Everyone's a critic nowadays, especially the hosts of this podcast.
But when Rotten Tomatoes launched in 1998, it quickly became the recognized standard of cinematic good taste for a generation.
In today's conversation, we debate the accuracy of the fans vs. critics rating system on Rotten Tomatoes, the site's ownership by Comcast-Universal and Warner Bros, and whether or not Rotten Tomatoes is still relevant in a world where opinions are in abundance online.
We also go through a short list of highly and not-so highly regarded films to see where they fall on the ol' Tomatometer.
