The Biggest Flop Of All Time? Sep 23, 2024

Show notes

Potentially the biggest flop of all time isn't from Hollywood, in publishing, or on the small screen. Richard & Marina discuss the failing of Sony's Concord, an online shooter game taken offline just two weeks after release.

From huge flop to huge success, The Chosen is perhaps the most popular TV show in the world you've never heard of. How has this American Christian drama telling the story of Jesus of Nazareth, risen to achieve a Rotten Tomatoes rating on parity with Breaking Bad, The Wire and others?

On Rotten Tomatoes people are making (and losing) money betting on film popularity ratings. Is review bombing gaming this system?
