See this content in the original post

From the mid-1970s until his tragic death in 2014, Robin Williams was one of the most talented, recognizable and versatile stars in Hollywood. From comedies to dramas, kids films to horror flicks, his range was arguably unparalleled. And when he threw himself into a role, he held absolutely nothing back. While he has left us far, far too soon, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back at his incredible body of work and determine: what IS the Best Robin Williams Movie ever made? Films discussed include Mrs. Doubtfire, Flubber, The Birdcage, Hook, Good Will Hunting, One-Hour Photo, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Fisher King, Dead Poets Society, Fern Gully, Dead Poets Society, Death to Smoochy, Aladdin, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Popeye.

Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Andrea Guerrero, Curtis Creekmore, and Kate Racculia look back at the exceptional, inspiring catalog of the late, great Robin Williams.
