About this episode
This week we look at one of the biggest box office flops of the last 50 years of cinema. How does a movie withe a $110 million dollar budget and and engaging story crash so hard? Answer: Make the lead character a CGI monkey and the rest of the cast human beings around him. based on the true story of the English pop star Robbie Williams, we loose site of his rise to fame, personal struggles, and road to redemption. Why? Because the director took the story down a weird corridor of crazy film making. Join us as we explore what could have been and why we think this movie failed where others in this genre wildly succeeded.
