More Box Office Bombs: Megalopolis and Tron Ares
About this episode
The episode explores recent Hollywood box office failures, focusing on Megalopolis and Tron: Ares.
They say lightning never strikes twice, but Hollywood keeps proving otherwise. In this budget-busting pair of episodes, Shane and Duncan return to the cinematic graveyard for a fresh look at some of Hollywood’s most spectacular recent failures: the tangled mess of Megalopolis, the glossy fizzle of Tron: Ares, and a few other high-budget disasters that left studios scrambling. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at big swings, bigger misses, and the brutal math of modern moviemaking. ~Become an Insomniac!
