Ep. 421: The Flop Era -- "Ishtar" (1987)

Dirty Sons of Pitches

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" might have finally met their match when it comes to the closer of their Flop Era series, examining the most notorious flops and fiascos in film history. This week it's the dud that became infamous and recognizeable just by name alone -- it's 1987's "Ishtar"! How bad can a movie be starring Waren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman as bad lounge singers stumbling through the desert be? The answer is unfathomably bad, especially if you're like the guys and find every second of the bad singing to be painful. It;s time to bid goodbye to this series, which might be the worst idea these guys have ever had, and they watched "A Serbian Film" on purpose.
