Spoilers:
If this episode doesn’t get us cancelled, nothing will. The boys try a less structured episode to rant about their laundry list of issues with Rotten Tomatoes and how it’s used. They try to focus on Rotten Tomatoes specifically, but partially end up discussing critics on the whole that feed the RT scores. The discussion gets derailed several times, Dustin reviews some good movies that are rotten and bad movies that are fresh, Jake explains Dave Chappelle’s special “The Closer” and why the outrage is dumb, and both share quite a few other unpopular opinions.
Let us know what you like and don’t like about Rotten Tomatoes by commenting or direct messaging on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Or better yet, call in and leave a 60 second voice message and we’ll play it in a future episode!
