Rotten Tomatoes Is Wrong (A Podcast from Rotten Tomatoes)

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.' This sappy film starring Nicolas Cage and Téa Leoni is currently Rotten at 54% on the Tomatometer, but it has a fresh 67% Audience Score. 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. How do you feel about 'The Family Man' from 2000? Is it overly sentimental? Or is it an underrated Nicolas Cage gem?

It's time to munch on some grindage, buddies, and celebrate this delicious turkey holiday by looking back at when Carla Gugino brought home Pauly Shore for Thanksgiving in the 1993 comedy classic 'Son-in-Law!' 'Son-in-Law' is Pauly Shore's highest rated movie on the Tomatometer at 32%, but our panel fervently disagrees with its abysmal rating as they can't get enough of Shore's 'Crawl.' Special guest and comedian Justine Marino joins Mark and Jacqueline to discuss whether Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong about the cultural phenomenon that was Pauly Shore in 'Son-in-Law.' What is your favorite Pauly Shore movie? Do you think 'Son-in-Law' deserves such a low rating? Or do you side more with the audience and its 59% rating?

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!
