The Film Thugs Movie Show

Film criticism is a complicated thing. Who is this person? Why does their opinion matter? Does there opinion matter? How do you approach a film as a viewer? How much context is necessary to truly understand a film? There are a lot of questions. But in the end, we are talking about one person giving an opinion on a film they have seen once, maybe twice. Yet for some reason we give this opinion weight. What happens when a critic gets it wrong? Not just from a difference of opinion standpoint, but from a not understanding the film/being on the wrong side of history standpoint? This week we have a look at some reviews that, we feel, got it wrong. Plus, we introduce a new game... so that's fun.
