YO WHAT IS UP AND WE ARE BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE MOVIE NEWBIE!
How's everyone been? Good? Not so good? Regardless, we're back to give you some more laughs and love :)
On this episode we discuss the (in)famous film rating site, Rotten Tomatoes and how it's "The most overrated metric in movies is erratic, reductive, and easily hacked — and yet has Hollywood in its grip" (Lane Brown & Luke Winkie, Vulture).
As usual we also chat about the things we've been watching recently and our upcoming theme, French New Wave from our resident Frenchman, Actor and human golden retriever, Raph.
He's prepared some classics.
French New Wave:
- À bout de souffle (Breathless) - Jean-Luc Goddard
- Cléo de 5 à 7 (Cleo From 5 to 7) - Agnès Varda
- Jules et Jim (Jules and Jim) - François Truffaut

RAPHAEL LECAT is an actor; some would say thespian, some would say clown; others would say human golden retriever (and by some, he means himself...) Raphael was born in France to French parents but quickly became a third-culture kid after his family moved to Singapore. This is where he discovered his passion for theatre and decided to make it his mission in life to be a vessel for stories old and new through the craft of acting.
