There is something to be said or to be learned from the greatest box office disasters of all time. I'm just not sure what it is! Each movie from Intolerance (1916) to Cats (2019) is covered in detail with engaging stories and depth of understanding. I read every footnote for greater context and enjoyed learning about all of Hollywood's flops.
Always fun to crack open some schadenfreude and look at the great flops from history. My only complaint is the title, which seems a blatant attempt to capitalize on other, more popular, works with the same title.
