Joe Rogan says DOGE should look into how box office bomb Snow White cost $250M

Podcaster Joe Rogan and comedian Kurt Metzger roasted Disney’s new adaptation of “Snow White” as it flounders in theaters.Since it began production in 2022, Disney’s live-action remake of “Snow White” has made headlines due to multiple controversies, including a year-long delay, a debate over how to portray the original fairytale’s “seven dwarfs” after scathing commentary from actor Peter Dinklage and an outspoken lead actress who prompted backlash with her public mockery of the original Disney film and later of supporters of President Donald Trump.Metzger argued that as much as lead actress Rachel Zegler may have been a bad pick for the film, its failure cannot be blamed entirely on her.“If you notice the spin on it, they’re putting it all on her.I mean, I’m sure she sucks, but she is very young.

They spent $250 million bucks making that movie?” “Imagine you spent $250 million, and you get some young girl, and you don’t kind of talk to her about like, ‘Hey, you k...
