| | rantnrave:// Sending this little gift out to you early... So had your turkey and all those "fixings." (Warning: this link is not safe for work or around kids. Or people without a sense of humor). Now the family may be getting a little stale. Your uncle is drunk and the kids are running around the couch like mental patients. Your aunt is kissing thick red lipstick all over your cheek. Grab your phone or laptop. Go to the room that no one is in and go deep down the rabbit hole like ALICE IN WONDERLAND with REDEF's collection of ORAL HISTORIES of movies, television, and video games. I get so much joy from these creations and I love the stories behind them. Below are all the related REDEF SETS we've created since our launch. We appreciate your support and commitment to curiosity. Settle in. Find the right couch or chair. This is going to take a while. It's addicting. Happy Turkey. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Nothing better than getting a retro play by play of the making of a movie. That's why we love oral histories of them. Here is an ever growing list of the better ones. | | |
|
| Did you know Robert De Niro’s “Taxi Driver” monologue was ad-libbed? Or that the “Trainspotting” actors had to re-record their lines so American audiences could understand them? Learn more secrets from the set from those who were there. | | |
|
| In case you've ever wondered why that rabbit in "Fatal Attraction" was boiled, not grilled. Or how many takes it took to make sure you didn’t see Elizabeth Hurley's naughty parts in "Austin Powers." Or what "Is the water warm enough?" means. Behind the scenes, in their own words. | | |
|
| Turns out that growing up with brothers is a good way to prepare for a movie with lots of fight scenes. And being the Borg Queen means starting your day at 2:30 in the morning. And Judd Apatow can give script notes without opening the script. Stories from behind the scenes of "Fight Club," "Star Trek: First Contact," "The Big Sick" and more. | | |
|
| If you're like me, you've spent maybe 1/4 of your life watching TV. Now spend even more time reading about what it was like to make some of the greatest shows of all time. | | |
|
| Our first set of TV oral histories was such a hit with key demos that we've greenlit a second. Dive in to this all-new batch of binge-worthy behind-the-scenes tales. | | |
|
| Did you know that Kanye West met his future wife making his show "Alligator Boots"? Or that Judge Ito requested "Melrose Place" videos for the jurors during the O.J. trial? Take a peek behind the curtain with the creators, casts and crews of some of TV's most iconic shows. | | |
|
| That time Richard Lewis had to curb his enthusiasm for a colonoscopy. That feeling when the entire cast of "Mad Men" knew the show would never go to series. A moment of grace on "BoJack Horseman." More shows, more stories. | | |
|
| That time the Kardashians forgot about Khloe in the middle of Armenia. That time Matt LeBlanc convinced the "Friends" producers that maybe he shouldn't hit on his roommates. That time Luke Danes almost became a female character. How it all happened—or didn't happen—in their own words. | | |
|
| Did you know young Aubrey Graham was working on his early raps in his basement while shooting "Degrassi: TNG”? Or that the creator of “SpongeBob SquarePants” was a marine biologist? Pour yourself a bowl of Froot Loops, pull up a bean bag and enjoy these stories and more from some of your favorite childhood shows. | | |
|
| Did you know Jean-Claude Van Damme was deemed too short to play the Predator? Or that Sean Connery passed on “Mortal Kombat” because he wanted to focus on his golf game? Here are the stories behind the bullets, biceps and bloodshed of your favorite action films. | | |
|
| Did you know that “Ms. Pac-Man” started out as a character named “Crazy Otto”? Or that “Halo: Combat Evolved” was originally going to be a real-time strategy game? Here are the companies, consoles and titles that ate your quarters and bruised your thumbs. | | |
