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.

Horror Hidden Gem

Street Fighter Review

The Exorcist Martyrs Trailer Park

It is Scary Movie Season! Mike shares his essential horror movie watch guide of films you can watch at home. From horror classics like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre  to hidden gems like Late Night with the Devil.  In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Street Fighter. Based on the video game, the movie is set in 1993 and follows estranged martial artists Ryu and Ken Masters as they enter the World Warrior Tournament. What appears to be a standard martial arts battle royale is actually a front for a deadly conspiracy. Mike shares why even though it was dumb, it was enjoyable. The stand out performances, his top 5 actors turned wrestlers and what actor needs to stop being cast in nerdy projects. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Scarlett Johansson in the trailer for "The Exorcist: Martyrs”.  It’s about a determined rookie detective eager to establish herself confronts a horrifying darkness that challenges her deepest convictions and tests everything she thought she knew about right and wrong. Mike talks about how Scarlett Johansson is using her star power for good and why this feels like fresh blood in the legacy franchise.

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....
