We're Wrong About... The Family Man (2000) with Tony Baker
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?

We're Wrong About... Son-in-Law (1993) with Justine Marino
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?

We're Wrong About... Addams Family Values (1993) with Dorina Arellano
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.'

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.

We're Wrong About... The Craft (1996) with Akilah Hughes
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!

pretty good
please do prince of thieves
Wonderful podcast
I’m so glad I discovered this podcast. I’m a huge movie fan and am always upset when critics don’t like the movies I enjoy(which seems to happen sometimes). I was shocked to see that the movie Hook was given only a 22% on the tomatometer. Every time I see this movie it makes me feel nostalgic if my childhood. Would love to hear your opinions in a future episode.
Great Podcast!
Longtime listener, first time commenter. Mark Ellis is awesome! My favorite episodes by far are the ones with The Whirl Girls! Their episodes are the best and I always look forward to each episode they are on!
