166: Series Finale

Episode 166

Thursday, April 11, 2024 • Duration 01:08:31

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!

With Matthew Vaughn's next movie 'Argylle' heading to theaters this weekend, we decided to look back at Vaughn's lowest-rated entry in the 'Kingsman' franchise, the 2021 prequel, 'The King's Man.'

Were audience's reactions to 'The King's Man' negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and constant release date changes? Or was this prequel unnecessary to the overall series?

Episode 160

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 52:24

Is Michael Bay one of the greatest action film directors of all time? His $7 billion+ box office take says 'possibly,' but his average Rotten Tomatoes score might say otherwise.

On today's show, we're looking back at one of Bay's more 'serious' films, the historical action-war drama '13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,' which is Rotten at 51% on the Tomatometer, but is a hit with fans, given its 82% Audience Score.

Mark and Jacqueline are joined by actress and on-air host Candice Cruz to discuss whether Rotten Tomatoes is wrong about '13 Hours!'

What is your favorite Michael Bay movie? Is it a 'Transformers' movie? Do you feel Bay is reviewed harshly by critics or are you not a fan?

Episode 159

Thursday, January 4, 2024 • Duration 53:01

Happy New Year from everyone here at Rotten Tomatoes!

What better way to start off 2024 than to revisit the aptly-titled Garry Marshall-directed "New Year's Eve" from 2011?

The star-studded romantic comedy has a paltry 7% Rotten rating on the Tomatometer, although fans seem to love it a bit more, given its 45% Audience Score.

With multiple Oscar-winners leading this cast, how could this movie have gotten such negative reviews? Where did this movie go wrong?!

Actress and podcaster Roxy Striar joins Mark and Jacqueline to answer all these questions and more, all on today's show!

Episode 158

Thursday, December 21, 2023 • Duration 49:49

It's finally time to say, "Fair is fair!"

Producer and Academy Award-nominated writer Emily V. Gordon joins Mark and Jacqueline on today's show and brings in one of her all-time favorite films, the 1985 classic 'The Legend of Billie Jean,' to defend its honor against its wretched 39% Rotten rating on the Tomatometer.

Set in Jacqueline's hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, the film follows Helen Slater's Billie Jean as she fights wealthy bullies, saves abused children, and becomes an icon for the ages.

Have you seen 'The Legend of Billie Jean?' Do you side more with its 75% Audience Score? Or is it a film best left to 1985?

What is Christmas time without a little schmaltz? On today's show, we dive deep into what the critics called a "very schmaltzy" Christmas classic, 'The Family Man.'

Actor and comedian Tony Baker joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss whether Rotten Tomatoes is wrong about 'The Family Man' and also get into some of their personal favorite holiday classics.
