The original hosts deviate from the list to talk about this new tomato that ISN'T a 0%, but needed to be discussed. It currently has a 13% critic rating on RT, so it's close enough. Paul Hogan stars as himself, a washed-up formerly successful comedic actor living in LA in his 80s, in this weird comedy that's streaming on Amazon.

It also features a cavalcade of guest appearances: Chevy Chase, John Cleese, Wayne Knight, Luke Hemsworth, Olivia Newton-John, Reginald VelJohnson, Shane Jacobson and with people like Jim Jefferies, Paul Fenech and Costas Mandylor showing up briefly.

Our main man John Travolta finds his way back onto the list, with 1993's "Look Who's Talking Now," the third in the Look trilogy, also starring fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley. In the first films, it was babies who talked. Now, it's dogs!

Basketballer Charles Barkley is also in this movie. Danny DeVito and Diane Keaton play the voices of some dogs. It's a... romantic comedy? About cheating on your wife and accidentally telling your kids that Santa isn't real.

In 1991, the sequel to 1986's modest hit Highlander was released. It was a disaster. The director walked out of the premiere and denounced it. He was later allowed to re-edit it for international audiences. The contention about the quality of this tomato continues in 2020 as our gang have their first real fight.
