It's an Off Mike Discussions episode - this week, Mike Smith is talking new releases like ELVIS, CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH, and BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO THE UNIVERSE, while Mike DeCriscio has got thoughts on the STRANGER THINGS finale, the History Channel series ALONE, and Joseph Kosinski's SPIDERHEAD! We also talk OBI-WAN KENOBI, MS. MARVEL, OBLIVION,  INLAND EMPIRE, RIVER'S EDGE, and more! 

This week, it's Mike Smith's birthday, meaning it's time to enact the Birthday Bylaw and make Mike DeCriscio watch something! And this year, he chose a recent obsession that he knew he had to make Mike D see - the massive Indian blockbuster known as RRR!

Mike Smith is off this week so Mike D is joined by friend of the show Producer Collin! He makes Mike watch 2019's SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. We also discuss Sonic 2 even though Mike D ran out of time to watch it before recording, it's totally fine, don't tell Mike Smith.

This week the Mikes decide to rank their top 5 movies about fictional bands in "honor" of the new Baz Luhrmann film ELVIS.

This week, Mike and Mike are talking a bunch of stuff they've been watching lately - including the absolute insanity that is RRR, the new season of STRANGER THINGS, our hopefully optimistic take on OBI-WAN KENOBI, the new Cronenberg joint CRIMES OF THE FUTURE, Shudder's THE SPINE OF NIGHT, Alex Garland's MEN, and a lot more! Plus, Mike D recounts his experience watching TOP GUN: MAVERICK in ScreenX!

This week, Mike and Mike are on the highway to the DANGER ZONE - because it's time to talk TOP GUN: MAVERICK! Does this need to be seen on the big screen? Will Tom Cruise save movie theaters singlehandedly? Will we ever get a legacy sequel to COCKTAIL? The answers to all these and more lie inside!

This week, a listener who donated to the podcast suggested that we discuss the Joel Schumacher BATMAN movies... so that's exactly what we're doing! Mike and Mike revisit 1995's BATMAN FOREVER and 1997 BATMAN & ROBIN - do these movies hold up better than we remember as relics of a pre-superhero movie boom era? Is Val Kilmer actually a pretty good Batman? Could we ever possibly get sick of Mr. Freeze's ice puns? The answers to all this and more are within! 

This week, it's an Off Mike Discussions episode - Mike DeCriscio has finished TOKYO VICE and started OUTER RANGE; Mike Smith dragged himself to the theater to see FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE; the Mikes talk everything from WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR to PETITE MAMAN to THE SADNESS to a '70s Paranoia Triple Feature!

This week, Mike and Mike dissect the latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. Is it more of a Sam Raimi film than it is a Marvel film? Did the cameos delight us or annoy us? Are people being a little ridiculous about the horror elements? And why, despite liking the movie, does Mike DeCriscio feel like it could signal the end of his devotion to the MCU? The answers to all this and more await you inside the Multiverse of Madness!

This week, Mike Emmons - programming coordinator for The Roxy Theater, the indie theater near Mike Smith's house in Missoula, Montana - returns to the podcast to tell us what's going on at The Roxy this month! New titles include MEN, PETITE MAMAN, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, THE NORTHMAN, DOWNTOWN ABBEY: A NEW AGE and more - plus the theater is kicking off a Bong Joon-Ho series with titles like THE HOST and PARASITE, and other classics like CON AIR, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, PRIDE & PREJUDICE, REDLINE and more will all be represented! Here's our rundown of just about everything playing at The Roxy for the month of May.
