In this 300th episode spectacular, Mike takes a look at actors who've alienated everyone else on set including Jared Leto, Shia LaBeouf, Burt Reynolds, Lindsay Lohan, and Bill Murray. He shares the stories behind10 actors who were totally hated by the rest of their cast. In this week's Movie Review, Mike talks about Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere starring Jeremy Allen White. How it was not your traditional biopic it instead focuses squarely on the narrow window of time between 1981 and 1982 when Springsteen recorded his low-fi album Nebraska. Mike shares if the movie turned him into a Springsteen fan, the unexpected emotional punch of the movie, what it lacked and a big idea he wants to see from music biopics. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the new Netflix dramedy coming called Jay Kelly. George Clooney plays a famous movie star who goes on a European journey with his manager, played by Adam Sandler. Mike talks about how sad it is that some famous actors' best memories only exist in movies.
