  Now we have four possible combinations:

  • Fresh and Hot (good critic score + good audience score)
  • Rotten and Hot (bad critic score + good audience score)
  • Fresh and Stale (good critic score + bad audience score)
  • Rotten and Stale (bad critic score + bad audience score)

  Fresh 'n hot, come and get it!

    This feels wrong - a tomato can't be both 'fresh' and 'stale' - they're the opposite of one another! If 'good audience score' is 'hot', then 'bad audience score' should be 'cold' surely.

      Good point there.

      I think it’s a reference to the symbols on the website - fresh tomatoes + hot popcorn, and rotten tomatoes + stale popcorn.

  Meh. Audience scores feel like a random number generator that’s insanely skewed depending on how crazy the fanbase is. Reminder that Venom 2 has an 84% audience score. That movie was total garbage.

    @simple @TheImpressiveX The #RottenTomatoes user score is mostly about how fun the movie is to watch, not how good it is
