The third part of our Box Office Bomb season of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at, what by some estimations, might be the biggest box office bomb of them all, 1999's, The 13th Warrior. A mess behind the scenes, this was a movie beset by huge delays, numerous reshoots and a major re-edit by producer, Michael Crichton that went a long way towards pushing the budget of well north of a 150 million dollars. With a budget as big as that, it was always likely that John McTiernan's dark historical epic would lose money.....but what of the movie itself? Has this cult classic aged like a fine wine? Does it deserve greater recognition? Did it survive the messy editing process? Listen in via your podcast platform of choice to find out.
