WTF Happened to DEATH TO SMOOCHY (2002)?

Danny DeVito’s pitch black children’s TV satire Death to Smoochy was one of the biggest financial flops of 2002. The film only grossed $8.3 million on a $50 million budget for Warner Bros, despite the presence of Robin Williams and Edward Norton in the leads, as disgraced host Rainbow Randolph and Smoochy the Rhino, respectively. Critics savaged the film, and co-star Jon Stewart has not stopped apologizing for it in the years since its release. The thing is, though, Death to Smoochy isn’t a bad movie. In fact, it’s kind of great, and we dig into this much-maligned satire on this week’s episode of WTF Happened to this Movie!
