What Will Michael 2 Be About?

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of creating a movie about Michael Jackson's later life amidst controversy.

It would be fair to say that the King of Pop Michael Jackson was a controversial figure. But did you know that in the 2026 movie Michael literally none of it is addressed because the movie ends in the late 80s? Did you also know that the movie ends with a sequel tease? How will they do that? How could they possibly make a movie about the second half of Michael Jackson's life? Don't they know what he did???? Is it possible to make a Michael Jackson movie with a gigantic lawsuit sized hole in it?????? Well thank god the BS boys are here to answer that question in what might be their most dangerous episode yet. Listen to it whilst you still can.
