About this episode
In the third episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1994, we’re talking about the year’s biggest box-office flop, director Rob Reiner’s much-maligned North . Written by Alan Zweibel (based on his novel) and starring Elijah Wood, Bruce Willis, Jon Lovitz, Matthew McCurley and an all-star lineup of unfortunate supporting players, North grossed $7 million on a budget of $40 million and was nominated for six Razzies. The contemporary reviews quoted in this episode come from Roger Ebert ( https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/north-1994 ), Mick LaSalle in the San Francisco Chronicle ( https://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/Rob-Reiner-s-North-Is-Distastefully-Bad-3049784.php ) and Rita Kempley in the Washington Post ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/northpgkempley_a0a479.htm ).
