Information
has gloss	(noun) a literary composition of poor quality that was written quickly to make money (to boil the pot) potboiler
has gloss	eng: Potboiler or pot-boiler is a term used to describe a poor quality novel, play, opera, or film, or other creative work that was created quickly to make money to pay for the creators daily expenses (thus the imagery of "boil the pot" , which means "to provide ones livelihood" ). Authors who create potboiler novels or screenplays are sometimes called hack writers. Novels deemed to be potboilers may also be called pulp fiction, and potboiler films may be called "popcorn movies" or, in film industry slang, "tentpoles" (large-budget films typically based on well-known characters or prior works, which, due to their immense popularity, support the studio economically, like tent poles hold up a tent).
