History
editMiranda Bailey, who produced the films The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Swiss Army Man, and Rebecca Odes founded the site in 2018, which was announced at South by Southwest.[1][2] It was inspired by the male perspective in film being dominant over its equal number of female critics.[3] Unlike Rotten Tomatoes' option of Fresh or Rotten approval rating, the CherryPicks uses a four level rating system including bowl of cherries, two cherries, one cherry, and the pits.[4]
