    Deep Dive on Millennial Optimism Film Era + Movie Review: THE BRIDE! + Trailer Park: Scary Movie 6

    Movie Mike dives into the millennial optimism era which is being described on TikTok as a strangely comforting, slightly delusional time in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Mike shares what movies best represent this era from 500 Days of Summer to Easy A as he remembers a world of hipster aesthetics, early Instagram, and a belief that life would only improve, often contrasting with current, more cynical times.  Mike gives his mini review of Disney-Pixar’s Hoppers. In the Movie Review, Mike shares his thoughts on THE BRIDE! starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. It takes place in 1930s Chicago where a groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious brings a murdered young woman back to life to be a companion for Frankenstein's monster. Mike shares his thoughts on Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale’s amazing performances but ultimately why it felt like Maggie Gyllenhaal was holding back on the story she wanted to tell. In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down Scary Movie 6 and the long awaited return of the Wayans brothers. Can a raunch parody movie of this magnitude work in today’s climate?   It marks the return of Anna Faris and Regina Hall 26 years after the original film first hit screens.  New Episodes Every Monday!

In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Disclosure Day directed by Steven Spielberg where the question is: If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?
