Podcasts about best popular film

On a recent trip to India, the Surgeon General sat down with the delightful and inspiring father-daughter duo of Aamir and Ira Khan. Aamir is a renowned and beloved actor and producer, appearing in some of India's biggest films. Ira Khan is founder of the Agatsu Foundation, a peer support and counseling center in Mumbai. Many people assume Aamir and Ira's lives are easy and worry-free given their success and fame. But as you'll hear in our conversation, they, like all of us, have their own mental health struggles. Ira openly shares her experience with depression and anxiety. And at the height of his career, Aamir stepped back from acting to reconnect with himself and his family. They are very open about their mental health journey, which they are taking together as father and daughter. We hope this conversation gives families the inspiration and courage to have honest conversations about mental health.  This conversation is the EXTENDED version of the conversation that appears on Netflix India's YouTube channel. (03:10)    What was the culture of mental health different for Aamir and Ira when each were growing up? (08:06)    How has Ira struggled with, and addressed, her mental health?(13:39)    How did Aamir respond to Ira's mental health struggles, and navigate his own?(25:00)    How is loneliness affecting people around the world, and what can we do about it?(35:22)    How can we shift the culture around talking about mental health, and make it as easy to talk about as a physical ailment?(40:41)    What have Aamir and Ira learned from doing therapy?(51:43)    How has social connection been a powerful healing force in Dr. Murthy's life?(01:00:35)    What advice do Aamir and Ira have for parents and for young people struggling with their mental health? We'd love to hear from you! Send us a note at housecalls@hhs.gov with your feedback & ideas.

She has clinical depression since age 18 and was diagnosed in 2019. She is a Suicide Prevention Gatekeeping Instructor and a HAP counsellor at Agatsu and regularly conducts sessions on Emotional Hygiene, which is Agatsu's primary proposal to society. She's on the Steering Council of IMHA. Ira is also a passionate advocate of mental wellbeing in her personal capacity having done talks, panel discussions and podcasts. The kindness of her heart is rivalled only by the fire of her spirit. She recognizes that human beings themselves are humanity's greatest enemies when they are busying themselves not being its champions. Agatsu is her invitation to everyone to confront the unknown within and find their own truth. ----- Through his career in Hindi films, Aamir Khan has established himself as one of the most popular and influential actors of Indian cinema. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including four National Film Awards and eight Filmfare Awards. He was honored by the Government of India with the Padma Shri in 2003 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010. In 2001, Khan started a production company, whose first release, “Lagaan,” was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and earned him a National Film Award for Best Popular Film and two more Filmfare Awards (Best Actor and Best Film). Khan's greatest commercial successes came with “Ghajini," “3 Idiots,” “Dhoom 3,” “PK,” and “Dangal,” all of which held records for being the highest-grossing Indian film of all time. Khan won his third Best Actor award at Filmfare for “Dangal.” In addition to acting, Khan is a humanitarian and has participated and spoken out for various social causes. He has created and hosted the television talk show “Satyamev Jayate,” through which he highlights sensitive social issues in India.

The Academy Awards are changing the way their ceremony will be run in three drastic ways over the next two years. Dakota goes over the pros and cons for each of these changes. First- The date of the ceremony will be changed from the end of February to the beginning of February starting in 2020. What this means for when nominations are announced to what other awards shows will do is still up in the air, but this impact will be felt across the industry. Second- The show will be capped at a hard three hours, meaning that some things will need to be cut out with the Academy already announcing that some categories (at the moment unnamed) will be handed out during commercial breaks and will be shown in a montage at the end of ceremony. Other changes to ensure the time length have not been announced yet. Third- There will a Best Popular Film award handed out next to the Best Picture award. As far as the rules surrounding what makes a film “popular” have not been announced but the fall out from this will be felt as it will change the landscape of what the award means, what types of films will be nominated and how it will affect smaller films. For further reading check out Vulture “The Oscars Made Some Dumb Decisions Today” and Forbes “New Category For Popular Movies Will Help Disney Rule The Oscars”. You can also check out Box Office Mojo and their list of highest grossing films of the year so far to see some potential nominees. Something new I’ll be asking people to do is to rate and review Contra Zoom on Podchaser, a site that aims to be the IMDb of podcasts. Please rate 5 stars and if possible leave a short review to help grow this show. Also if you have never given the show a rating on iTunes, that also helps tremendously.

Less than 24 hours after the 91st Academy Awards took place, Rob takes to the mic to vent/celebrate the Oscar wins. It was a big night for films like Green Book, Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody, much to many people's delight/dismay. But the evening also marked major wins for Roma, The Favourite, BlacKkKlansman and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. All in all, it was a rollercoaster ride of exciting moments (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performance, Best Actress) and groan-inducing turns (oh, we'll get there). So join Rob as he runs through every single win and officially closes the green book on this awards season. From the prospect of a Best Popular Film statuette to the Academy's struggle to find a willing host to emcee the evening to the misguided idea to present select awards during the commercial breaks, this year's Oscars were loaded with drama that had nothing to do with the nominated films. Perhaps such internal chaos is indicative of changes ahead. Only time will tell. For now, regardless of what you thought about the winners, at least we can all happily move on to the promising films that 2019 has in store for us and begin to speculate what shape the ceremony will take when next we meet it.

This year’s Academy Awards have been a series of mistakes, from suggesting a Best Popular Film award to the plan to award from of the evening’s awards during commercial breaks.

* The government lives to fight another day, as does #Millennial. * Andrew’s HOA is too involved, Laura’s isn’t involved enough, and Pam has become a personal chef! (For her dog) * “Uncle Joe, don’t run,” we imagine President Obama casually mentioning on his most recent brodate with Joe Biden. (Note: This episode was recorded before Bernie's announcement) * The Confessional makes a return with an unsettling childhood memory and an equally unsettling Valentine’s Day gift. * What has Kevin Hart, a Best Popular Film category, and Laura’s viewership? Not this year’s Oscars! * That said, 2018 was a good year for women in film… unless you’re Marvel, which is just now releasing its first female-led blockbuster. Womp womp. * According to a survey conducted by Yale and George Mason Universities, most Americans believe in climate change, but don’t feel the emotional urgency they ~perhaps~ ABSOLUTELY should. * After several failed attempts (seriously, answer your phones people!) we reach Baila and her husband, who reveal they have a mixed-political marriage. * This week’s episode is sponsored by Joybird (https://www.joybird.com/millennial for 25% off your first order using code MILLENNIAL), Zola (https://www.zola.com/mill for a free wedding website and $50 off a Zola registry), and BioClarity (https://www.bioclarity.com and enter code MIL for a free clarifying masque with the purchase of a skincare routine).

That’s a wrap! Josh and Dan debate the final (imaginary) nominees for Best Popular Film 1996 - Independence Day; Mission: Impossible; Scream; The First Wives Club; The Birdcage – and crown a winner! We’re re-writing history over here!  But first, we talk the most painful Oscar snubs of 2019; Avengers: Extremely Infinite-Seeming Wars; whether Roma could win Best Popular Film; and Josh’s pitch for a better English Patient!

Can anyone beat Cuaron?! ***This is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** Big Things Coming This Oscars Week - Top of Show What is a Category Review? - 3:30 Best Director Snubs - 4:30 Alfonso Cuaron, Roma Why It Will Win - 14:15 Why It Won’t Win - 16:30 Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite Why It Will Win - 18:17 Why It Won’t Win - 19:56 Spike Lee, BlackKklansman Why It Will Win - 21:01 Why It Won’t Win - 22:32 Adam McKay, Vice Why It Will Win - 24:19, 27:01 Why It Won’t Win - 25:39, 27:45 Pawel Pawlikowski, Cold War Why It Will Win - 28:17 Why It Won’t Win - 30:00 Perfecting Perfection - 30:50 Outro/Social Media/Words of Wisdom - 38:03 It’s time for our Best Director Category Overview. Though the winner seems like a certainty, we do love a bunch of these movies, and it’s a fun ranking episode to be sure. There’s also some fascinating narratives to indulge and perhaps some of the most intriguing personalities we’ve had to analyze in awhile. If you told us a few years ago that we’d get Yorgos friggin’ Lanthimos, Adam funnyman McKay, AND Spike “Critic No 1 of the Academy” Lee in the same set of nominations with two foreign filmmakers who directed black & white foreign language passion projects about their parents!?, we’d have never believed you. So it’s another fun & loaded episode for you all. We still have one more category overview episode to close out this series, and you’ll get two categories for the price of one as we’ll dissect both the Adapted & Original Screenplays this week. If you enjoy these episodes, do go back to our catalog for the Best Picture, Animated Feature, Actor, Actress, the two Supportings, and Original Song. MMO has also reviewed the vast majority of the nominated films with over fifty Oscar Sprint Profile or Movie Event reviews. There’s award show preview, prediction, and recap episodes, many of which are featured in our Oscar Race Update segments on our weekly variety show, MMOW. Then do enjoy all our retrospectives, special movie franchise review series, and of course, our 2018 year in review episodes. We’ve already covered the Best Scenes of the Film Year, and we’ll have our MMO’s (The Mike, Mike, & Oscars still to come), as well as our final predictions, and of course, we’ll be recording after next Sunday’s Academy Awards for a full recap. We’re also very proud to bring you a new series called MMO Interviews. Brennan Lee Mulligan of College Humor chatted us up about the MCU, his own screenplays, & how he views the Oscars. Reilly Anspaugh & Geoffrey James of Headgum came spoke to us about Timothee Chalamet films, Bond Villains, & their recent trip to Sundance. Then we have another major get in MMO Interviews episode 3. The Mikes sat down with Scott Feinberg of the Hollywood Reporter, foremost Oscarologist, Awards Chatter Podcast Host, and oracle behind the beloved Feinberg Forecast. All of our guests thus far have been kind enough to tell us their origin stories & how they’ve navigated their careers to date. Scott certainly did as much,, and he also broke down many of the Oscar categories, the year’s biggest stories like that Best Popular Film category, filled us in on some late breaking buzz, and much much more. This new series has been our favorite endeavor yet. Do not miss these MMO Interviews! As always, let us know what you think.

Josh and Dan debate their two final picks for Best Popular Film of 1996 – The Birdcage and That Thing You Do! Why are ‘loyal houseboys’ like Agador so completely unable to manage wearing shoes? What exactly is ‘the thing’ that you ‘do!’ with such fervor, and who are ‘you’ anyway? Tune in to find out / listen to our informed speculation!

Josh and Dan pair up two wonderful films about awesome women (Geena, Diane, Goldie, Bette) taking vengeance on their awful exes. Does either deserve the Best Popular Film award? Is Josh secretly an amnesiac assassin? Will Dan be a good first wife? Tune in to find out!

The Best of the Best. **OK, So it’s like Spoiler-ish.*** We don’t give away ALL or even MOST of what’s happening in these scenes, but we do outline some of what happens in a few of them. Impossible not to do that. Intro / Holiday Wishes / MMOs On the Horizon - Top of the Show Honorable Mentions - 2:20 Mike1’s #3 Best Scene - 12:54 The Mikes Have the Same #2/Act 2 Best Scene - 14:09 AlsoMike’s Best Act 1 Scene - 15:24 Mike1’s Best Scene of 2018 - 16:54 AlsoMike’s Best Scene of 2018 - 18:48 TELL US YOURS! - 20:29 Outro / Upcoming Programming / Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 22:37 The year end summaries of 2018 are flying all over the interweb, and MMO wanted give you something a little different than the usual top 10 lists. Oh, we’ll certainly weigh in with our favorite everything on the year, and boy, do we have a ton of categories, some being serious and some fun. In 2017, we called it our Year In Review series, and we included our superlatives pod AKA the Best Of’s episode, and in our humble opinion, it’s one of our better self made award shows. Then we dove into our top 10s as well what we would nominate and pick to win all of the Oscar categories in our 2017 MMOs. Will we follow the same exact format this year? We don’t quite know yet. But we will have another Year in Review Series in the weeks leading up to the Oscars. So do stay tuned. This episode is a teaser toward those eventual shows, but also, it’s a fun and relatively quick way to give you some mid-week entertainment over the holiday break when very few other pods are dropping new content. So you’re welcome, we love you, and Happy Holidays. These scene recommendations should hopefully encourage you to watch some awesome movies, and it’s our little gift to you this Christmas. Stay tuned for the rest of our Awards Season coverage. We’ll continue our Oscar Sprint Profiles as we review all of the contenders for the red carpet one movie at a time. We’re up to 28 movies in that series thus far, and we also have a bunch of 2018 movie events to compliment our awards taste with a more popular slant. Speaking of popular films, we did 3 separate episodes on the Breaking News odyssey of the Best Popular Film category. The centerpiece of those shows was our Perfect Oscar Fix on how we’d make the Academy Awards great again. Laugh at our way too early predictions and our 2 part mid-year report, and of course, we’ve been previewing Oscar films with our 6 part Oscar Trailers series and on a weekly basis with MMOW. You can find all of these episodes in our back catalog, and on Soundcloud, we made the “2018/19 Awards Season + Oscars” playlist so that you can find them easily. The “Breaking News Episodes/ Random Episodes also contains a few from that long list, and there’s yet another playlist entitled “MMO Weekly Episodes” to listen to our new hit series there. We’ll also cover the hell out of the Golden Globes. There’s a reaction episode to those nominations already up on our feed. We plan to record a Globe predictions episode next week, and we’ll certainly have a reaction show to the Hollywood Foreign Press’ main event coming to you a monday from now. Following that, we’ll have reactions to the Critics Choice Awards, SAG’s, and of course, to the Oscar Nominations later in the month. So when reality kinda sucks in the middle of winter, watch movies and stay updated on the Oscar Race with us. Finally, let us know what your favorite or best scenes of 2018 are, and we’ll be reading some of your selections on the next MMO Weekly. You can send those to us on social media at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail, as well as @MMandOscar on Twitter. Once again, we wish you the happiest of holidays, and thank you for listening.

***This is a News Episode. So we’re mostly NON-spoilers here.*** There’s some general discussion on the DCEU and James Bond franchises, but it’s broad strokes. Six Degrees Of MMO: Round 2: Round 2 Recap - 2:00 Sidney Poitier to Chloe Grace Moretz Audience Winners - 3:29 The Mikes Answers - 7:03 What’s the Challenge for Round 3? - 11:31 The James Bond / Danny Boyle Fiasco - 13:42 Why Also Mike Still Pays For Moviepass - 17:30 Bryan Singer Still Has a Career?! Ew. - 20:33 The Joaqker (Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker) Revealed in 1st Photo - 22:46 Henry Cavill Out as Superman & who’s left in the DCEU - 24:31 The Conjuring 3 for 2020 - 27:27 Zombieland 2 as a future Oscars Movie?! - 28:27 Rambo 5’s Jungle Workout Videos - 30:01 Solo’s Low Budget Sequel? - 31:08 Leo Saves the Environment & Also Mike’s Wardrobe - 33:15 Social Media Info / Plus We Beg You to Give Us a Good Review After Perhaps Our Weirdest Episode Ever And Also We Will Bake You Cookies If You Do - 36:36 So we recorded another massive Oscar Race update for this upcoming award season and totally wiped ourselves out doing it. That is NOT this episode. THIS episode is what happened after that tremendously focused and well coordinated effort of content production. That will be our next episode of Hollywood H-H-HOT Takes giving you a complete overview of all the Oscar News coming out of the 3 renowned fall film festivals & previewing the NYFF. This is the rest of the topics we wanted to cover from the past month. It’s some fun stuff, the non-Oscar stuff, but since we were so goofy, we’re calling our Hollywood NOT Takes. Because they’re NOT takes, basically… we just tell bizarre stories and make ridiculous references for 30 minutes, talking past each other like the obliquely written characters from a Noah Baumbach script. Even still, there’s a fun array of topics we should have addressed better. James Bond might be dead soon, Also Mike still pays for Moviepass for some reason, the Joker is actually just Joaquin Phoenix with a bad haircut, Henry Cavill is too hot for the DCEU, The Conjuring 3, Zombieland 2, and Rambo 5 all go into production soon, and Leonardo DiCaprio has the same fashion sense as one of your hosts. So yes, these were all fun topics to discuss, but please don’t judge us too harshly. We’ll drop this as an early in the week bonus episode, and perhaps it could play on as a lively B-Side in your listening futures. If not, ...well, we had fun. Do send us your Six Degrees Of MMO round 3 submissions via social media. We are Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, where we’re our most active. Listen to the episode and send us those round 3 submissions which we’ll read on the air next week. We hope you’ve been enjoying our late summer & early fall programming. There are Oscar Sprint Profiles and Movie Event reviews, several other news episodes on Best Popular Film and Moviepass, trailer round ups previewing the films of awards season, and of course, all kinds of retrospectives from The Conjuring Universe series back to our Best Original Song halfisodes. Thanks again for our best month ever in August, and we’re outpacing last month’s great number so far. When reality has sucked, you’ve been watching those movies with us. We thank you.

This episode of the exceedingly popular "Gobeskis Report" features present guest Charlie Wallace, host of the less popular podcast "Cinematic Respect"! Once we're past all the boring bits where he promotes his podcast we dive into the announcment of the Oscar category for "Best Popular Film". And wouldn't you know it, the Academy heard this episode and back-pedaled! But that's just our vociferous fans causing our will to be done, as usual!

A must for Horror Fans! ***This Review of The Nun Has a Spoiler Section*** We’re spoiler free for the first (33) minutes. Then we break down the plot in all it’s gothic glory. The Nun: Non-Spoiler Review Cast & Crew - 4:40 Production Notes - 11:32 Movie Specs - 13:21 Premise / Expectations / Theater Going Experience - 17:32 Review of Production Values - 20:20 Performances - 25:33 Ranking The Conjuring Series Protagonists - 27:41 Oscar Lens - 30:58 Spoiler Music - 33:06 Immediate Carryovers / THE worst scene - 34:14 Plot Discussion / Lots of bests & worsts - Sprinkled Throughout This Segment Final Thoughts & Grades - 50:26 The Warrens’ Cinematic Universe Re-Rank - 51:48 Social Media Us! - 55:30 The newest film in the James Wan / Ed & Lorrain Warren / WB Conjuring Universe is setting new opening weekend box office high for the franchise. During our re-watch pods, we’ve already highlighted some huge profits. So this is high praise considering the budgets of tens of millions have resulted in well over a billion dollars in total earnings. As for the quality of the film and the horror movie goods, that’s where we can have the in-depth discussion. Audience scores have been mixed, and critical numbers have been down. So let us weigh in with a final word on when and how and why you should see movie. For this reason, we give you your money’s worth with a non-spoiler review. Then for the fans who’ve already gone and seen it, we have a full breakdown of the plot in spoilers. Reviewing all these horror movies the last two weeks must have done a number on our nerves. Because we may have been weirder than usual in this episode. Banter happens, songs get sung, and we’re doing bizarro voices. This genre must allow us to let our hair down or something (yes, that’s a metaphor). In any case, you’re welcome. Chat with us on social media. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, where we’re most active. Do get us your SixDegreesOfMMO responses this week. Either have fun coming up with your own IMDB brain-buster for us to talk about on air, or enjoy yourselves some clicks around the Internation Movie DataBase to come up with an answer to our proposition of Debra Messing to Sir Anthony Hopkins. Do check out our massive catalog of episodes. We have fourteen 2018 films reviewed in our Oscar Sprint Profile series plus movie events like this & The Cloverfield Paradox back in January. We’ve also kept you up to date on the Best Popular Film news from the Academy and all the buzz coming out of the festivals with our monthly Hollywood Hot Takes & breaking news halfisodes. We did a mid-year Oscar Race Update and three Oscar Contender Trailer round up shows as well. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!

On this week's show, I'm joined by Hannah Buchdahl of Blogtalkradio's Cinema Clash podcast to talk about Jennifer Garner's long-awaited (??) return to action flicks with PEPPERMINT! Was the wait worth it? Or is there nothing sweet about this comeback?Plus, the Academy decided to delay the controversial Best Popular Film category, but should it have been introduced in the first place? And will it now be quietly shelved in hopes everybody forgets about it? And where does this decision leave films like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War? All this and more so tune in for another great show!

The Academy walks back its less-than-popular "Best Popular Film" category, the first official images from Captain Marvel hint at something new for the MCU, and the world loses a legend with the passing of Burt Reynolds.

The Academy has put its plan to introduce a new category for best "popular" film on indefinite hold. It will go forward with presenting 6-8 awards during commercial breaks in order to streamline and shorten the TV broadcast of the ceremony.

Best Popular Film's Death. ***OSCARS BREAKING NEWS!!! And yes, we’re SPOILER FREE*** Burt Reynolds RIP: Our favorites, his most popular films - :49 The Best Popular Film Category has been Postponed. Mike 1 reads the BREAKING NEWS + How We Got Here - 2:28 Gut Reactions + How this affects Black Panther - 5:22 Where the Academy Could Go From Here - 12:15 What happens to Black Panther now? - 17:07 Would they bring Best Popular Film back next year? - 18:20 Social Media - 21:44 First and foremost, RIP, Burt Reynolds. He’s acted in so many great films. We’ve loved his movies from The Longest Yard to his Oscar nomination in Boogie Nights, from his arrow shooting outdoorsman in Deliverance to his fast driving turn in the super popular films of the Smokey and the Bandit franchise. It’s a sad day, and we offer our condolences to his family at the top of the show. Last month, the Academy instituted three changes to the Oscars. The 2020 awards would be pushed up from late February to very early in the month, all future broadcasts would be capped at a maximum of 3 hours, pushing many of the technical and short film awards into commercial breaks and a summary montage later in the night, and of course, the academy would add a category for Best Achievement in a Popular Film. The Academy kept the first two changes, but they postponed the Best Popular Film addition. So we had a lot to break down here in a short amount of time. As we did in the previous Breaking News halfisode, we try to hit all the angles, but we’re mostly concerned with our initial gut reactions and hot takes to this madness. Go back to Halfisode 16 and episode 92 to catch up on this story and hear our elaborate, yet perfect fix for the Oscars. Now we have some more time to bend the Academy to our will. What do you think about the Academy’s decision to delay the addition of Best Popular Film? Was it a good decision? Did they forever doom or forever shelve the possibility of the category? Will Black Panther or other “popular films” get nominated this year? Will they have a chance to win? And what would happen if Black Panther won the award? Would the Academy be turned upside down? Chat with us on social media. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Reddit, Gmail, Instagram, and Facebook. We are @MMandOscar on Twitter, where we’re our most active. You can also comment / like / share / review us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, or just about wherever you listen to your podcasts. Please click those 5 stars & leave us a positive review if you’ve been enjoying our show. If you’re new to MMO, then do go back and listen to our massive back catalog of episodes. There’s something for all tastes. We cover the hell out of the Oscars, but also dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mission Impossible franchise, and even the horror genre with our recent re-watch of the Conjuring / Warren films. When reality sucks, you’ve been watching movies with us. This, our slogan has certainly emphasized our love of escapism during these troubled times. But it’s also been fascinating to watch how our conversations have delved into contemporary issues THROUGH the lens of our favorite films. So we thank you once again for making August our strongest month to date. Do keep listening.

Screen Life 4Life! ***This Review of Searching has a Spoiler Section*** We’ll have a non-spoiler first half & then give the plot a full breakdown after some spoiler music warning, which also happens to be the song of the summer. Not a lot of people know this, but it’s true. (Nobody knows it. Though I take nothing back.) Searching: Non-Spoiler Review Cast & Crew / Bye Bye Google - 1:32 Production Notes / The Screen Life Genre - 7:11 Specs / A Sundance & Audience Favorite - 12:33 Expectations / Soderbergian Influences - 16:39 Review of Production Values - 18:23 Performances - 22:30 Final Thoughts / What Else Can Screen Life Cover? - 25:38 Spoiler Music - 28:35 Searching: Spoiler-Filled Review Immediate Carryovers / Worst Scenes - 29:57 Best Scenes / We Like Fish N’ Chips - 38:35 The Service - 40:00 Grades - 42:38 Outro / Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 45:21 From Russia with love, we get Timur Bekmambetov’s production company pumping out a slew of new films in the Screen Life genre where the entire film plays out on all the screens we know and love and can’t live without in our daily lives. Our production notes covers the cast & crew, where the director leaves a lucrative career most would kill for in order to writer mysteries about characters who would kill for other reasons. Then we dive into our full OSP (Oscar Sprint Profile) review treatment of Searching. Both our non-spoiler and spoiler review covers insights into our psyche’s as well as that of John Cho’s rich character work of the last few years. Our spoiler review also breaks down all the major highlights of the plot and the movie going experience of Mikes with buttery popcorn hands in hands. This is an underrated film in our minds, and we hope to do it justice in our full review here. This is our 14th 2018 Oscar Sprint profile. Go back & listen to our back catalog of episodes to catch up on all the Oscar contenders we’ve covered including Crazy Rich Asians most recently, Black Panther, A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Hereditary, The Incredibles 2, Sorry To Bother You, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Eighth Grade, Isle of Dogs, and BlacKkKlansman. We’ve also covered the major news stories hitting the trades over the past month including the Best Popular Film outrage from the Academy, which we fixed in episode 92. We also chronicled the Moviepass saga in halfisode 17. Then we’ve covered all the buzz coming out of the fall film festival circuit including 3 Oscar Contender Trailer round-ups and monthly previews of everything hitting theaters, and we’ve just begun The Nun preview with a Conjuring Universe rewatch, which we’ll continue for you mid-week.

Awkwafina's a STAR now. ***This OSP on Crazy Rich Asians has a SPOILER section*** We go premise info & non-spoilers only for awhile, then dance music warnings and a full breakdown. Crazy Rich Asian Non-Spoiler Review: Production Profile - 2:01 Cast and Crew - 7:03 Specs - 9:29 Expectations - 13:48 Oscar Lens - 15:38 Production Values - 25:50 Performance Review - 30:02 Foreshadowing the Spoilers - 32:29 Watch/Don’t Watch - 36:50 Spoiler Warning Dance Break - 37:30 Spoiler-Filled Review The Director’s letter to Coldplay - 38:52 Getting Worst Scene Out of the Way - 40:20 The Smart Set-Up - 44:50 Michelle Yeoh vs Constance Wu - 48:55 A Great Finale - 57:36 Final Spoiler Thoughts & Our Excitement for the Sequel - 1:04:09 Grades - 1:08:28 We’re late to the Crazy Rich Asians review party, but it works in our favor as we can give you the kind of unique (hear it nowhere else) kind of MMO analysis you deserve. Who else would describe their deepest darkest secrets during their car ride home from a late night screening? Who else could work in yet another hot take filled analysis on the Oscar's Best Popular Film category controversy? All that, plus you get one hell of a crazy rich review. The production story hallmarks a cultural significance the industry hasn’t celebrated for 25 years. Then the resulting movie specs showcase some critical and box office numbers never before been seen by the business. Crazy Rich Asians is a rare film, and we do our best to give it a profile worthy of its accomplishments. Both the non-spoiler and spoiler reviews also turn out to be two of our more substantive in MMO OSP history. We dive into our projections and predictions for the Oscar and Golden Globe possibilities for Michelle Yeoh and company. Then we review nearly all of the production values and performances to close out the non-spoiler section. And for our encore, the spoiler section commits to several scene breakdowns you don’t want to miss. That, plus we banter about dumplings. This review marks our 13th Oscar Sprint Profile. We’ve also reviewed Black Panther, A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Hereditary, The Incredibles 2, Sorry To Bother You, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Eighth Grade, Isle of Dogs, and BlacKkKlansman. Nobody gives you as much movie world coverage as us and to prove it, just dive into the rest of our catalog. There are trailer round up episodes from Comic Con and three on Oscar Contenders. We do monthly previews of theatrical releases and both monthly / timely Hollywood and industry news shows. We offer Quarterly reviews of Netflix and mid year reports on the Oscar Race and HBO on demand. There are full series on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Mission Impossible films. Then of course, we mine Oscar History for breakdowns of all your favorite films and songs. Chat with us on social media. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re most active @MMandOscar on Twitter, and find us wherever you may listen to podcasts: iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play etc… If you can review, 5-star, follow, subscribe, like, or comment, it will help us spread the word about our show, and we thank you for it.

23 Trailer Reviews! ***This is a One-Spoiler Episode Previewing Upcoming Oscar Films*** Unless you consider trailer information as spoilers, we only spoil Braveheart. My God do we spoil the Scottish shit out of Braveheart in anticipation of Outlaw King. (roars!) Ben is Back - 1:13 If Beale Street Could Talk - 4:22 Green Book - 6:34 Roma-9:28 Land of Steady Habits - 12:25 Outlaw King - 14:23 WIDOWS - 17:21 Suspiria - 22:22 Miseducation of Cameron Post - 25:35 Burning - 27:35 Nancy - 29:36 Sunset - 31:52 Climax - 33:36 The October/Thriller Discussion - 34:53 Cold War - 36:38 Shoplifters - 38:56 Lizzie - 40:12 Mid 90’s - 41:55 Everybody Knows - 44:17 The Happy Prince - 46:04 Bel Canto - 47:30 The Kindergarten Teacher - 49:17 All About Nina - 52:02 King Lear - 54:09 Wrapping Up - 55:50 It’s our third foray into the trailers of Oscar Contenders here. We hit some of the bigger award season favorites like Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk, Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen’s Green Book, and Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma early in the show, and the momentum doesn’t cease from there. We’re painting the Oscar mural here, hoping to give you the full landscape of films that’ll be contending come awards season. Go back and get the full preview of Oscar season with episodes 80 and 88 p2, and we also did a round up of Comic Con trailers in 88 p1. Then we have focused trailer reviews of upcoming horror films like Halloween in our DatA 1 and Nicolas Cage beserker Mandy in DatA 3. We also have a Mid Year Oscar Race update in episode 81, and two episodes where we break down the Best Popular Film change for this year’s show in episodes in Halfisode 16 where we give you our initial reactions and then in a fuller and dare we say, perfect Oscar fix in episode 92. Finally, we have a way too early Oscar Predictions episode for 2019 in 53. The MMO Oscar coverage also includes full reviews of new releases. Our Oscar Sprint Profile series is 12 pods strong thus far. We’ve reviewed Black Panther, A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Hereditary, The Incredibles 2, Sorry To Bother You, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Eighth Grade, Isle of Dogs, and BlacKkKlansman.

The Emmy Campaign Starts Here! ***Regarding the film world, this is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** We WILL discuss & spoil some recent WWE plotlines. Mike 1’s Opening Rant / Who Is Paul Heyman? - 1:56 The Interrogation - 4:33 Heyman as a Legitimate Thespian - 10:30 See, Buy, Skip - 21:45 Closing Argument - 23:21 The WWE develops popular actors, and they’ve done so throughout recent film & television history. From Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan to The Rock and John Cena, Hollywood has been scouting Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment company for their next action hero since the 80s. But what if World Wrestling’s next big cross-over to Hollywood star wasn’t even a wrestler?? From thewrap, slashfilm, & msn articles to all corners of #filmtwitter, many have praised the Emmy worthy performance of one of wrestling’s unlikeliest stars, Paul Heyman. Think boxing’s Don King or UFC’s Dana White, just give them a duster & turned up to 11. Paul Heyman is a promoter / advocate. He reps his wrestlers like lawyers, but follows them around like a sidekick. What he really does is cover for some of the worst actors in the wrestling ranks. The George to their Lenny, the Frankenstein to their Monster, when a fan favorite in-the-ring star needs a mouthpiece, that’s when Paul Heyman’s been at his best. He’s old, he’s bald, he’s fat, and he’s one of our favorite ACTORS to perform in the wrestling world in a long long while. We certainly have a lot of fun breaking down Heyman’s recent performances leading into this past Summer Slam. A fan of wrestling, Mike 1 has quite a list of superlatives to throw out there, and Also Mike (who hasn’t watched a wrestling match in over 20 years) can’t even produce a single hardball question. Bottom Line: we’re both impressed with Heyman as a character, a theatrical performer who can sure rile up a crowd, but also as an actor who understands how to get his message across on camera. Check out our other DatA’s (Devil and the Advocate) episodes. We’ve reviewed Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the latest Halloween and Mandy trailers. Of course, DatA’s are only a small portion of what we do here, and we have episodes of all shapes and sizes in our catalog. There’s 16 halfisodes including 10 shows on Best Original Song categories of Oscars past and the 5 Mission Impossible films leading into our full OSP of MI6: Fallout. Then we broke some Academy News with a Best Popular Film reaction pod in halfisode 16 before we compiled all our research and brain power in ep 92 to propose our fixes for the Oscars. We followed this news roll with a recap of the Moviepass Saga, and we’ve also reviewed 12 2018 oscar contenders thus far. From full episode reviews of all the contenders, trailer breakdown shows, monthly previews, recurring news commentaries, prediction pods, and good ole’ retrospectives - we make awards season go year round.

SPIKE IS BACK! ***This OSP of BlacKkKlansman has a Spoiler Section*** Our spoiler section will also contain plot details for Get Out, but we are full non-spoilers for the first (39) minutes of our review. **NON-SPOILER Review** Production Profile - 2:13 Movie Specs - 12:45 Expectations - 18:47 Production Values - 23:48 (Non-Spoiler Oscar Lens Reviews of...) …Director - 24:58 Cinematography & Editing - 28:21 Adapted Screenplay - 29:58 Performances - 31:50 Original Score - 35:15 Best Picture? - 37:26 Spoiler Warning Music - 38:45 **SPOILER-FILLED Review** Carryovers - 40:06 Plot Overview + Analysis - 48:32 Best Scenes - 1:06:27 Worst Scenes - 1:15:53 Final Grades - 1:20:25 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LEAVE US AN iTUNES REVIEW. PLEASE! - 1:21:43 Spike Lee is back and perhaps better than ever with his newest film, BlacKkKlansman. From the stories behind the scenes to the box office, it’s one of the more jam packed production profiles. Then although we bounce around from topic to non-spoiler topic, we do cover all of the major Oscar categories and if this film will contend. The spoiler music plays, and after some carryover conversation from non-spoilers, we must break down the plot to get our heads around the story and themes being put across to us. Honestly, we are still wrestling with this film. It’s a massive undertaking with a deceptive amount of depth - depth of feeling certainly, but also a depth in terms of all those English Exam vocabulary words we could use to analyze the story. Although, we’re not at our most articulate, this debate between Mikes brings forth a thesis from Mike 1, and we break down his main takeaway in spoilers. BlacKkKlansman is our 12th Oscar Sprint Profile of 2018. We’ve also reviewed Isle of Dogs (ep 90), Eighth Grade (89), Mission: Impossible - Fallout (86), Sorry To Bother You (85), Ant-Man and the Wasp (83), The Incredibles 2 (ep 78), Hereditary (75, 77), Deadpool 2 (ep 70), Avengers: Infinity War (68), A Quiet Place (62), and Black Panther (42,43). We’ve also kept you up to date on all the Oscar buzz, the news of the Best Popular Film category, and several episodes predicting the winners, handicapping the race, and of course, reviewing all of the trailers for upcoming contenders. Do please reach out to us with your comments on this or any previous episode. We are most accessible on Twitter @MMandOscar. We’re also Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. You can find our podcast on Google Play, iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, etc…, and whatever you can do to help us spread the word about our new show, we’d really appreciate it. A few clicks, a follow/like/subscribe/share or certainly a 5 star review on iTunes will go a long way to help us grow, and we’re really proud of our growth over the past few months. To correct something we’d said during our recording, the numbers we achieved this week actually beat our previous 7-day best, and we owe it all to you. So thanks for listening.

We are not going to let the ridiculousness of "Best Popular Film" at the Oscars distract us from the excitement of a new Spike Lee movie ... but we can't ignore that inanity either. So we kick off this week's show with the Academy's dumb new category, before getting down to business with Spike Lee's electric new film "BlacKkKlansman and the Jason Statham snorer "The Meg." Then we look at the 2010 terrorist comedy "Four Lions." We totally forgot Riz Ahmed and Benedict Cumberbatch were in that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A more in-depth look at James Gunn's pedophile jokes, the mindset of a Trump follower, how to fact-check in a world filled with a various claims and sources, and the recent decision to include the "Best Popular Film" category at the Oscars

Lady for a Day is an almost entirely delightful rags-to-sort-of-riches fairytale with a brilliant ensemble cast of at the time relative unknowns. After a quick discussion of the Academy's upcoming addition of the Best Popular Film category, Suzan and David mostly rave about the first Frank Capra movie to be nominated for Best Picture... mostly. But unfortunately, like too many of these 1930s movies, its rating is brought down by an inexplicably random scene of unconnected racism leaving our hosts to wonder-- will any movie in the '30s manage to pass this part of the Screen Test of Time?

The Academy just made an announcement to make radical changes to the 2020 ceremony. Along with shortening the ceremony, the biggest, and most controversial, change is adding a new category recognizing ‘outstanding achievement in popular film.’ What does this category mean? What qualifies something as a ‘best popular film?’ The Academy gave no answers on… Read More »Eye on the Prize Ep 13 – Best Popular Film?

"We're Really Mad About Best Popular Film" (Episode 209) by Indiewire: Screen Talk

The Meg is pure self-aware and over-the-top fun and The Academy opens up a total can of worms with their woefully misguided "Best Popular Film" category.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just announced a new award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film, and everyone online is losing their minds. Is the outrage justified? How will this new award impact comic book, horror, and even animated movies? And is the Academy fixing a problem that isn't even broken? An emergency episode of the In Reel Deep Podcast has been convened; join us as we rant about the Oscars in August, which is breaking new ground even for us.

& Black Panther's Dilemma. ***BREAKING NEWS!!! This is of course, a movie spoiler FREE episode*** We Read the Breaking News / Letter from the Academy - 1:08 The 3 Major Changes to the Oscars: Best Achievement in a Popular Film - 2:45 Moving Up the Date & Tightening the Broadcast to 3 Hours- 17:49 Wrapping Up & Social Media Contacts- 28:57 OMG, do we have some BREAKING NEWS. The Academy’s Board of Governors approved THREE MAJOR changes to the Oscars. First, they’ve added a new Best Picture category tentatively called the Best Popular Film. There are multiple angles to dissect, there’s a film twitter backlash to discuss, and there’s a fascinating set of implications to debate. You get all of that from us here. But if that’s not enough, the Academy made two more humongous changes to make things get even crazier. They’ve moved up the date of the show and therefore shortened award season. They’ve also put a hard cap on the broadcast time to make it a 3 hour event, pushing many speeches and below the line technical category presentations into the commercial breaks. We predict what the aftermath of these two huge changes might be, and we debate why the Academy is doing what it’s doing. It’s one of our most fascinating Hollywood Hot Take episodes to date, and you don’t want to miss it. We’ll continue to follow up on this story in our next HHT episode, tentatively scheduled for next week after our BlacKkKlansman review. There’s gonna be a deep dive on the world of Moviepass in that episode. So although we hope this real time release gives you your fix on this latest breaking news, we also think these debates are relevant in the coming months. Time will tell, but we hope this episode has legs regardless of when you might click play. If you enjoyed this, do check out our back catalog of episodes. We have monthly Hollywood News reports we call Hollywood Hot Take (HHTs), and we’ve also released many Oscar Race previews for this upcoming awards season. Our show also reviews all of the potential contenders as they’re released including Black Panther, A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Hereditary, The Incredibles 2, Sorry To Bother You, and Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Then stay tuned for our upcoming reviews of Eighth Grade, Isle of Dogs, and BlacKkKlansman. Things are heating up in and outside the movie theater for Oscar Season.

Episode 103 is probably the most important episode we have ever recorded. History was made on August 8th 2018 when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences introduced three major new changes which rocked the industry. After years of making suggestions on what changes we would like to see The Academy introduce, none of the changes they actually announced pleased us one bit. Here to discuss all of this is Michael Schwartz, Ryan C. Showers, Celia Schlekewey, Kt Schaefer, Josh Parham & Jacey Aldredge as we try to answer your questions and ask some of our own regarding the recent decisions by AMPAS.
