The Unverifieds, to honor the spirit of online populism during GameStop week, discuss the issues behind some of the biggest critics vs. audience score discrepancies on Rotten Tomatoes (e.g. The Last Jedi, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Dave Chapelle's Sticks & Stones). What is the purpose of the modern movie critic, to be an elitist of artistry or an elitist of morality? Also covered: how identity politics will be used to divide the GameStop movement, the casting controversy over Raya and the Last Dragon, and Biden's supremely almighty executive action tut-tutting violence against Asian Americans.
