Mike breaks down his current Top 10 Actor Power Rankings.  He uses a data-informed, culture-driven snapshot of who is truly running Hollywood right now.  Mike scores each performer across weighted categories: Hollywood Impact, Cultural Presence, Style Influence, Audience Appeal, Acting ability and Brand Momentum. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about They Will Kill You starring Zazie Beetz. It’s about a woman who answers a cryptic ad for a housekeeping job at a luxurious yet foreboding New York City high-rise. She then finds herself trying to save her sister from a crazy cult! Mike talks about how it’s one of the most original movies of the year, how it mixed video game and anime style action and why some people may have a problem with the subject material.  In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the live-action “Moana” with Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui. Did anyone ask for this or is this remake being overly hated?

Mike gave out his first 5 out of 5 in over 2 years on last week’s episode. He decides to share more movies he believes are perfect and reacts to a list from Reddit of perfect films with no bad parts. Mike doesn’t think these are the ‘greatest’ movies ever made but instead the ones where nothing feels out of place, have great rewatchability and each feel effortless to watch. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Ready or Not 2: Here I Come starring Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton. The movie picks up moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game and this time with her estranged sister Faith at her side. Mike talks about how underrated the first film was, if this one matched the intensity and why Samara Weaving as Grace is a new  horror movie icon. In the Trailer Park, Mike blind reacts to the Spider-Man Brand New Day trailer. It’s coming out in theaters on July 31st and is one of his most anticipated movies of the year.
