Welcome back to the Tomato Tomato Podcast! We talk about movies and the way they're reviewed!
In a special bonus episode, Chris and Jenna discuss a handful of recent articles about whether or not critic scores affect a film. And along the way, they stumble upon a new format for these minisodes.
Were Pirates 5 and Baywatch doomed from the beginning, or did their RT scores play a factor? What films do depend on critic scores? What does this month mean for the rest of the summer movie season? Listen to find out.
