Mike talks to Robert Englund who is best known for playing Freddy Kruger in A Nightmare on Elm Street. He reveals his secret to getting into character, what music he listened to while sitting in 4 hour of makeup prep and how his athletic background prepared him for the role. Mike also talks to two directors from the franchise: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge director Jack Sholder and Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare director Rachel Talalay about the behind the scenes of each film! In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne Johnson. He plays MMA fighter Mark Kerr as he reaches the peak of his career but faces personal hardships along the way with addiction. Mike talks about why the movie failed, why he hopes it doesn’t stop the Rock from taking risks and what shot it has at Oscar nominations. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Disney’s Zootopia 2. Detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back and find themselves on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who turns the mammal metropolis of Zootopia upside down. Mike shares how Zootopia 1 changed him and how the message of the sequel might be something we all need right now.
