This week, Zak and Aaron take a moment to discuss an online conflict that rears its ugly head with disappointing regularity — the divide between critic and audience review scores when it comes to games and movies. Specifically, our intrepid hosts delve into the cacophonous world of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is earning rapturous praise from casual viewers and drawing ample derision from critics. 

With such a disparity of opinions on display, who are you supposed to trust? And what is the role of a critic in the modern media landscape, anyway?

Please, enjoy.
