Summary

Mike shares actors who took home million dollar paydays despite being on screen for a little amount of time. Some actors earned a million dollars for each minute they appeared on screen! While others were paid for movies that were never even released or that they ended up being cut from. It’s wild! In the Movie Review, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. Does it do a good job setting up the next phase of the MCU, what was lacking in the story and who stole the show. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2 starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage who is an actor forced into the role of champion of Earth in a universal fighting tournament to the death. Mike talks about his history with the video game, why this movie seems to lean more into the fun and violence but questions why all movies like this are starting to look the same?
