Part 2/13:
The conversation begins with a humorous yet pointed analysis of a fabricated Rotten Tomatoes scale, which the speakers claim aligns more closely with real-world perceptions than the official metrics. They list various scores for different movies, highlighting wide discrepancies—for example, movies with critic scores of 59% and audience scores of 95%, or critic ratings of 18% juxtaposed with audiences at 27%—labeling them as "undeniably garbage" or "great," depending on subjective interpretations.
This mock scale underscores the inconsistency in how critics and audiences evaluate movies, raising questions about the validity of the scores and whether they truly reflect quality or merely serve as popularity contests.
