterbauer, Lizzie Bassett and David Boman in 2019 at the Veggie Grill next to the now defunct ArcLight Hollywood. Five fateful (and often ill-advised) words (“we should start a podcast”) spawned a bi-weekly exploration of the unbelievably complex, maddening and often hilarious roads your favorite films took to get to the big screen.
MEET LIZZIE
Lizzie Bassett Boman is a podcast host, writer, producer, and connoisseur of exquisitely disastrous cinema. She's previously worked for IMDb, Good Mythical Morning, and a show called YouTube Nation. No one watched it but she made a lot of friends. And that's what really counts. When she's not researching why James Cameron punched his safety diver in the face, she's probably spending time with her dog, two cats, or husband. In that order.
MEET CHRIS
Christopher Winterbauer is an award winning (and losing) screenwriter and director known for directing Moonshot (2022), for writing and directing Wyrm (2019), and for (just) writing this biography. He was born in Seattle, Washington, was raised by lawyers, and worked for Intel (in corporate finance) prior to pursuing a career in the film industry.
MEET DAVID
David Boman is a film composer and audio aficionado with a background in emergency medicine and dog whispering. He is known for scoring a number of feature films, including What Happens Later (2023), Moonshot (2022) and Wyrm (2019). He also writes music and sound designs podcasts and video games.
SHOW LOVE
“Lizzie and Chris are the best! Their rapport is so enjoyable. Unlike many other podcasts they get right to the point without lots of side talk. I appreciate that so much! The deep dive into movie classics gives me a whole new insight into the intricacies of making a film. If you haven’t listened, please do, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I love Lizzie and Chris. I am addicted to this podcast, there are episodes that by now I have listened to more than twice and they are getting better, weird thing?”

“Good news: my wife and I started listening to the podcast, then watching the corresponding movies. It’s opened our eyes to a world of ~older~ Hollywood films we’d been missing our whole lives. The hosts are amazing, the research is fascinating, and the length is perfect. It’s my favorite podcast full stop.
Bad news: we have now fully entered into a parasocial relationship with the hosts. We love you both.”

“Lizzie and Chris are the film nerd friends you always wanted. Witty, curious and knowledgeable without being pedantic. The stories are engaging even with films you’ve never seen. Thanks for making my cube life bearable.”
