Rotten Potatoes

In this episode, the RP Boys review Chazelle's seminal hit, Whiplash. Tune in to find out if Jake gets angry enough at Scott to hurl a chair at his head.

Scott decides to ruin Jake's day with this will-they-won't-they millennial romcom. Spoiler alert: they won't.

The RP boys realize how difficult it is to do a plot summary about a movie that isn't done in linear fashion. Still a great episode though, and definitely a movie we should have already seen.

*Note: Due to a corrupted file, we lost the last ten minutes of this episode. Sorry, Tots!!* This is a first for the RP Boys: a true Western. Jake nominated his favorite movie for review, but we're not sure if the other guys really "got" this film.

The guys went against the critics on this Paul Thomas Anderson–Daniel Day Lewis triumph. Find out why Rotten Potatoes didn't love Tyler's nomination, and just know that this rating is "under protest"!

There are hardly any movies starring Tom Hanks that aren't exceptional. Scott recommended this one—yet another movie he watched 1,000 times in his underwear growing up—but will the guys agree about the Tom Hanks Rule on this film? Find out with us!

Will this "unlucky thirteen" episode stand up against the typically high ratings the guys give? Ok, the truth is, Jake nominated Napoleon Dynamite and Scott may never forgive him for it.

Do our Tots have the stomach for what is about to happen in this episode? We know one thing for sure: ol' Quint doesn't anymore.

The guys review Tyler's all-time favorite: the coming of age powerhouse Dead Poets Society. Will you seize the day and give it a listen?

The RP boys talk about the Kurt Russel/Val Kilmer dynamic duo in Tombstone. Don't worry...there's definitely still some time left to talk about Sam Elliot's mustache and caramel-y voice.

Scott recommends the Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum's tour de force, Independence Day. Did late bloomers, Zack and Jake, think it was a campy mess or a masterpiece? Spoiler: Tyler, who'd seen it plenty of times before thought it was both.

Covering what some would say is a "perfect movie" the guys may have some differences of opinion. This Fincher-Sorkin-Ross-Reznor power combo might have impressed the film buffs, but the blockbuster guys aren't so sure.

Late bloomer, Jake, may or may not like this nomination from Tyler. Scott and Zack had seen it before, but see what everyone thought about this dialouge-packed classic.

Jake nominates this shoot-em-up classic which none of the other guys had ever seen. Join the guys on a roller coaster of opinions, most of which involved this movie not aging well in terms of political correctness.

Jake has not seen one of the most classic movies of all time. The guys dissect Mel Gibson's Braveheart, and spend a good amount of time on the details, so make sure that you rewatch the movie during your COVID-19 quarantine before joining us for this episode!

At Zack's recommendation, the guys watch Wes Anderson's classic, The Life Aquatic. Tyler had seen this quirky gem before, but Jake and Scott were both our late bloomers; while we had some expectations where the ratings would fall, we were more than a little surprised with the result. Shoot us a tweet with the final count of how many times Tyler messed up the name of this film.

An all time classic, Scott nominates the seminal Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Even though Zack hadn't seen it since he was a kid, Jake was our late bloomer this episode and the two of them have some interesting reactions to this fan-favorite. Spoiler: Jake had yet to see any Indiana Jones movie except for Crystal Skull.

Tyler nominates one of the worst movies—and yet to him and Scott, one of the best. Michael Bay's Armageddon certainly garners a lot of controversy among critics, and even these Tater-Tots. Figure out why Armageddon only got a 70% on Rotten Potatoes.

Scott, Zack, Tyler, and Jake review one of the most classic coming-of-age stories of all time: (Rob Reiner and Stephen King's) Stand By Me. While Jake and Tyler had seen this one before, Jake nominates it for review because it is a classic for him growing up. Watch out for some hot takes from our late bloomers, Zack and Scott!

Zack, Jake, Scott, and Tyler introduce this new and outrageous podcast: the four of them calling each other out for not seeing movies that everybody should have already seen.
