This week we review and discuss Michael, a biopic movie directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long and Colman Domingo, about the life of Michael Jackson from his beginnings in the Jackson Five to the Bad tour in 1988.We discuss to what extent it matters how much of a Michael Jackson fan someone is when watching the movie and what we got out of the movie, how that explains the massive split in audience versus reviewer scores the movie has received, whether the movie's storytelling holds up outside the concert scenes, what a Michael Jackson biopic should be and do and how this movie compares to that, the challenges and quirks of biopics in general, whether we think there will be a second movie covering the less glamorous parts of Jackson's life and whether there should be, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast0:00 Intro0:17 Movie Recommendations (The Negotiator (1998), The Adjustment Bureau (2011))09:16 Synopsis & Overall Impressions16:19 Spoiler Discussion01:02:35 Conclusion & Ratings
