Mike shares what he believes to be the Top Cult Classics that defined the 2000s. These are the movies that either confused audiences, got dumped by studios, or flat-out failed at the box office… but later became beloved cult classics through DVD, cable, streaming, memes, and word-of-mouth. Mike talks to Emile Hirsch who talks about his love of the video store as a kid, landing the role of Speed Racer, working with his heroes, getting an early start as a child actor and his roles in Lords of Dogtown and Into the Wild.  In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2. Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Mike shares why unfortunately it wasn’t better than part 1, Karl Urban’s lackluster performance and why it feels like an off brand Avengers Infinity War. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan. Odysseus, king of Ithaca, embarks on a perilous journey to return home after the Trojan War. Mike shares why he is now hype for the movie after he initially thought it was going to be a snooze fest.
