Is Tom Cruise In Hollywood’s Biggest Ever Flop?
About this episode
Has Tom Cruise just starred in the biggest Hollywood bomb of all time? Can Taylor Swift continue making great pop music? Why did Richard once get offered a glass of milk by TV's king of trash? Tom Cruise & Alejandro Iñárritu's new movie Digger took a pitiful $8m domestically on its opening weekend - making it one of Hollywood's biggest failures. What went wrong? Who is to blame? And can anything be salvaged? Richard Osman and Marina Hyde have the answers. Taylor Swift won't go quietly. In a critically divisive move, the pop superstar has released four more songs to her 'Life Of A Showgirl' project. Is it tough to continue making hit after hit when you've penned over 300 songs? Richard has been busy filming a new game show in Belgium. What are the economics of batch producing in Europe — and why are the Dutch so good at telly?
