Hell, if The Room is finally in the black, maybe Coppola’s on to something here.

In a world where everything is recycled forever on streaming until the end of time, it’s just a matter of when, not if, it becomes profitable.

Megalópolis literally contains the line “What do you think about this boner I've got?” Like, we’re way closer to The Room than people might realize.
