Death Becomes Her (1992) and The Wedding Singer (1998)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two hit comedies made at different ends of the 1990s.

Death Becomes Her was expensive, technically demanding and ultimately visually groundbreaking - and it'd be the film that brought Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn together, after they passed on Thelma & Louise.

The Wedding Singer, meanwhile, would alter notably because of two women: Drew Barrymore, and the late, great Carrie Fisher.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
