I currently have this left join as part of a query:
LEFT JOIN movies t3 ON t1.movie_id = t3.movie_id AND t3.popularity = 0
The trouble is that
Try this:
LEFT JOIN ( SELECT t3.movie_name, t3.popularity FROM movies t3 WHERE t3.popularity = 0 LIMIT 1 ) XX ON t1.movie_id = XX.movie_id AND XX.popularity = 0
