It's finally time to say, "Fair is fair!" Producer and Academy Award-nominated writer Emily V.

The 1998 comedy blockbuster 'Rush Hour' is more than just a hilarious buddy-cop movie. It also happens to be the reason Rotten Tomatoes exists.

Twenty-five years later and here we are, taking a look back at the film that started it all, the movie that helped build a website empire. Guest Winston A. Marshall joins Mark and Jacqueline in discussing why although 'Rush Hour' is technically a Fresh movie, with a 62% rating on the Tomatometer, Winston believes 'Rush Hour' to be a perfect film.
