MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE POD - Best and Worst Movies of May + Movie Review: Backrooms + Trailer Park: Focker-in-Law

May was a month of extremes for Movie Mike and Kelsey, marked by a chaotic move that felt like '28 Days Later' and a surprisingly strong film lineup. The biggest surprise was 'Obsession,' a low-budget horror film that became a cultural phenomenon through word-of-mouth, grossing $50–60 million despite a budget under $1 million. Mike calls it the best movie of the month, praising its psychological depth and the intense discussion it sparked—something he says modern blockbusters fail to generate. In contrast, 'The Mandalorian' movie was a disaster: boring, underdeveloped, and lacking action, with Grogu reduced to a 'minion-like' sidekick. The worst of the month, however, was 'Mortal Kombat 2,' which felt like a rushed Avengers-style film without the quality or commitment to its R-rating. Despite the chaos, the couple found solace in unexpected gems like 'The Sheep Detectives,' a heartfelt family film about grief and resilience, and 'Backrooms,' a 20-year-old director's eerie, slow-burn horror debut that, while not perfect, created a deeply immersive world that lingered long after the credits. The episode ends with a nostalgic look at the 'Meet the Fockers' franchise, questioning whether Ben Stiller is the most underrated comedic actor of his generation and celebrating Ariana Grande's return to acting with her role as an FBI negotiator in the upcoming 'Focker-in-Law.
