Wong is Right With Mike on Movies

A Wong Shot Review - Backrooms (Spoilers)

In this Wong Shot, Wong gives his take on the eerie, unsettling world of Backrooms, the latest horror movie from director, and YouTube creator Kane Parsons. From its unnerving atmosphere and tense musical score to the suspense woven throughout the Backrooms themselves, Wong breaks down how Parsons crafts a terrifying and immersive world that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Tune in as Wong explores the film’s twists, deeper themes, and whether it lives up to the hype or gets lost in the maze.

EP. 36 - Side Effects

Wong and Mike dive into the psychological thriller Side Effects (2013), directed by Steven Soderbergh. What starts as a film about depression, medication and trust quickly unravels into something far more sinister. With sharp, clever twists and morally gray themes, they break down what makes this film so well written - from its grounded yet flawed characters, to Soderbergh’s tight direction - and why you’ll never look at a simple prescription the same way again.

EP. 35 - Constantine

In this episode, Wong and Mike dive straight into the chaotic, supernatural world of Francis Lawrence’s comic book adaptation, Constantine. They explore the cigarette-smoking, demon ass-kicking antihero portrayed by the always awesome Keanu Reeves. Wong and Mike discuss whether this is a great comic book movie released well before the Marvel craze, or just a poor attempt at adapting the popular comic Hellblazer. Grab your holy water and join them for a devilishly fun breakdown.

EP. 34 - The Old Guard

In this episode Mike’s sitting this one out – but don’t worry, Wong is joined by his good friend Jody for a deep (deeper than we thought) dive into The Old Guard. Wong and Jody break down the action, the themes of immortality, and what works (and doesn’t) in this Charlize Theron-led action flick. Same hot discussions, and of course the classic nitpicks - even when Mike’s not around.

EP. 33 - Weapons (Spoilers)

In this episode, Wong and Mike dive into the bone-chilling world of Weapons, the 2025 horror film that has been the talk of the summer. They unpack the story’s dark themes, twisted story, and tense cinematography, breaking down what works – and what doesn’t. The film’s exploration of depression, grief, and addiction is apparent throughout, making it an allegory for how we confront these struggles today. Did Weapons hit a bullseye and earn its hype – or is it a weapon you shouldn’t even bother firing.
