SchmearCast Ep 44: 'Juror #2' and 'Box Office Poison' with Author Tim Robey

We celebrate Hollywood's best, but what can we learn from Tinseltown's worst?
Juror # 2 Review: Clint Eastwood Directs Riveting Courtroom Drama

First some thoughts on the troubled release of Clint Eastwood’s new legal drama, Juror #2, starring Nicholas Hoult. Why did Warner Bros. seemingly bury the film, and is it worth a watch?

Then, Daily Telegraph critic and author Tim Robey joins to chat about his delightful new book, Box Office Poison: Hollywood’s Story in a Century of Flops.

He and Schmear dive into the wild behind-the-scenes egos and chaos on films ranging from William Friedkin’s ambitious Sorcerer to David Lynch’s ill-fated Dune, and many more. They wrap up with a look at the very flop-prone 2024 movie year, discussing films like Megalopolis and Furiosa.
