About this episode

Mike discusses his Top 10 Actor Power Rankings, reviews the movie 'They Will Kill You', and talks about the live-action remake of 'Moana'.

Mike breaks down his current Top 10 Actor Power Rankings.  He uses a data-informed, culture-driven snapshot of who is truly running Hollywood right now.  Mike scores each performer across weighted categories: Hollywood Impact, Cultural Presence, Style Influence, Audience Appeal, Acting ability and Brand Momentum. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about They Will Kill You starring Zazie Beetz. It’s about a woman who answers a cryptic ad for a housekeeping job at a luxurious yet foreboding New York City high-rise. She then finds herself trying to save her sister from a crazy cult! Mike talks about how it’s one of the most original movies of the year, how it mixed video game and anime style action and why some people may have a problem with the subject material.  In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the live-action “Moana” with Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui. Did anyone ask for this or is this remake being overly hated?  New Episodes Every Monday!
