44 - 'Juror #2' and 'Box Office Poison' with Author Tim Robey

First some thoughts on the troubled release of Clint Eastwood’s new legal drama, 'Juror #2,' starring Nicholas Hoult (4:43). 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.' (13:27)

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.' (45:46)
