The very future of the James Bond movie franchise was resting on The Spy Who Loved Me. Producer Albert R Broccoli was contending with the dissolution of his business partnership, a potential rival film, and an underperforming previous 007 film. Plus, questions about his leading man. And it was a leading man causing conversations when it came to Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach. Where was Steve Guttenberg? Come to think of it, where was Bobcat Goldthwait? And could the enduring franchise survive? The behind the scenes stories of both movies are told in this episode. Please note this is the last regular episode of Film Stories for a few weeks, while I take some summer downtime. Specials will follow...! Learn more about your ad choices.

Nearly 500 episodes in, and the Film Stories podcast finally arrives at a Godfather film. Specifically, The Godfather Part III, a fascinating project whose behind the scenes story went on for over a decade. The number of attempts to get the film made climbed into double figures, named such as Sylvester Stallone, Madonna and John Travolta were amongst those linked. But also: writer/director Francis Ford Coppola was not keen to make the movie. Writer/director Amy Heckerling had an opposite problem with Clueless. She was keen to make the story, but for a while, she couldn't get anyone to stump up the bill. When they did? Well, Heckerling finally got some of the respect she deserved... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1992's Aladdin is one of Disney's most successful animated films. There have been sequels. There's been a live action remake. A Broadway show. Yet on one point in 1991, a day known during the production as 'Black Friday', things went very wrong. And the creative team had less than 18 months to turn things around. The story of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze (1991) was one of haste, and a shoehorned-in rapper. But in the UK, it's also responsible for one of the British Board Of Film Classification's most bizarre issues: and it's all to do with sausages. Stories of both films are told in this, the latest episode of the multi-award-winning Film Stories podcast. Now with sausages. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
