Top 5 Movies of 2026

Nimrods Trailer Park

We are now halfway through the year and Mike defines his Top 10 movies of 2026 so far. He shares what made these movies stand out, where you can watch them and what is left that’s coming out that has the ability to make the list. In the Movie Review,  Mike talks about Moana starring the Rock. It’s Disney's live-action version of the animated movie we've all known and love. Moana answers the Ocean's call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her home island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui. Mike shares why he was reluctant to see it but ultimately what this live action remake is actually a good thing! In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about  Nimrods which is a movie based on the early, real-life touring adventures of the punk rock band Green Day. Mike shares the mid-budget music movies it reminds him of and why we don’t get movies like this anymore.
