Robin Williams and Edward Norton in Death to Smoochy

Despite Death to Smoochy flopping at the box office and critics tearing it apart, we're here to give this film the love it deserves.

We dive into Danny DeVito's darkly absurd comedy and explore why it actually holds up better than some people remember and became a cult classic. From Robin Williams' unhinged Rainbow Randolph to Ed Norton's squeaky-clean Smoochy the Rhino, there's a lot to appreciate in this twisted tale of children's TV gone corporate and corrupt.

We talk performances, DeVito’s sharp direction, and why they both think this film deserves a second chance.
