Kernels podcast episode 10: Is Rotten Tomatoes really killing movies?

A fortnightly deep dive into film and television

How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.

Batman v. Superman producer Brett Ratner has called Rotten Tomatoes 'the worst thing that we have in today’s movie culture'. An executive at an independent film distributor has branded this argument 'ridiculous', countering simply: 'F**k you, make a good movie!' In episode 10, Chris and his colleagues Jacob Stolworthy and Jack Shepherd examine how review aggregation is affecting film consumption and how the role of the film critic is changing.
