It's always nice to spend a night indoors popping popcorn and reviewing a scary movie. Do you like scary movies, POST-Marks? Well have we got just the film for you! On this edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, Nate Milton celebrates October by reviewing Dwayne Johnson’s scariest movie to date, Disney’s Race to Witch Mountain! Wait… There’s no witches in this movie? Not even one?? It’s about adolescent aliens??? Ok… Nate tries to counter this alien incursion with a “British invasion”! He welcomes ½ of The BDE, Davie Portman (upNXT) and UK film-industry veteran Daniel Perry into the theater to break down the race! So there’s no race, either? Then what the heck is this film about?!? Nate and his companions travel back to 2009 to talk about “Jack Bruno”, a weird time for live-action Disney films, and The Rock’s international appeal. To top it all off, they spend a much-needed moment with the “Man Called Sting”! All that & more on a scary-good installment of TRMPS! The Rocky Maivia Picture Show is a monthly movie review podcast that drops every 3rd Saturday on POST Wrestling!
