Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down Antoine Fuqua\u2019s 2026 biographical drama chronicling the rise of Michael Jackson, from his childhood with the Jackson 5 to the global success of the Bad World Tour. They discuss Jaafar Jackson\u2019s acclaimed performance, the film\u2019s recreation of some of Michael\u2019s most iconic musical moments, and how the movie captures the King of Pop\u2019s evolution into one of the biggest entertainers in history. They also examine the film\u2019s lengthy production, script rewrites, reshoots, and the decision to end the story before the controversies that defined Jackson\u2019s later years. With critics divided but audiences turning the film into the highest-grossing music biopic ever made, does Michael succeed as a celebration of an extraordinary career, or does its sanitized approach keep it from becoming the definitive Michael Jackson story?
