Episode Summary:

FadCast Ep. 134 | Attack Of The Killer Rotten Tomatoes!

This week on the FadCast, Eric joins us as we ready our semi-composted produce to be hurled as we cast a critical eye towards Movie Review Aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. We discuss some of their history of ownership, their accuracy, their effect on the audience, and how they MIGHT impact the thought process of networks and studios. But first, we learn the source of a critics scorn with a scene read from the animated television series “The Critic.”

Before that, we briefly talk Lesser Known Comic Book Characters That Could Have A Big Movie Presence, New ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Posters Set The Laid Back Tone Of The Film and First Look At Alicia Vikander As Tomb Raider Lara Croft Is Spot On for our SPEED ROUND!

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
