Why do fans love some Rotten films and hate some Fresh ones? What did critics make of a cult classic before it earned its cult status? In this bi-weekly podcast, hosts Jacqueline Coley, Mark Ellis, and guests go deep and settle the score on some of the most beloved – and despised – movies and TV shows ever made, directly taking on the statement we hear from so many fans: “Rotten Tomatoes is wrong.”
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.

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?
Mark and Jacqueline are joined by journalist and p...

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.

The 1998 comedy blockbuster 'Rush Hour' is more than just a hilarious buddy-cop movie. It also happens to be the reason Rotten Tomatoes exists.

Twenty-five years later and here we are, taking a look back at the film that started...
