Unfinished Business Television takes a DEEP DIVE into the 1991 comedy The Super, starring Joe Pesci as a sleazy New York slumlord forced by the court to live in his own run-down building. Coming off massive hits like Lethal Weapon 2, Home Alone, and Goodfellas, Pesci was on fire—so what went wrong with The Super? We explore why this film fell short of expectations, how its tone and humor missed the mark, and what role the script and marketing played in its underwhelming box office. PLUS—we reveal which major actor was originally considered for the lead role before Pesci signed on.
