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.

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.Do you agree with 'Rush Hour's' Fresh rating?
