    We're Wrong About... The King's Man (2021) with Simon Thompson

    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.

    Are you a fan of the 'Kingsman' franchise? Do you enjoy Matthew Vaughn's stylistic action thrillers? Let us know in the comments section!

    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?

    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.

    With multiple Oscar-winners leading this cast, how could this movie have gotten such negative reviews? Where did this movie go wrong?!

    Actress and podcaster Roxy Striar joins Mark and Jacqueline to answer all these questions and more, all on today's show!

    If you'd like to give your thoughts on this movie or have another movie you feel like Rotten Tomatoes got wrong, email us at RTisWrong@RottenTomatoes.com.

I LOVE THIS SHOW

This show is SOOO good. I love the chemistry between the hosts and the movie discussions and opinions are spot-on! Please do Thor: Ragnarok, and discuss the Best Animated Features Oscar winners.

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 am a big fan of Eddie Murphy movies. One of my favorite growing up and still to this day is The Golden Child. Not sure if you have reviewed it yet, but would absolutely love to hear you guys do an episode on this great 80’s movie.
