Mike gave 'Project Hail Mary' his first five-out-of-five rating in two and a half years, calling it phenomenal.
The episode opens with Mike and Kelsey setting up their studio and joking about technical difficulties. They introduce the format: discussing the best and worst movies of March, a movie review, and a trailer park segment. Their best movie is unanimously 'Project Hail Mary,' which Mike gave his first five-out-of-five rating in over two years, citing its family-friendly appeal and emotional impact. Kelsey shares a second pick, 'Hoppers,' a Pixar film that made her feel like a kid again. For the worst, Mike describes 'Anniversary' as a dark, dystopian film that left him traumatized and with nightmares for days. Kelsey mentions 'Scream 7' as her personal worst. They briefly touch on other March viewings like 'It Was Just an Accident' and 'Undertone.' The conversation shifts to TV shows, with both praising 'Shrinking' for its balance of humor and emotion. Mike then delivers a spoiler-free review of 'Super Mario Galaxy,' highlighting Donald Glover's performance as Yoshi, the vibrant animation, and nostalgic fan service. He ranks his top five Super Mario games, with 'Super Mario World' at number one. In the trailer park segment, Mike discusses 'Dune: Part Three,' expressing his boredom with the franchise despite admiring Denis Villeneuve's visuals. He speculates on the plot and the box office battle with 'Avengers Doomsday.' The episode ends with a listener shout-out to Ken Starks, who commented on their 'Project Hail Mary' review.
