Top 5 Movie Events

Other Mommy Review

Cliff Booth Trailer Park

What movies made you feel like the entire world was watching at the same time? Movie Mike breaks down the biggest movie-theater events of his lifetime. From the emotional ending of Toy Story 3 and the Pokémon generation taking over theaters to the multigenerational nostalgia of Spider-Man: No Way Home. These weren't just movies, they were moments when going to the theater felt like being part of something bigger. In the Movie Review, Mike gives his thoughts on Jessica Chastain in Other Mommy. It’s about a young girl named Bela who is dealing with her parents’ marital problems when she starts seeing a creepy entity coming out of her closet. She calls it “Other Mommy,” but what starts as an imaginary friend quickly turns sinister and puts Bela and her whole family in danger. Mike shared why he was so excited to see this movie because of the trailer but why it unexpectedly let him down. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth" starring Brad Pitt. It’s about what Cliff Booth has been up to since thwarting the Manson Family in "Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood?" Brad Pitt returns as the Hollywood stuntman and Mike talks about why he is oddly underwhelmed by the trailer....
