    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 producer Simon Thompson to discuss whether Rotten Tomatoes is wrong about 'The King's Man,' which is Rotten at 40% on the Tomatometer.

    160: We're Wrong About... 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) with Candice Cruz

    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?

    159: We're Wrong About... New Year's Eve (2011) with Roxy Striar

    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.

    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.

    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!

    What better way to celebrate than to revisit Christina Ricci's famous Thanksgiving speech in the comedy classic 'Addams Family Values.'

    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.

    'Legend' is currently Rotten at 42% on the Tomatometer but it has developed a cult following over the years and has a 73% Audience Score.

    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!

    151: We're Wrong About... Rush Hour (1998) with Winston A. Marshall

    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. 'Rush Hour' was Jackie Chan's first big American movie and Senh Duong, founder of Rotten Tomatoes, decided to build a website that aggregated reviews of Chan's previous films for American audiences.

    Twenty-five years later and here we are, taking a look back at the film that started it all, the movie that helped build a website empire.

    Guest Winston A. Marshall joins Mark and Jacqueline in discussing why although 'Rush Hour' is technically a Fresh movie, with a 62% rating on the Tomatometer, Winston believes 'Rush Hour' to be a perfect film.

    Do you agree with 'Rush Hour's' Fresh rating? Let us know in the comments below.
