Hello and welcome to another week of the Banana Meter! For those not aware of how this works, let me explain it to you. First, our critics check out a film. Then, they rate it on our scale of 0-100%, we gather the percentage from all of your critics and that’s how we get our rating on the Banana Meter.
What is the Banana Meter scale, you ask?
When a film hits above 85% or higher from our critics, it means it hit Bonafide Bananas status.
When a film hits between 55-84% or higher from our critics, it means it hit Ripe status.
When the film hits under 55%, it means it hit Sour Status.
Hitting the Banana Meter today is
Moon Knight Episode Four
Here is what our Ripe Banana Critics are saying about the episode:
Austin Belzer
Banana Meter Rating: 100%
Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson bring the Uncharted and Tomb Raider vibes in the best episode of Moon Knight to date.
Debopriyaa Dutta
Banana Meter Rating: 90%
Episode 4 combines high-stakes archeological puzzle-solving, a layered romance, and the unearthing of secrets that lead to an even more bonkers mystery. The ending is in the vein of Benson and Moorhead’s directorial flair, raising more questions than answers while assuring a thrilling, eventful time. The horror elements of the show pop out best in episode 4, which is the most compelling entry in the series so far.
Matthew Fox
Banana Meter Rating: 70%
I’m torn here. Enjoying the performances and some of it is wildly creative. But it’s also really confusing at times.
Shaurya Chawla
Banana Meter Rating: 95%
While a couple moments drag ever so slightly during its opening minutes, Episode 4 of MOON KNIGHT is a knockout punch for the series, and one of the most unique detours the MCU has ever taken. The final 20 minutes are one hell of a trip.
Beatrice Copland
Banana Meter Rating: 85%
An absolute delight. Layla and Steven finally reach Ammits Tomb in an episode that ups the archeology and then ups the weird. The relationship between Steven and Marc remains adorable whilst there are plenty of tense elements throughout. More like this, please!

Banana Meter Rating: 95%
This episode takes the series to a new height. Brilliant direction and pacing which leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Also provides great emotional depth to the series with the revelations made with amazing performances from May Calamawy and Oscar Isaac. The episode also has sequences that are straight out of a horror film. The ending is mind-blowing and leaves you questioning everything you’ve watched till now.

Banana Meter Rating: 100%
A Test Dream-esque episode, with ZOMBIES! With no Moon Knight involved, directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead still made us care about its protagonists and delivered effective mind-splitting horror in the process.
Craig McKenzie
Banana Meter Rating: 80%
Another strong episode that delivers fun adventure based sequences while never losing sight of the engaging character dynamics
