Summary
Mike shares his favorite ‘mid’ movies that he thinks would fail today. He chooses movies that are nostalgic, cult classics but didn’t perform well at the box office and found success with physical media sales and rentals. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson. It’s a sci-fi comedy about an "expendable" who goes on a dangerous journey to colonize an ice planet directed by Bong Joon-ho who also did Parasite. Mike talks about how underrated Robert Pattison is as a character actor, how the movie was no. 1 but still has a long way to go to make money and where it ranks on his Top 5 Bong Joon-ho movies. In the Trailer Park, Mike shares his thoughts on Death of a Unicorn starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega. They play a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car, and his boss tries to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties.
