Come up first, we have Adam Curl's show 1890, Pamela Adlaw, Bobby Hill, Matt Hatchett, Gina Grad, Brian Bishop from 2016.
The game. Yes. The game is you have to guess what the critics' score was on Rotten Tomatoes. Okay. You can go above. You can go below. It doesn't matter. Well, I always look at – I love the thing on – when you look at Apple TV, is that the tomatoes? Yes. And then you look at – if you scroll down, the customer reviews. The audience score. Those are always right on point. Those are the things that I look at. They're completely my feeling.
So these are like the reviews, the written out reviews.
Yeah. Like the people are saying, I was looking for this everywhere. And, you know, but I mean, I like knowing what people think. But the customer reviews are my jam. Well, write down your score now.
Oh, I write.
That way we can base it off each other. Yes. OK. Yeah. Write your score down percentage wise. She's a piece of paper. No, she's got. OK. All right. So this is Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This movie was probably initially discarded a little bit as a teen titty movie, but there's a lot more to it and lots of laughs. Cameron Crowe wrote it. Yeah, very funny.
Based on his experience going undercover as a student at the school.
I am going to say the critics liked it a lot. I can't figure out how high it is. I'm going to give it 88.
I like where your head's at in terms of it being sort of like discarded initially. I think it probably was looked down upon as sort of this teen sex movie or whatever. But I think most, given the nature of Rotten Tomatoes, I think most of the reviews are recent after the fact. So I said 85.
Interesting. I'm right there with you guys. 84.
What game do the hosts play related to movie ratings?
I said 89. Wow. And I wrote it. Wow.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Certified Fresh at 78%. All right.
All right. I always say to people, what are you expecting out of a comedy here? You know what I mean? Yeah. What are you looking for?
Funny movie.
Yeah. Insightful. Yeah. All right. 78. There's Titty and Bush. Yeah. Next up. Are you reading the poster? All right.
Next movie in the game. 1986 film starring Rodney Dangerfield as a business magnate who decides to prove to his son that college is not that bad and he goes back to school.
This is one of those movies that there's no way I'm going to be able to figure this out because I love it so much from my childhood that I can't get a read on if everybody else loved it or if it was just me. I wish I liked Rodney Dangerfield. Everyone in the industry loves him. They look up to him. They always say he got everyone their start and everything. And I met him one time. He came on Loveline, the TV show, to do his movie Meet Wally Sparks, which I'm guessing would be rated a little bit lower than Back to School. And I did the move where I was going to go in like I do with all the guests and just say hi before the show. And then I always give them the speech of, you know, say whatever you want.
If the show is bad, it'll be my fault, but not your fault. So just go in and just chime in because it's a weird format. People are telling their problems are on the phone. They're in the audience. It's not a usual format. I want I want them to make sure they could feel comfortable giving. Some people don't feel comfortable giving advice. to, you know, teens on TV. So I was like, talk, say whatever you want.
