Summary
Everyone seems to be afraid of long movies today but Mike shares why you shouldn’t! He counts down his Top 10 Great Movies That Are Shockingly Long but make three (or even four) hours fly by. From The Wolf of Wall Street and Interstellar to Avengers: Endgame and Heat, Mike breaks down why these movies earned every minute of screen time and why people shouldn’t dread a long film. In the Movie Review, Mike shares his thoughts on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey starring Matt Damon and Tom Holland. Did it feel too long, the actor who gave the most surprising performance and where does it rank on his Top 5 Nolan movies? In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Tom Cruise looking crazy in Digger. The film follows the most powerful CEO in the world who must save the world from a disaster that he created. Will Tom Cruise finally win his first Oscar for the role?
