“The studios didn’t invent Rotten Tomatoes, and most of them don’t like it,” says the filmmaker Paul Schrader. “But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.”
Atomic and Tavarita discuss their time at Nan Desu Kan and San Japan, the One Piece Live Action's explosive debut among the thick of the SAG/WGA strike, possible reasons Netflix has pushed the release of a live action anime so hard, and the scathing NY Mag article about the death grip Rotten Tomatoes has among studios as well as consumers.
