The time has come for us at the 'Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong' podcast family to say, "so long, farewell."

When this podcast premiered in September of 2020, we wanted to shed a light on some of the films that may have been maligned by critics at the time. We wanted to cover the movies that, after watching them, made us think, "That was awesome!" or "That was such a good movie!" only to see that said film had a Rotten rating on the Tomatometer.

Inspired by our book, Rotten Movies We Love, we set out to defend audience favorites and cult classics such as 'Sister Act 2,' 'Hocus Pocus,' and 'The Mummy.'

After four years of fighting the good fight, Mark and Jacqueline are joined by Producers Lucy Bruckner and Brian Perez, and Mr. "Two Minutes with Tim" himself, Tim Ryan, to look back at some of their favorite moments and guests over the years, talk about their favorite films we covered, and discuss which films we wish we had the chance to defend: 'Eddie and the Cruisers II,' anyone?

This podcast would not have been possible without the fans. We are so appreciative of the community we created and the support we received from you each and every week.

Thank you from everyone here at 'Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong,' and in case we don’t see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

Who am I?! Sho'nuff!

It's time to look back at the baddest showdown between Bruce Leeroy and Sho'nuff, and harness the power of "The Glow!"

That's right, we're revisiting the 1985 cult classic 'The Last Dragon' starring Taimak and Vanity to see if Rotten Tomatoes is wrong about its barely Fresh 61% Tomatometer score.

Screenwriter and podcaster Brandon Collins joins Mark and Jacqueline to break down the delightful insanity that is 'The Last Dragon.'

156: We're Wrong About... Son-in-Law (1993) with Justine Marino22 Nov 202300:49:35

It's time to munch on some grindage, buddies, and celebrate this delicious turkey holiday by looking back at when Carla Gugino brought home Pauly Shore for Thanksgiving in the 1993 comedy classic 'Son-in-Law!'

'Son-in-Law' is Pauly Shore's highest rated movie on the Tomatometer at 32%, but our panel fervently disagrees with its abysmal rating as they can't get enough of Shore's 'Crawl.'

Special guest and comedian Justine Marino joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss whether Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong about the cultural phenomenon that was Pauly Shore in 'Son-in-Law.'

What is your favorite Pauly Shore movie? Do you think 'Son-in-Law' deserves such a low rating? Or do you side more with the audience and its 59% rating?

155: We're Wrong About... Addams Family Values (1993) with Dorina Arellano09 Nov 202300:49:16

Now that spooky season has come and gone, we are gearing up for that wonderful holiday where we get to visit family, watch some football, and enjoy some delicious turkey!

The Barry Sonnenfeld-directed satire is currently Certified Fresh at 75% on the Tomatometer, but has a lower Audience Score rating at 63%.

Special guest Dorina Arellano joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss whether this comedy sequel is as good as, if not better than its predecessor, or if the macabre Addams Family should be left alone entirely.

Master filmmaker Ridley Scott has had some huge hits with 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' but he's also had some misses... 'The Counselor' anyone?

Today we are looking back at one of Scott's misses with the 1985 dark fantasy 'Legend' starring Tim Curry, Mia Sara, and a pre-'Top Gun' Tom Cruise.

153: We're Wrong About... The Craft (1996) with Akilah Hughes12 Oct 202300:48:12

Just in time for spooky season, we are looking back at the 1996 cult classic 'The Craft,' which is Rotten at 57% on the Tomatometer.

For some, this witchy film defined their whole high-school personality in the '90s. For others, 'The Craft' may have been overshadowed by the mega-hit horror film 'Scream' that starred similar actors and came out just months later.

Author and podcaster Akilah Hughes joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss whether or not Rotten Tomatoes is wrong about 'The Craft.'

Do you believe in witchcraft and the power of Manon? Does 'The Craft' deserve its legacy cult status? Let us know in the comments below!
