About this episode

Mike and Kelsey discuss the best and worst movies of May, review 'Backrooms', and preview 'Focker-In-Law'.

Mike and Kelsey are back for another edition of the Best and Worst movies of the month. They share their picks for June from The Sheep Detectives to Obsession. They also talk about why the month of May was Chaotic for them. Plus, talk about their recent move and if they had to title it the name of a movie…what would it be? In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Backrooms.  It’s about a grieving therapist, Dr. Mary Kline, who ventures into a terrifying, labyrinthine alternate dimension after her patient, Clark, mysteriously disappears into it. He shares the origin of the ‘creepy pasta’, the original YouTube video, 20 year old director Kane making history and why he’s excited for a sequel more than this original. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Focker-In-Law starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Ariana Grande. He shares why he thinks Ben Stiller is the most underrated comedy star and why he has always thought of Ariana Grande as an actor.  New Episodes Every Monday!
