Tom Hanks Defends Films with Colorful Critique of Movie Critics
Tom Hanks humorously criticized movie critics on the "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast, calling them "cocksuckers" and arguing that time, rather than reviews, ultimately determines a film's success. He cited his 1996 film "That Thing You Do!" as an example, which was initially dismissed by critics but later became a cult classic. Hanks emphasized that a movie's lasting impact is more significant than its initial reception.
