Movies that are 'Verified Hot' by filmgoers will join those that are 'Certified Fresh' from critics, in a move meant to give more weight to consumer opinions, as the site also tweaks its review eligibility requirements.
This feels wrong - a tomato can't be both 'fresh' and 'stale' - they're the opposite of one another! If 'good audience score' is 'hot', then 'bad audience score' should be 'cold' surely.
Now we have four possible combinations:
Fresh 'n hot, come and get it!

Good point there.
I think it's a reference to the symbols on the website - fresh tomatoes + hot popcorn, and rotten tomatoes + stale popcorn.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks.
