Robin Williams’ Popeye: A Troubled Production Turned Hidden Gem

You know, when Popeye came out in 1980, everyone seemed to hate it. Critics really weren’t kind! But honestly, over the years, I’ve noticed more people starting to appreciate it. Just recently, The Hollywood Reporter did a fantastic deep dive into the movie’s story, and they actually called it a hidden gem – even pointing out that filmmakers like Paul Thomas Anderson are fans. It’s cool to see a film’s reputation change like that.
