Michael Review

Street Fighter Trailer Park

Mike talks about actors who had very different careers before making it in Hollywood. From doctors to firefighters, footballers to lawyers, these are the unexpected paths that led some of the biggest stars to fame. Mike talks to They Will Kill You’s director Kirill Sokolov about why he quit his dream to be scientist to direct movies, scenes that came to him in a dream and how much prep goes into a day of shooting with real FIRE. He then talks to the movie’s producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti who are siblings.  They are known for directing and producing horror hits like Mama, IT: Chapter One, IT: Chapter Two, and the series IT: Welcome to Derry. Mike talks to them about what a producer of a movie actually does, the hardest things to get cleared by the studio and if a boldly original film originally is seen as a risk. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Michael. It’s the story of  Michael Jackson from his early days in the Jackson 5 to becoming the biggest entertainer in the world. Michael Jackson is played by his nephew, Jaafar Jackson. Mike talks about where it ranks on the music biopics so far of the decade, Jaafar Jackson’s performance and the controversy surrounding what the movie left out. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Street Fighter. Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu and Ken  are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament. Mike talks about his love for the arcade game and why this is both good and bad news for video game movies.
