Ah, the old movie review podcast trick… POST-Marks, get ready for the most controversial episode of TRMPS to date! On this edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, Nate Milton continues his aural excursion through Dwayne Johnson’s filmography by reviewing, 2008’s Get Smart! Nate is joined by prolific podcaster & pop-culture savant, Jennifer Smith (Place To Be Nation, The Jenny Position)! Jenny starts the show off with a bang by expressing her disdain for Dwayne Johnson as an actor. That leads to a larger conversation about fame, self-esteem, & (finally) “Get Smart”. Does the 2008 film do the original 60’s TV series justice? Was this really just a backdoor attempt to launch a “Michael Scarn” franchise? Is Jenny on-target with her assessment of The Rock’s acting prowess… or has she “missed it by that much”? Find out all the answers on an explosive edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show!
