Summary
Mike talks to Zach Cregger, the director of Weapons. Zach talks about what it’s like to have a No. 1 movie, what celebrity he hopes watches his film and why comedians are good at horror. Zach and Mike also get into a debate about punk rock. Mike then shares his Top 5 Directors of the 2020s so far. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Him starring Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers. It’s about a rising quarterback who suffers a potentially career-ending injury after being attacked by an unhinged fan. Just when all seems lost, he receives a lifeline when his football hero offers to train him at an isolated compound. Mike talks about why he felt bamboozled, how it lacked a plot and why even though he didn’t fully love it that it could quite possibly be ahead of its time. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Sydney Sweeney stepping into the ring as boxing legend Christy Martin. She never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia until she discovered a knack for punching people. Mike shares Sydney Sweeney’s dedication to her character, the red flags from the trailer and what is the downfall of sports biopics.
