Top 10 Movies of the 2020s (So Far) + Movie Review: Hokum + Trailer Park: Super Troopers 3

In this episode of The Bobby Bones Show, Movie Mike delivers his personal top 10 movies of the 2020s so far, highlighting a mix of critical darlings, genre triumphs, and emotionally resonant films. He ranks Godzilla Minus One at number one for its powerful Japanese storytelling, emotional depth, and reimagining of the monster as a symbol of trauma and redemption. Other highlights include the visceral horror of Hocum, the groundbreaking animation of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and the deeply moving The Iron Claw. Mike also shares his top 10 worst movies, with War of the Worlds—filmed during the pandemic via Zoom—earning the dubious honor of worst movie of the decade due to its amateurish production and heavy-handed Amazon product placement. In the trailer park segment, he enthusiastically previews Super Troopers 3, praising its return to form and commitment to physical comedy, while reflecting on the cult legacy of the Broken Lizard troupe. The episode closes with listener shout-outs and a call to support cinema by watching films in theaters. Key takeaways include: 1) Horror is evolving beyond cheap scares to explore real emotional trauma; 2) The most impactful films often blend spectacle with deep personal storytelling; 3) Nostalgia-driven sequels can succeed if they stay true to their roots and commit to authentic comedy; 4) Audience connection and emotional resonance matter more than awards or box office alone; 5) Movies like Godzilla Minus One prove that international, character-driven films can dominate the decade; 6) The best comedies are self-aware and avoid punching down; 7) Streaming doesn’t replace the communal experience of theater-going; 8) A film’s legacy is shaped by how it makes audiences feel, not just how it performs.
