A critic's guide to the year's most cringe-worthy watches
"Yeah, this is a list I've made for a couple of years now, and it's getting harder and harder to make this list not because things are getting better, but because when you make a list like this, you want it to be something that everyone's seen, so that when you talk about it, everyone goes, oh, yes, that was bad."
"PARKS: Well, so without further ado, let's start with film. My understanding is that our first movie involves something involving a sex cardigan, but I do not know what we're talking about here. ROBINSON: Oh, exciting. How delightful that I get to introduce you to the concept of the sex cardigan. This is "Wicked: For Good," a movie that definitely a ton of people saw of all ages and based, of course, on the very popular stage play."
A yearly list catalogs the most notable flops across film and television and notes increasing difficulty in making such lists because audiences no longer converge on the same titles. The list aims to highlight widely seen failures so that many people will recognize and recall the disappointment. One example centers on "Wicked: For Good," described with the memorable image of a "sex cardigan" and framed as a film widely viewed across ages but tied to high expectations from a beloved stage play. The phenomenon connects creative missteps with shifting viewing patterns and fan reactions.
