This week I'm solo, giving my rambling thoughts on both Barbie and Oppenheimer after my first view. These movies definitely require a watch as well as some folks to chat with so they will probably be revisted in greater detail another time. I just couldn't pass up making an episode about what I think is the Movie Event of the year. For two movies I decided to taste two great rye whiskies. Sagamore Spirit's Bottled in Bond batch 2 and 8 year old batch 2. They;re both really great ryes that you should try as soon as you get a chance. Cheers!

As we both hoped & feared, cats is a glorious failure. We award it points for ambition, but there’s also a lot to learn from what didn’t work here. Bottom line though, this was such a miscalculation. Who thought this was funny? Why are they trying to be sexy? & Why is she always crying?! What is This Episode? - Top of Show A Letter - 1:59 NONSPOILER REVIEW: Cast, Specs, Box Office, Scores - 4:05 A Nightmarish Hellscape Wrought With Vengeance Upon Us All - 8:00 Theater Going Experiences - 11:44 Who Is This For?/Inception - 13:59 Songs/Production Values - 17:01 Cats In Heat - 20:09 Honest To Goodness Positives…Kinda - 22:00 Just Get It Out/VFX/Prod Design -24:23 SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 28:19 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW: The Greatest Ending in Movie History- 29:30 “The Weirdest Scene in the Movie” - 35:44 FINAL GRADE - 37:45 Your Homework/What Drugs Work Best Here? - 40:06 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 41:38 After the rage we had for Star Wars Episode IX, we wondered if we might take pity on Cats. Perhaps the lower than expected scores would even push us away from this review entirely. But trust us. There was no way we could see this film, physically experience it, and not talk about it for a full episode. As usual, we give you a full non-spoiler review first. So if you’re wondering whether or not to go see it, wonder no more. We flat out tell you in the early goings. Then we do a spoiler section where we must break down a few of the craziest scenes of this or any year. If you enjoyed this episode, please remember to give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts. Just click on our show, scroll down a few moments, and then click that fifth star. We thank you for your support. Otherwise, do stay tuned for more Oscar Sprint Profile & Movie Event reviews. We still have Little Women and 1917 coming up in terms of definite OSP’s. Then we’ll also be covering The Two Popes and Bombshell either on their own, or in conjunction with an Oscar Race Checkpoint episode, which is where we discuss all the recent happenings in awards season.

So we probably recorded this episode a little quick. Perhaps we should have thought things through a bit more. But you’re getting our piping hot takes fresh out of the oven for this review. This movie pissed us off. What is This Episode? - :43 NONSPOILER REVIEW: Cast, Specs, Box Office, Scores - 1:34 Theater Going Experiences - 3:45 Save Us Kevin Feige? - 6:09 Premise…In Name - 7:21 Script Thoughts - 11:33 Performances - 13:36 Retcon Wars - 15:42 Production Values - 17:33 SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 22:29 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW: Best Scenes….Kind of Awards- 23:51 Lowlights Awards - 34:30 (A BEAUTIFUL Setup To An Ending That… - 36:46) (JJ Kennedy v Johnson - 43:26) (All In All You’re Just A-nother Pile Of Clothes - 49:58) (The Rise Of Mike Obama - 53:59) FINAL GRADE - 56:14 Your Homework/Our Socials - 1:00:18 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 1:01:07 I know I know, we try to be a film appreciation podcast much more often than not. That’s why we focus on the Oscars, so we get to focus mostly on the best received of each year. That’s why we do re-watch series, to celebrate some of our favorite franchises & filmmakers & characters. That’s why we keep such close tabs on every single movie news story out there in the world with our MMOW & Oscar Race Checkpoint weekly shows. But this new Star Wars movie got under our skin. Fear led to anger. Anger led to hate. And our hatred turned both Mikes to the dark side of the happy fanboys we prefer to be. Cuz amidst all our rational & irrational takes, we ripped this movie a new one. Movie Event pods usually try and award our films with a variety of real and fake awards. Obviously, we are probably awarding this movie more of the latter variety, and yes, think Razzies. But as we always do, you get a non-spoiler section first. Though do beware. We probably offer more clues than we normally would. So if you want to know NOTHING, maybe avoid this episode until you’ve seen the film. Otherwise, we do discuss some highs & lows of the production values, performances, and script in non-spoilers before we play our spoiler warning dance music and breakdown the plot. Hopefully, you still like us if you enjoyed this movie. We are sorry for lashing out wildly at the world after this shocking disappointment. So do please let us know your thoughts on this Episode IX.

Will Jojo Rabbit surprise us come Oscar time? Does the tone of the movie work? How biting is the satire? And most importantly, how many nominations should Jojo Rabbit get from the Academy?

We love to review all of the major contenders & future nominations, and after Taika Waititi shocked us all at TIFF, we had to give this movie the full OSP treatment. Do check out our 2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profile playlist in our soundcloud feed for all our these episodes. Dolemite Is My Name, Parasite, Joker, Ad Astra, and Hustlers are our more recent additions to this list. But we’ve been at this list since the beginning of the year with reviews of Apollo 11, Us, Avengers: Endgame, Rocketman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and more. You can also find our Movie Event reviews of other terrific films from this year like Good Boys, Midsommar, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Ready or Not, and then some. In any case, we’ve been all over the film year with our reviews. And as we always do in this OSP, you get two reviews for the price of one. There’s a non-spoiler section with our impressions of the production values, performances & script, and we build this section up to a guess-timation of how many nominations Jojo Rabbit will get at the Oscars. Then after a spoiler warning dance music interlude, we dive into the major plotlines and discuss all our bests, worsts, and burning questions in the spoiler section. We ask some burning questions throughout both non-spoilers and spoilers. How many noms will this movie get? Did Waititi find a tonal balance? How do we view the early backlash to this movie? And does it pull off all its lofty ambitions? There’s a ton of good discussion & debate, and as always, we want to know what you think. Please tell us. If you’re enjoying our show, please take a moment to leave us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts. Just click on our show in your app, scroll down a few seconds, and click that fifth star.

Mike 1 and Also Mike took Mom 1 and Also Mom to the movies, & we did have a lot of fun. Hear about our unique viewing experience at a special preview of the movie version of Downton Abbey in this Oscar Sprint Profile.

The Mikes took the Moms to the movies, and despite some worries going in, we had a grand old time. We chat about our theater going experience and give this the full OSP treatment featuring our Oscar Lens and our usual non-spoiler section first. The Mom, Mom, & Oscar podcast may have been born tonight. Also Mom wore her best jewelry, Mike 1 wore his finest sweatshirt, and the movie version of Downton Abbey won our hearts, if not our minds in its big screen debut. We begin with a far too long Cast & Crew rundown to hopefully refresh show lovers & orient folks coming into this series for the first time, but if that doesn’t work for ya, then Mike 1 relished the chance to bust my balls. Our non-spoiler section also comments upon our low expectations going in, and we review the production values, performances, & script with an Oscar Lens upon a few potential nominations before we dive into the plot in spoilers. And what a shocking plot it was...umm, because it wasn’t all that shocking at all. For lovers of the show, you’ll get a chance to visit Downton once again and catch up with all your favorite characters. Director Julian Fellowes gives one of the more fan servicey tributes to a TV turned movie that we’ve ever seen, and it makes for a good time at the cinema. If you enjoyed this episode, then be sure to check out all our movie reviews via our playlist tab on our soundcloud account (or just scroll around our catalogue). We have playlists dedicated to the last 3 years of Oscar hopefuls and nominees with our OSP’s, and as the season heats up, we’ll be doing many more 2019 films. But right now, you can check out our coverage of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to Rocketman to The Farewell and Luce, etc... in that playlist. You can also enjoy our Movie Event playlist with reviews on Good Boys, It Chapter Two, Midsommar, Spider-Man: Far From Home, etc. We’ve also dedicated months to several re-watch series this past year like The Films of Pixar, our Tarantino Re-Watch Series, and now, The Joker Character Study.

God, this movie pissed us off. Usually, this is a film appreciation podcast, and even here, we give It Chapter Two a lot of credit. But very few movies have fired us up as much as this one did in a negative review. In other words, we freak the hell out. Format of This Review - 1:41 NONSPOILER REVIEW: Specs, Box Office Awards - 2:28 Cast and Performance Awards -9:02 Production Awards - 11:43 Is This a Movie Event? - 18:24 SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 21:48 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW: Nonspoiler Carryover Awards - 23:01 Our First Plot Awards- 24:32 The “Ending Sucks” Awards- 27:34 Reunited in Derry Awards - 32:49 One Mike Flips Out - 38:36 “Let’s Split Up” Awards - 41:37 The Other Mike Flips Out- 44:34 Finale Awards - 51:33 Horror Movies and Their Rules - 56:45 Superlative Awards - 58:25 FINAL GRADE - 1:00:47 Your Homework/PLEASE LEAVE US 5*’S - 1:02:13 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 1:03:08 It Chapter Two is our 6th Movie Event review of the year. We’ve also covered Ready Or Not, Good Boys, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Midsommar, and Annabelle Comes Homes, and this is the third review doing our new mock award show format, which is really just a fun way to frame our superlatives and hot takes that tends to spark conversation. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the movie yet. We open with a non-spoiler section first, before we dive into the plot, and you’ll have a spoiler warning to signal that off for you. As for a psychological difference between segments, the non-spoiler section is relatively analytical, if not deliberately a bit vague, and that spoiler section is where the yelling begins. Normally, we don’t get this hyped up for a movie review and can keep our cool better than this. But we told you when we started, we’re gonna be honest with you. Was it our high expectations? Were the comparisons to the better first film unavoidable? Did this movie just suck? Or are we just a couple of snobs spoiled by all the Oscar movies we have to review? We consider all of this as well. If you’re left wanting more from an evil clown movie or if you just can’t get enough of them, then definitely check out The Joker Character Study, our new re-watch series for the fall where we review all of the major Jokers in cinematic history. On next week’s installment, we’ll be dissecting the many iterations of Mark Hamill’s voice acting performance of the Clown Prince of Crime. So don’t miss that. And if you’re enjoying our show, do please leave us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts. Click on our shows, scroll down a few seconds, and then you’ll be able to rate us. However you feel, we want to know.

WE NEED YOU, PLEEAASSEE - :50 Explaining the New “Movie Event” Format - 2:00 THE READY OR NOT, NON-SPOILER AWARDS!: Preliminary Awards - 2:57 Nonspoiler Performance Awards - 8:01 Production Value/Script Awards - 12:50 Serious Awards Talk - 17:20 SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 18:51 SPOILER AWARDS: Highlights/Bests Awards - 20:05 (Including Mike1 Losing It On Robert DeNiro - 23:06) Funniest/Scariest Scenes + Finale Analysis - 32:02 Lowlights Awards - 37:23 The Adam Brody Awards - 41:33 Other Miscellaneous Awards - 43:35 Final Thoughts/Final Grades - 45:10 Your Homework/PLEASE LEAVE US 5*’S - 46:30 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 47:21 Ready Or Not features a tight high concept horror comedy script that wins with satire as much as it does with blood & gore. We have a ton of fun breaking it all down in both our non-spoiler & spoiler reviews for this movie event. If you’re looking for recommendations on whether or not to get your asses to the theater, do check out our movie event playlist on Soundcloud. Recent episodes include Good Boys, Midsommar, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Now we’re thrilled to add Ready Or Not to the playlist. Other reviewers compare the film to its influences, and Mike 1 can’t help, but lament the title that could have been, if, well, Robert De Niro didn’t make a bad movie 14 years ago. Non-spoilers also features our awards for the explosive performances & scene stealers, the mahogany glazed production values, our optimism over Fox Searchlight, and some serious nominations for once. Then in spoilers, we break down the best scenes with a close look at the screenplay, as well as the funniest & scariest moments of the film. We do hit on some worsts, but get back to more bests rather quickly with our favorite characters & props. If you enjoy our show, do please smash that 5 stars on Apple Podcasts.

We have a new Movie Event review format, & Good Boys is a fun way to debut it. This was a funny ass movie with a surprising amount of heart. If our you could say the same thing about our podcast at some point, we’ll have done our job. Here’s hoping. Explaining the New “Movie Event” Format - 1:20 THE GOOD BOYS AWARDS SHOW!: Preliminary Awards - 4:16 Non-spoiler Performance Awards - 14:40 Secret Sauce Award - 18:33 Is This a “Movie Event?” - 19:49 SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 20:32 SPOILER AWARDS: Carryover Awards - 21:48 Highlights/Bests Awards - 23:29 Lowlights Awards - 30:45 The More Bizarre Awards - 34:09 Final Thoughts/Final Grades - 38:28 Your Homework/PLEASE LEAVE US 5*’S - 40:51 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 41:45 Obviously, as an Oscar themed podcast, when we review a movie, it usually has awards potential or an awards connection of some kind. But we also love to review great films PERIOD, and those come in all shapes, sizes, & marketing campaigns. Mike & I love to find the next cult classic or the next pleasant surprise that won’t get the awards attention they deserve. So when we feel compelled to review a film that’s not gonna contend for an Oscar or be a part of one of our Oscar related re-watch series, we proudly call that a movie event. But how do we somehow stay on brand while reviewing “another” kind of film, a non-awards contender? Welp, we fixed all that with this new format because we turned our movie event episodes into mock awards shows. This is something we’ve done a half dozen times - usually to culminate one of our re-watch series & always to complete each year of movie watching with our Mike, Mike & Oscars. So it’s hopefully something in our wheelhouse. But in any case, it’s a whole lot of fun to prepare & record, and we hope you like it. This is our fourth movie event on the year. We’ve done a deep dive into Midsommar, added to our Conjuring Universe series with a review of Annabelle Comes Home, and of course, we did a review of Spider-Man: Far From Home to stay on pace with our complete coverage of the MCU. There’s also 9 films & 12 episodes (with 3 two parters) in our 2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profiles playlist. The Farewell is our most recent entry into our OSP’s. So we’ve now covered 13 films in 2019 with many more to come. In fact, we’ll be reviewing Ready Or Not next week. Do let us know what you think of Good Boys. How does it rank with other films in this genre like Booksmart, Superbad & Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Give us your takes.

‘Hobbs and Shaw’ director David Leitch joins to talk about the challenges of adapting a successful franchise, his work on 'John Wick,' and the state of the action-comedy genre. Host: Sean Fennessey Guest: David Leitch
The second FULL episode is here, and it's only gone and become better than the first, innit?! There's another social media 'Drama!', 'Alexa' gets in on inappropriate coffee drinking and there's a brand new movie coming out, and we have the 'exclusive trailer'!! Also, really happy Dave's still gone.
Is the 6th Conjuring Universe film worth your time? Is it truly a movie event? Or just for hard core horror nerds like us? In any case, we have a lot of fun with this review of Annabelle Comes Home. What’s good is good, and what’s bad is still kind of awesomely bad. Making and Keeping Promises - Top of Show NONSPOILER REVIEW Cast and Crew - 2:45 Specs - 6:55 Plot Premise/Expectations - 10:24 Production Values: Sight - 13:22 Sound - 17:48 Performances - 20:54 Script Thoughts - 24:12 Spoiler Warning - 29:03 SPOILER REVIEW Nonspoiler Carryovers - 30:11 Worsts: Motivation Such An Aggravation - 36:16 Bests: Setups, Payoffs, BIG Scares - 39:22 Bests: Foreshadowing/Mouth Barfing - 42:45 Worsts: …in London - 45:32 Bests/Worsts: Ancillary Demons - 48:15 Finale Analysis - 50:18 Final Grades - 53:32 Your Homework/Our Social Medias - 54:49 Words of Wisdom/Coming Next From Us - 55:12 Yes, we promise things, like a shiny new movie event format. But life gets in the way, and Mikes can’t always agree on things after the first few production meetings. Should we probably make our programming announcements AFTER we settle on something new? Yes. Did we? No. So we’re doing our old Movie Event format for one more encore in this review of Annabelle Comes Home. The good news? We’re making a ton of progress on a new format. So stay tuned. As usual, there’s a non-spoiler section followed by a full spoiler review. We were pleasantly surprised by one of the core performances, and we were happy to report that even when there’s a sinkhole in the plot, or in the logic of that plot, we still have a fun time yelling at the screen. There’s a lot of bests & worsts to include as highlights and lowlights. But as movie event pods tend to do, we generate all kinds of fire in equal direction. In any case, we do come out on the positive side for this review. You can definitely chalk some of that up to us being big fans of horror and of The Conjuring Universe. So if you enjoyed this episode, make sure you go back to our other conjuring film reviews. We did cover all 5 previous James Wan productions in a mini-series re-watch last fall, and we did summon demons in the process. As always, we want to know what you think. Did this movie suck and we’re just too blinded by our fandom to see it? Or did you enjoy the film like we did, or in other ways than we did? Let us know.

It’s great, but is it an Oscars movie? We loved Avengers: Endgame like much of the known world, and before we study it further for one more special episode, we need to give you our first reactions with a non-spoiler section first. What is This Show? - Top of Show All MMO Endgame Preview Shows - 1:37 A Record Set Already - 3:03 NONSPOILER QUESTIONS: Space Stone Question - 4:15 (Best Avengers Movie Yet?) Reality Stone Question - 8:01 (Any Issues?) Power Stone Question - 10:38 (Does it Have Oscar Legs?)

The film is about to set as many records as there are superheroes in the story, and we do update you all atop this episode. Then we’ll have final tallies for you this Monday on MMOW. This is the first of what will be two review episodes on the movie. It’s our first reactions to Avengers: Endgame, and we couldn’t resist an Infinity Stone theme to the format. We ask each other 6 questions, each inspired by one of the Infinity Stones. Three are in a non-spoiler section, and the other three dive into full spoilers of the plot. But don’t worry, you’ll have a spoiler warning interlude to make sure you don’t listen beyond the break. The questions tease out our first impressions before we break down the film in greater detail in another special episode for next week. If you enjoyed this show, make sure you check out our recent back catalog. We just released a Top 5’s episode on the most anticipated movie events of our lives before Endgame. We also had two previews in as many weeks with our dead pool (No, Not that one.) where we debate who might live or die, and we did our damnedest in a Guess The Plot before that. There’s also coverage of Endgame in several trailer review shows, including several of the more recent MMO Weeklies. We also have covered the entire rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with a handy playlist on Soundcloud as well. You can hear our Oscar Sprint Profile & Movie Event reviews of Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War. Then we reviewed the other 17 previous films in 6 shows plus a ranking episode. What did you think of Endgame, and what outstanding questions do you still have coming out of it? Let us know.

We begin with one more Avengers: Endgame update, including our reactions to the critical reception numbers, new box office projections, the record breaking theater count, & of course, how we guess the Academy could receive this film in a post Black Panther landscape. Avengers Box Office/ Critical Reception / More Records - Top of Show (Including is This a Best Picture Contender - 2:17) What is This Episode? - 9:32 The Mikes Have Some Fun Stories About The Top 5 Most Anticipated Movie Events of Their Young Heroic Sexy Lives: 5s: Mike1 - 11:41 AlsoMike - 15:14 4s: Mike1 - 19:20 AlsoMike - 22:04 3s: Mike1 - 27:13 AlsoMike - 30:58 2s: Mike1 - 34:56 AlsoMike - 37:46 1s: Mike1 - 45:05 AlsoMike - 48:14 What’s Next/MMO ASKS (YOUR HOMEWORK) - 53:48 Words of Wisdom/Social Media - 56:16 We’ve loved watching movies since we were young enough to remember loving anything. Both Mikes have shared stories about their film watching & film going lives in the past, but this is a very special Top 5’s episode. For we are counting down the Most Anticipated Movie EVENTS of our young film addicted lives. Yes, we’re dating ourselves in this episode, and we are subject to the films released during our formative years. But this episode does mean a great deal to us, and more importantly, it allows us the chance to ask YOU for your stories as well. So do please send us your top 5’s, top 3’s, top 1’s - tell us the stories that formed your love for film & for the theatrical experience, and we’ll happily share some of your responses on MMOW. There’s no better time for this than now, when we have such a great chance to celebrate the movies with perhaps the event of the year in Avengers: Endgame. And that’s where we begin. This episode was planned for Endgame’s release day in lieu of our 2-3 part review. We had to react to the uproarious critical reception, the enhanced box office projections, eye popping theater count, and of course, we had to weigh in on the early Oscar buzz. That’s the first 8-9 minutes. If you’re just joining us, do check out our full coverage of the Endgame. We’ve already dropped 2 distinct preview episodes. First, we Guessed The Plot. Second, we completed our Dead Pool (no, not that one), where we debate who’ll live or die, and yes, we’ve reviewed ALL the films from the MCU in both a re-watch from last spring, and throughout our 2017-2018 Oscar Sprint Profile & Movie Event film review series. After our beginning with Avengers, it’s storytelling time. We each share 5 pivotal movie going stories to our film fandom. We hit on some game-changing blockbusters, some childhood memories, and in the process, we hope you’ll learn as much about us as we just learned about ourselves. These are personal stories. These are stories that have shaped the film critics we are today, and with a few exceptions, these are truly and thoroughly, joy filled times in our film loving lives. So we hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for our Avengers: Endgame coverage over the weekend & into next week. We’ll have a First Reactions episode for you planned for a Saturday release, and we’re debuting a new show format to do so. Then we’ll review Endgame with a deep dive episode like nothing you’ll be able to get anywhere else. We’ve booked a guest, and we’ve been hard at work to yet again give you a breakdown unique to us. But as always, we want to hear your feedback. Tell us what you think of Endgame, & do please share your most anticipated movie event stories.

No. Not that one. We guess who will live and who will die in the Endgame. There’s debate surrounding all your favorite Avengers. Should you say goodbye? How likely is it that they’ll survive? ***This Episode Contains Spoilers for Other MCU films including Infinity War*** How Does This Dead-Pool Work? - 1:46 Confirmed MCU Titles Post-Endgame - 3:37 ENDGAME DEAD-POOL The Original 6 - 5:52 (And a Plea WHERE WE NEED YOU! - 11:19) The Guardians of the Galaxy Heroes - 31:16 Black Panther Heroes - 42:14 Ant-Man Heroes - 48:11 The Remaining Heroes + Villains - 50:55 Multiple Choice Theory Questions - 1:00:47 Mike and I have debuted several new formats for our episodes. The Guess The Plot gimmick, where yes - we are 100% accurate in our own unique way, - these episodes for Captain Marvel, Us, and for this movie, Avengers: Endgame have been released to a lot of fanfare. We’ve also been pumping out MMO Interviews, & we’ve chatted about the next humongous movie event that is Star Wars Episode IX with Ken Napzok and Chris Reinacher. You have a new massive series re-watch of the Pixar films, where we’re diving into their 22 Rules of Screenwriting and the history of the Pixar company. And now, we use a new episode format to preview what's perhaps the biggest movie event of the last several years as we debate who will live or die in our Endgame Dead Pool (No, not that one). We ask questions of who will die, who should die, and what are the chances of them dying for each of your favorite marvel cinematic universe characters. Our predictions will surprise you, as we’re definitely not swimming with the current per usual. The result? This is one of our most thorough & lively conversations in the history of our podcast, and it’s a testament to the pull of this entire cinematic universe and the serialized storytelling that has brought us to this point. You won’t find something like this anywhere else on the web. Join us for our Avengers: Endgame dead pool, and yes, please tell your friends and send us your responses to what we outline here & what you think is gonna happen in this critical installment of the MCU. Last spring, we reviewed the entire Marvel Studios film series in an 8 pod arc culminating in a review of Avengers: Infinity War and a re-rank of our favorite films of the franchise. We’ve since added many episodes to this playlist (now on Soundcloud) with Oscar Sprint Profile & Movie Event review shows on Ant-Man and The Wasp, Captain Marvel, and previously, a 2 part review of Black Panther. We’ve covered each and every trailer for Avengers: Endgame either in their own episodes or during our MMO weekly variety show. Do stay tuned for our continuing coverage of Avengers: Endgame. We’ll go back in time in our movie watching lives to discuss the biggest Movie Events we’ve experienced in a Top 5’s episode. Then we’ll have some first reactions for you before the week is out as we debut yet another fun new format. Once the dust or the ash settles next week, we will do our deep dive(s). There’s at least 1 massive episode planned, and we may have to make it a 2 parter. Hopefully, there’s a guest host or at least a guest spot involved. We’ve tentatively booked one of our favorite comedians to join us. So yes, stay tuned. Everyone in the podiverse may be reviewing this film, but nobody is gonna cover it like MMO. Tell us your predictions on who’ll live & die, and we’ll have some fun audience interaction posts on Twitter this week for you to enjoy.

Mike 1 out does himself as he sings a parody of perhaps still the most recognizable song from the series at large, and boy, does he live large in this song. What a ham / gotta love him. We had a blast once again reviewing 2 more Pixar films, Monsters Inc. & Monsters University. As advertised, we shall take on the pixar rewatch somewhat out of order so that we can discuss the separate franchises in one sitting, and then next major franchise of the series after the Toy Story films are these Monsters movies. So it’s fitting that we reboot our rewatch with these two thoroughly entertaining and heartwarming tales about monsters becoming and staying friends. The format of these episodes sticks to our tried & true movie review structure that we’ve come to follow for all our Oscar Sprint Profiles, Movie Event, & Retrospective reviews. There’s a non-spoiler section complete with a production profile of cast & crew, movie specs, production nuggets, and spoiler free reviews of the production values, performances, and script. Then we have a spoiler warning dance musical interlude before we break down the plots in full during our spoiler section. But we also have added several important segments to this rewatch series. In the non-spoiler section, we dive into the state of the Pixar company and discuss the environment at the time of production going into the making-of these films. In the spoiler section, we discuss 2 more rules in the 22 Rules of Pixar Storytelling, and we also have a terrific chat about all of the moments that warmed our hearts by breaking them first and of course, all the moments that just made us super happy in segment we’re calling Heartbreaks & Happiness. We finish with some more Best & Worst scenes in the spoiler section, and yes, we also talk about how both films played to the Academy in our non-spoiler Oscar Lens. Throughout the journey though, we also have a blast dissecting how Pixar tells their unique and uniquely entertaining stories. This rewatch has been a joy to prepare and record thus far, and we hope you have half as much fun as we are when you listen. As always, let us know what you think.

We did a full series on the entire Marvel Cinematic last spring. This year, we wanted to both hit our brand of Oscar films, while also staying current by previewing you for what will be a huge movie event with the next Toy Story. We also get to learn from both the Pixar business model & production story AND the 22 Rules of Pixar Storytelling, well known and studied by screenwriters around the world as a few added segments to these reviews. In this episode, we begin where it all started for computer generated feature film animation, in Andy’s Room with 1995’s Toy Story. As promised, Mike 1 chronicles the early history of the Pixar brand, how it got off the ground at Lucasfilm, with steward Steve Jobs, and how they eventually found their home at Disney to make this inaugural Oscar winning film. We otherwise follow some familiar formatting, as you’ve come to know & love with our Oscar Sprint Profile, Movie Event, & Retrospective film reviews. There’s a non-spoiler section filled with the background & behind the scenes information followed by a non-spoiler review of the production values, performances, script, & Oscar Lens before we dive into the plot in a spoiler section forewarned by some dance music. Then once we begin that spoiler section, we debut our 22 Rules of Screenwriting segment and go over Rule No. 1, followed by two more unique additions of Heartbreaks and Happiness, AKA, where this cartoon film managed to tug on our heart-strings and then why it made us so happy. There’s still a look into some more of our bests and worsts, and we further break down why the screenplay is so very special before we complete the review & let you know what’s coming next in the series. Hint, we won’t always go in order. But don’t worry cuz there be monsters. As always, let us know what you think. Which moments broke your heart & made you the most happy?

All the previewing you could ever need. ***This Episode Discusses Other MCU Movies*** We don’t get into all the details of Avengers: Infinity War, but you can certainly take what we say into spoiler territory pretty quickly. So our allusions kinda spoil things. Also, without seeing Captain Marvel or without reading the comics, we guess its plot. Where Captain Marvel Seems to Fit in the MCU/2019 - 1:25 Cast and Crew - 3:47 Our Biggest Concern - 6:17 The Mikes’ 100% Accurate Plot Guesses of Captain Marvel: AlsoMike’s Take - 9:15 Mike1’s Take - 16:51 A More Serious Discussion - 20:59 WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK AND THIS WILL TELL YOU HOW - 25:19 Captain Marvel is easily the biggest movie event of the new year, and might be the most important film in the last 6 to 8 to 10 months. It’s a huge moment for the MCU and for blockbuster filmmaking in general. We’re certainly cheering it on, but we also have concerns with the marketing campaigns. There are definitely some red flags in the trailers, and we also recognize the high degree of difficulty that the film must take on itself. Captain Marvel has to launch a new hero and franchise while also satisfying audiences after the Infinity War. So of course, we needed one more substantive discussion on what we could and should expect with this new MCU film debuting this week. On the heels of the Oscars, the new HBO docs, and since the stakes are so high for this movie, the Mikes needed to unwind a little bit and flex their creative muscles. Therefore, we decided to spend the latter half of the preview guessing the plot of Captain Marvel. It was a fun exercise, and we hope it’s a fun listen. Stay tuned for our full movie review of Captain Marvel, which we’ll drop ASAP after we see it this Thursday. It’ll be the first Oscars Sprint Profile or Movie Event of 2019, and there’s a lot more coming. Last year, we put up near 50 episodes of this kind, and if we continue to build on our totals, we’ll probably top that number this year. The 2019 film year is in full swing after those Oscars. We just previewed all of the likely contenders for red carpets come next February with our two part series of the Way Too Early 2020 Oscar Predictions. Then we reviewed several new Netflix films on our last MMOW including The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind and Paddleton. As always, let us know what you think.

Clayton Davis is the Godfather of Our Show, & so many others. ***This is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** Introduction/Did He Survive Oscar Week - 3:26 Biggest Cheer of the Night - 7:13 The Latino Entertainment Journalists Association - 8:47 (Along with the Creation of Awards Circuit - 13:06) What Made This Awards Season So Unknown? - 18:36 Which Unknown Did He Solve Early? - 22:50 (And The History Made By Best Picture - 26:17) The Best Actress Shock - 28:18 And What Glenn Close Does Next - 31:32 Spike Lee’s Big Night - 34:43 (And His Reaction to Green Book - 35:31) Release the Voting?! - 37:45 Previewing His Year in Advance Column/Picks - 39:37 Circuit Hub + Circuit Center - 42:21 THEN Clayton Pitches Us the Worst Movie Ever - 43:52 Thank YOU/Social Media/Words of Wisdom - 48:25 Clayton Davis is the Editor & Owner of Awards Circuit, and we’ve often referenced his picks & projections at The Circuit Hub during our OSPs & Oscar Race Updates throughout the year. He’s certainly one of our Go-To experts to read at AC and listen to at his Circuit Breaker Podcast. We recommend all our MMO’ers join the wonderful community of film lovers at Awards Circuit. You’ll be happy you did. Clayton is also the Founder & President of the newly formed Latino Entertainment Journalists Association, and we were lucky enough to ask him about both of these terrific groups of movie people atop our show. He’s truly one of the pioneers in this business, & in our opinion, one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining interviews we could possibly get. A sincere thanks, once again to Clayton and Awards Circuit for chatting with us. Of course, we asked Clayton to analyze some of the bigger moments at Sunday’s Academy Awards. We also made sure to talk to him about his career & origins int he business. Here, he told some of his story about the formations of both Awards Circuit and LEJA, as well as some fun tidbits about how he spends his Oscar Night and some of his favorite traditions. Then prepare to have your minds blown because Clayton lays out some analysis on the new academy, and he breaks down the history of our favorite awards show like only he could.

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.

#AllTheHorror #WiHMx #BloodDrive #RedCross ***This Retrospective on American Psycho has a Spoiler Section*** Show Intro and Who We Are - Top of Show Why American Psycho? - 4:45 What is an MMO Movie Event Episode? - 6:31 NON-SPOILER REVIEW: Cast and Crew and Why We Love Mary Harron So Much - 7:17 Story Inception & If Leo Mania Got Too Powerful- 17:01 Specs / How Audiences Influence Critics Who Influence Audiences - 25:27 Original & Re-Watch Expectations - 30:21 Production Values - 32:57 Performances/Oscars Lens - 36:13 Final Script Thoughts - 41:13 Social Media Reminders - 42:24 Spoiler Warning Dance Break - 41:13 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW The Mikes’ Working Paradigms - 44:35 90’s/00’s Serial Killer Genre - 47:14 Best Scenes: (Business Card Exchange - 49:08) (Frat Bros’ Universe - 50:46) (Paul Allen & The News - 54:07) (The Genius and Joy of Mary Harron - 55:43) Touching On Worsts, Questions, and Act 3 - 1:03:21 Should Any of it Matter? - 1:07:23 Final Grades - 1:10:57 Outro/Social Media Redux/Words of Wisdom - 1:13:28 We’re not just an Oscars pod. MMO has and will continue to be a year round film appreciation podcast, and we love to love all kinds of movies, especially those we wish could be Oscar films like this long time favorite, American Psycho. Since it’s Women In Horror Month, and since we had such a great time with our first collaboration with the #AllTheHorror brand, we’re thrilled to join such an awesome group of podcasts, blogs, and horror genre lovers once again with this new celebration. Throughout the history of our show, we’ve covered movie news whether we react to breaking stories, do a monthly Hollywood Hot Takes episode, or as we’ve done lately, kept you up to date on a more regular basis with our DYC / Story of the Week segments on MMO Weekly. We’ve been shocked and saddened by the lack of awarded female filmmakers, in particular with last year’s Golden Globes and certainly, with this entire award seasons’ “all male nominees.” Then as Jason Blum exacerbated the problem by speaking out of his ass a few months back about women not wanting to direct horror films, Mary Harron’s American Psycho stood out as the most obvious and excellent of rebuttals. So #WiHMx seemed like the perfect time to tackle this retrospective. On MMO, we love our movie review format whether it be an OSP (Oscar Sprint Profile), Movie Event, or retrospective. In any case, the structure of each episode offers two reviews for the price of one. We do an entire non-spoiler presentation including segments on the Cast & Crew bios & filmographies, the behind the scenes production stories, all of the numbers / awards / premiere dates, etc. in our Specs, and then we discuss the film’s production values, performances, & script without any plot details. You then get some spoiler warning dance music, and we break down the plot in all of its glorious, or in this case, in all of its gory detail in our spoiler section. Here, we discuss all our best & worst scenes, how they told the story in a technical sense, and then culminate the section with some final grades. As always, let us know what you think. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / follow / rate / review / share & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Tune In, Google Play, Spotify & just about wherever you enjoy podcasts. And don’t forget to enjoy the rest of #AllTheHorror & the #WiHMx lineup here: https://twitter.com/AllTheHorror18 & here: http://promotehorror.com/2019/01/30/all-the-horror-presents-women-in-horror-month/ When reality sucks, watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
An Unprecedented Situation. ***This is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** As we must do, we make some general allusions to plot movements throughout these films. But we do try our very best and succeed in avoiding full spoilers. Though investigations can be made by some of our clues to what happens. So beware if you’re allergic to that. Intro / What’s a Category Review - Top of the Show Snubs - 1:44 BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS CATEGORY OVERVIEW Amy Adams, Vice Why She’ll Win - 12:13 Why She Won’t - 17:15 Marina de Tavira, Roma Why She’ll Win - 21:00 Why She Won’t - 25:15 Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk Why She’ll Win - 26:16 Why She Won’t - 30:15 Emma Stone, The Favourite Why She’ll Win - 33:15 Why She Won’t - 38:48 Rachel Weisz, The Favourite Why She’ll Win - 43:09 Why She Won’t - 47:14 Perfecting Perfection Re-Rank - 49:00 Outro/Words of Wisdom/Social Media - 54:45 We conclude our reviews of the 4 acting categories with this episode on Best Supporting Actress. This show also works as one final preview of the BAFTA’s, which will happen this Sunday, and which we’ll recap for you on Monday with MMO Weekly. The supporting actress category has been and continues to be one of the most intriguing of the Oscars Race. There’s a strange and unlikely fact of Regina King winning the Critics Associations, Globe, and Choice awards before somehow not getting nominated for the SAG or BAFTA. Then of course, we have 5 of the better performances of the year to debate. It’s a loaded year, and quite the category, and MMO is all over it. The format is simple, tried, & true. We discuss the snubs after our intro, and then we breakdown each nominee’s chances with arguments for and against them winning. Amy Adams has the narrative and the Academy politics on her side. Marina De Tavira will probably be in the most awarded film of the night and has a performance on the rise in people’s perceptions (including ours). Regina King has narratives in her favor, as well as stats. But her unprecedented situation draws worries from us both, before we calm ourselves with a discussion of her tremendous performance. Then again, Regina may not win because of both those roles in The Favourite. Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz acted the hell out of their parts in one of our best films and one of the Academy’s most nominated on the year. We offer new takes on why these performances might rival King’s at both the BAFTA’s and back across the pond at the Oscars. If you enjoy this category review, we’ve already released many others including Best Original Song, Supporting Actor, Lead Actress, Animated Feature, and Lead Actor. We’ll also weigh in upon the Screenplays, Director, and Picture before Oscar night. We’ve also reviewed nearly all of the films in these categories in our OSP’s, and we now have nearly fifty 2018 movie reviews in our Oscar Sprint Profile and Movie Event series. Our MMO Weekly episodes give you a race update and recap all of the big award show precursors on our regularly scheduled variety show. Then we also have many special presentations including retrospectives, interviews, MMO made up Award Shows, and many Oscar off-season episodes reviewing and dissecting all our favorite series of films. As always, let us know what you think. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we’re on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / share & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you enjoy podcasts. Then as awards season comes to a climactic finale, don’t forget our slogan. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re a year round movie appreciation and review podcast, and we thank you for listening.
The Best Race of all the Categories Perhaps. ***This is a Non-Spoiler Episode*** In the sense of a story teller, we may do some winks and nods and foreshadowing of the plot twists from these movies with what we talk about, but I don’t think we explicitly state any spoilers. Best Lead Actor Category Review: Intro / What’s a Category Review - Top of the Show Snubs - 1:50 Christian Bale, Vice Why He’ll Win - 15:24 Why He Won’t - 19:39 Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born Why He’ll Win - 25:17 Why He Won’t - 31:58 Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate Why He’ll Win - 38:14 Why He Won’t - 40:46 Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody Why He’ll Win - 44:07 Why He Won’t - 50:10 Viggo Mortensen, Green Book Why He’ll Win - 52:58 Why He Won’t - 55:57 Perfecting Perfection Re-Rank - 59:12 Outro/Words of Wisdom/Social Media - 1:02:32 This is our Best Lead Actor Category Review, and usually, this rhetorical exercise requires we stretch our imaginations to argue for some of the contenders and nominees. But we do have quite the race at the center of this category between Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek and Christian Bale from Vice. Then we have one of our collective favorite performances of the year with Bradley Cooper from A Star Is Born also in the field here. So it’s a loaded review from the Mikes of Oscar on the Lead Actor nominees. We’ve come to love and flourish in this format, which is pretty simple. There’s an intro followed by a list of who we think are the snubs of the nomination process. Then we breakdown each actor’s chances of why they will and will not win the Oscar. It’s a rhetorical exercise only for the mightiest or kookiest of awards season pundits, and we happily expand our minds for your audible pleasure. This is the 5th Oscar Category review of 9 eventual episodes (we think / we hope) that we’ll release before the Academy Awards. You can go back and listen to our Best Original Song, Supporting Actor, Lead Actress, and Animated Feature shows to enjoy more of this format. We’ve also reviewed near 50 (now) films with our Oscar Sprint Profile and Movie Event film review series. MMO Weekly is our regularly scheduled variety show that allows us to cover every weekend’s awards show results, and there’s an Oscar Race segment in each of those episodes. Then we also have some MMO special presentations of retrospectives, interviews, and of course, other reviews and previews of the biggest moments of this Awards Season for you to enjoy in that massive back catalog of yours. Still, we enjoy reviewing and appreciating movies year round. Our show has done full series on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Conjuring Films, Mission Impossibles, and the entire Halloween Franchise thus far. We’re planning long looks at Fast & Furious and the films of Pixar to name a few in the year to come, and we’ll certainly continue our focus on new releases in the MCU with the upcoming Captain Marvel, Avengers: End Game, and Spider-Man: Far From Home releases from Disney in the coming spring. Then if you like how we cover horror films, we will be diving into another new classic for the All The Horror & their Women In Horror Month special event this February with a review of Mary Harron’s American Psycho starring Oscar favorite, Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman. So do stay tuned for that. Let us know what you think. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

Plus Avengers, A New Batman? #SixDegreesOfMMO, DGAs, & Super Bowl Reax! ***This is a Spoiler Free Episode*** Though we do break down all of the Super Bowl Movie Trailers & TV Spots. So we will be discussing those scenes & potential plot details including some light Infinity War allusions. Intro / Why a Humpday Version of MMO Weekly/Super Sunday Thoughts - Top of the Show Trailer Thoughts: Avengers: Endgame - 6:37 Hobbs and Shaw - 9:38 Captain Marvel - 13:25 Us - 15:23 Toy Story 4 - 15:59 What We’re Watching : AlsoMike - 17:14 Mike1 - 23:54 #SixDegreesOfMMO: Last Round Recap - 26:10 New Challenge - 30:08 Box Office Update - 31:48 Do You Care: (About the Potential New Batman - 34:39) (About Movies Coming Out Next Week - 38:34) (About High Flying Bird - 41:36) Oscar Race Update: No Oscars Host - 44:09 DGA Awards - 46:08 Annie Awards - 52:38 ACE Eddie Awards - 54:04 Art Directors Guild - 56:12 Outro/Social Media/Words of Wisdom - 59:05 Scheduling conflicts forced us to record your MMO Weekly for a humpday release, but it’s still a loaded episode full of trailer thoughts, tv & movie reviews, #SixDegreesOfMMO, box office analysis, hollywood hot takes, and of course, that Oscar Race Update. We begin the show with all kinds of coverage of the Super Bowl, from the game to the commercials, from the half-time show to the movie trailers, and then we close out the episode with reactions to the latest awards shows including the DGAs. When the work week sucks, enjoy this MMOW humpday edition with us. It’s Mike, Mike, and Oscar Weekly! After dishing our professional opinions on the game itself, we wonder if the downfall of TV is inevitable after those lackluster commercials and that bizarre halftime show. Then we cover all the biggest movie trailers & TV spots in Trailer thoughts. Avengers: End Game, Hobbs & Shaw, Captain Marvel, Jordan Peele’s Us, and Toy Story 4 debuted new previews for us to break down, and without plot spoilers from previous films, we discuss how we’re feeling about next year’s slate of upcoming blockbusters. In audience interaction, we were amazed by your latest responses for #SixDegreesOfMMO. The Box Office was an all time flop, but Hollywood News about a new Batman and the Netflix schedule of a new Steven Soderbergh film has us caring in DYC. Then we update you on the Oscar Race with our reactions to the DGAs, Annie’s, ACE Eddies, & ADG Awards, which could affect the Best Director, Animated Feature, Editing, Production Design, and YES, the Best Picture race come red carpet time. There’s plenty more fun upcoming on the schedule as well. We have more interviews, Oscar category reviews, one more OSP, a fun diversion back into the horror genre with a retrospective, and of course, plenty more previews of the Academy’s big night all on the way. Do go back and enjoy our catalog of episodes to catch up on all the coverage thus far. We now have well over forty movie review episodes in our Oscar Sprint Profile & Movie Event series. We’ve done overviews of the Best Animated Feature, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor, and Original Song categories with 5 more shows to come in that series. Our interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan of College Humor is still a major highlight of our show’s history, and we urge you to check that one out. We’ve recently done horror film retrospectives on The Conjuring Universe, both Suspiria films, and the entire Halloween franchise, and much more. When reality sucks, you’ve been watching so many movies with us, and we thank you for making January our best month in the history of our show. As always, let us know what you think.

We love to love movies, just not this one. ***This Review of At Eternity’s Gate Has a Spoiler Section*** The first half is non-spoilers. Then after some spoiler warning dance music, we dive into the plot. What is an OSP - 1:49 At Eternity’s Gate Non-Spoiler Review: Cast and Crew - 2:42 Story Inception - 6:47 Specs - 8:56 Plot Premise/Expectations - 11:47 Production Values - 13:44 Performances - 20:29 Script Thoughts - 27:02 Watch/Don’t - 29:05 Spoiler Warning Dance Party - 29:39 Mike1’s Disdain/Worst Scenes - 31:22 (On the Nose Doesn’t Describe It - 32:35) (VG Unhinged - 35:11) Best Scenes - 37:48 (Positive Reviews - 41:08) Final Grades - 44:28 Outro / Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 45:46 We love to love movies, but not this one. For the vast majority of our Oscar Sprint Profiling / Movie Reviewing lives, we get to be positive about the films we review. That was not the case with this one. What can we say? We call em’ like we see em.’ Though in all its tough lovin,’ film critical glory, here’s our eviscerating video of Willem Dafoe’s Oscar Nominated turn as Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate. As usual, we begin with some early banter surrounding the cast & crew, production backstory, movie specs, and plot / premise to begin our non-spoiler review. Then we dive into our plot-less look at the production values, performances, and script before the spoiler warning dance music plays. Then it’s a full blown discussion of all story details including our best & worst scenes of the film. There are over forty other 2018 movies reviewed thus far in either our Oscar Sprint Profile or Movie Event playlists now on Soundcloud. A final OSP on Cold War will complete this year’s set on major award nominees. We’ve also reviewed 3 of the major categories at the Academy Awards with more to come as we plan to cover at least 9 of these in their own episodes before the big night. Let us know what you thought. Did you happen to enjoy At Eternity’s Gate? We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

Plus a Snubs Named Toni & Not Named Toni Discussion. ***This is a Spoiler Free Episode*** We talk about some Oscar Reel Scenes in broad strokes. So if you’re allergic to hints and generalizations, then perhaps beware. Otherwise, we avoid any plot spoilers. Intro / The Knicks Trade KP / You Don’t Care - Top of the Show Best Actress Snubs - 1:53 Glenn Close, The Wife: Why She’ll Win - 12:41 Why She Won’t - 18:15 Yalitza Aparicio, Roma: Why She’ll Win - 21:10 Why She Won’t - 23:11 Olivia Colman, The Favourite: Why She’ll Win - 26:25 Why She Won’t - 32:07 Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born: Why She’ll Win - 36:05 Why She Won’t - 40:57 Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Why She’ll Win - 46:12 Why She Won’t - 48:55 Perfecting Perfection AKA Our Re-Rank of the Nominees - 52:36 (W/ More Intriguing Questions) Outro / Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 59:08 It’s our Best Actress Category Overview! Glenn Close is finally having HER year, or is she? Lady Gaga turned in one of the best musical performances of the decade, but will she win? Olivia Colman delivers as much range and intrigue as any actress in the past several years, but she’s not showing up to award shows? Yalitza was teaching pre-school, and now she’s nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Then if Melissa McCarthy got an Oscar Nom for enthusiastically shitting into a sink, she’s gonna win an honorary EGOT for forging literary letters, right??!! We breakdown each of these nominees, making the case for and against their chances of winning. It’s a rhetorical exercise only the greatest minds could make plausible, and we’re are far from said heads. So what you’re left with… is another batshit episode of Mike, Mike, and Oscar. And of course - YES, we have a major discussion on the snubs of this category, both those named Toni and those not named Collette. Check out our previous category overviews on Lady Gaga’s Best Original Song and Mahershala’s Best Supporting Actor nominees. We also have Oscar Sprint Profiles for the films of each of this Best Lead Actresses, and you can check out over forty 2018 movie reviews in both our OSP & Movie Event playlists on Soundcloud. Do let us know what you think of this category or comment about any of the many recent MMO episodes we’ve been releasing fast & furious in the recent weeks leading up to Oscar’s big night.

***This OSP of The Favourite has a Spoiler Section*** Intro / What’s an OSP? - Top of the Show Non-Spoiler Review of The Favourite Cast & Crew & Thomas the Tank Engine - 2:19 Production Notes & Why Churchill should get a writing credit - 9:18 Movie Specs - 17:48 An Excellent Premise & Our Expectations or lack thereof - 24:46 Production Values - 28:13 Performances & Script Thoughts - 36:16 Watch or Don’t - 37:24 Oscars Lens - 42:28 Spoiler Warning Dance Music - 44:53 SPOILER - FILLED REVIEW Plot Overview/Starting at the End - 46:55 Best Scenes - 54:43 Worst Scene - 56:42 (Who Sarah Really Is - 57:22) More Bests - 58:29 Final Thoughts & Grades - 1:07:41 Outro/ Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 1:10:15 From the critical reception to the precursors to the film itself, the Favourite feels like one of the most Oscar-y movies of the year and one of the safest bets come nomination time. Perhaps that’s why this was one of the easier and smoothest recording sessions in our history. Or maybe we just took our cue from great screenplay of The Favourite. In any case, we thoroughly enjoyed this conversation about one of the year’s best. Our non-spoiler review covers a lot of ground as we offer filmographies of Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Coleman, who all seem to be contenders. Then we dive into our reviews of the production values, which if they aren’t yet contenders, we think they probably should be. There’s also a ton of history to analyze both in terms of the production notes and the production process as Yorgos Lanthimos distinguishes himself from his previous films to deliver perhaps his most palatable, if not most polished film to date. The spoiler section kicks off with an awkward joke, as they tend to do. Then we dive into many of our best scenes, the one we shared as our worst, and of course, we break down the final scenes. Now if you’re keeping score at home, we actually failed to mention one of our Best Scenes of the Year that we mentioned on Wednesday’s halfisode. So go back and enjoy that discussion as we kick ourselves now. But it just goes to show you how many great scenes we wanted to talk about in the episode. It’s our 30th Oscars Sprint Profile on the year, and do go back to our massive catalog in order to plan your next movie night, or nights as you prepare to bone up on all your Oscar contenders before Hollywood’s big night now less than two months away. We also have a ton of preview episodes and award season updates and primers, not the least of which, we bring to you on a weekly basis with our new variety show MMOW. Although we love everything Oscar related, our podcast does enjoy taking a detour whenever the mood strikes. We cover plenty of blockbusters in our Movie Event series as well as some of our favorite movie series like the MCU, Mission Impossibles, Conjuring films, Halloween Franchise, and we just finished reviewing 3 of our beloved childhood Christmas films this past month as we led you through the holidays by way of memory lane. Bottom Line: we’re having a ton of fun, and we thank you for listening. Let us know what you think of this movie or any of the many others. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and our show is available wherever you may listen to podcasts.

Some big picture Best Picture Oscar theories. ***This Oscar Sprint Profile on Vice has a Spoiler Section*** Intro / What’s an OSP? / How We Prepared For This One - Top of the Show Cast & Crew & Inside Christian Bale’s Living Room - 2:23 Story Inception & Production Notes & Flu Inspired Stories - 9:38 Movie Specs & Some Best Picture Numbers That Don’t Make Sense - 13:07 Plot / Premise & The Curious Case of Dick Cheney - 16:35 Oscar Lens Magnified Throughout Non-Spoiler Review: Some big picture Best Picture Oscar theories - 21:02 Best Director, Liberal Hero Adam McKay - 25:28 Review of Performances led by Bale & Adams - 29:23 The Rest of the Categories & the rest of the Critics - 32:26 Spoiler Warning Dance Music - 36:25 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW Watch or Don’t Watch Carryover - 37:34 Best Scenes - 51:56 Worst Scenes Recap - 56:51 Final Grades - 59:24 Outro / Social Media / Words of Wisdom - 1:01:55 Adam McKay’s Vice has become the most polarizing film of the season. Most Oscar experts predict the film will be nominated for a bunch of awards. The Golden Globes, Critics Choice, and SAG’s then affirmed those predictions by including Vice in their field of nominees. Now in a shocking turn of events, the rest of the movie critic community weighed in upon this film, and all the scores plummeted. WTF happened? We may begin this normal Oscar Sprint Profile the same way with cast & crew filmographies, story production notes, and movie specs. But we dive into several rabbit holes of substantive conversation including some politics, film theory, and of course, Oscar prognostication. If ever there was an opportunity, if ever there was a year, if ever there was a podcast to dive into these weighty topics, it was this episode of MMO, and we did our best to approach these topics with as much honesty and integrity as we could bring to the podcast table. Hot takes flew fast & furious from our admittedly partisan lips, but we also tried to think big picture about this Best Picture contender. The result - we didn’t necessarily break this movie down in as much detail as we have done in other OSPs. Though we tried to make up for any lack in film criticism by addressing these incredibly important topics. This is our 29th OSP. Go to our Soundcloud account for a handy playlist where we have grouped them all together. There’s also a 2018 Movie Event playlist, and we review another half dozen films or so every Monday on MMO Weekly. Of course, we also have several fun series of reviews including our coverage of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Halloween Franchise, Conjuring films, Mission Impossible movies, and most recently, our Very Merry MMO Holiday Movie Reviews where we reviewed 3 childhood Christmas favorites. So if you’ve seen & loved or have loved to hate a film in 2018, or if you’re deciding whether or not to watch one of these awards season contenders, or if you’re just planning your next movie night, do check out our massive catalog. Let us know what you think. We are Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, where we’ve loving all our recent audience interactions.

Our review of The Wife is why. The production profile lays the groundwork for our review as usual. Could this finally be the year for Glenn Close to win her first Oscar? We recap all of her Awards history during the cast & crew, share what was definitely her missed calling, and then we cover perhaps the best / worst Dad Joke maybe ever. Our breakdown of the numbers, reviews of the production values and the script - it all orbits around the remarkable performance at the center of this film. After we give you your money’s worth in the non-spoiler section, there’s a musical interlude to warn you of spoilers, and it’s go-time. We give you the full plot details, mentioning a few worst scenes before harkening back to many more of the better ones. Where will this film rank in our year at large? Will this performance fight off all the oncoming Best Actress hopefuls? There’s certainly a lot to talk through between Mikes. This is our 16th Oscar Sprint Profile or Movie Event in 2018. We’ve also previewed the rest of the Oscar Contenders in our recent Hollywood Hot Takes episode recapping the buzz coming out of the Fall Film Festivals. We’ve also released 4 episodes covering the Oscar Contender Trailers. Then don’t forget our monthly overviews of theatrical releases, with our October episode coming soon. Our Oscar coverage breaks for some fun diversions into The Conjuring Universe, MCU, and Mission Impossible films. We’ve also enjoyed many an Oscar Retrospective, looking back at movie history from Best Pictures to Original Songs. So if you’ve liked our other programming tendencies thus far, you may love what we have in store for the rest of the month, including a Halloween themed Oscar Retrospective. Do chat with us on social media. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. We are at MMandOscar on Twitter.

***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.
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!
After a 2+ month hiatus, Billy and Devo are back with more sports and manliness! In our intro this week we catch people up with what's happened during our time away as well as touch on some upcoming vacations. As we move on to sports, we take a look at the NHL and NBA playoffs, and take a look at a recent incoming transfer for USF and how the Bulls did in the NFL Draft. After sports we move on to talk about movies, including the upcoming Solo and Deadpool 2. And at 53:45 we venture into Movie Event of the Decade territory. ***SPOILER ALERT*** From this point on, we're discussing the events of Avengers: Infinity War. If you have not seen the movie and don't want it spoiled (what are you doing with your life?), than we'd recommend skipping this segment.

***This Episode Has a Spoiler Section*** The first (55) minutes of our All The Money In The World Oscar Sprint Profile are Spoiler Free, we dance like children of the night, and then it’s time for our full MMO spoiler filled review, which lasts (24) minutes. The Kevin Spacey Recasting Story Timeline - 4:26 The Wahlberg / Williams Wage Gap Controversy - 11:34 Cast & Crew Filmographies - 21:38 Ridley Scott Christopher Plummer Michelle Williams Movie Specs Non Spoilers Review: Review of Production Values - 36:11 Performances - 43:40 Final Thoughts - 53:32 Spoiler Music - 54:44 Spoiler-Filled Review: A Serious Question - 56:02 Breaking Down the Story - 1:04:30 Best/Worst Scenes - 1:12:19 Grades - 1:14:46 Final Final Thoughts - 1:16:14 This is our Oscar Sprint Profile for All the Money in the World. We sing, we rap, we quote SNL skits… we’re triple threats! And it’s a kooky intro, as we usually do before we have to discuss serious subjects. The Kevin Spacey sexaul assault allegations are certainly that, and we go through a timeline on the accusations and industry reactions. This timeline then leads into our coverage of the production and re-production of Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World. We chronicle the Times Up / Golden Globes backlash to the wage gap story regarding Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg’s salaries paid out and eventually, paid forward, and we offer Cast & Crew filmographies for director Ridley Scott, writer David Scarpa, and stars Christopher Plummer Michelle Williams, and (sort of) Mark Wahlberg. We giggle like idiots with several digressions down rabbit holes into a Wonderland of corny jokes. You love us. Also, please love us. In the movie specs section, we break down whether or not the recasting could have possibly salvaged the film’s destiny. Then we dive headlong into our non-spoiler review of the technical mastery of the production values, some of the Oscar worthy performances, and how NOT to portray spies in film. Hint, don’t cast Mark Wahlberg as a secret agent man. (Aren’t you glad I put that song in your head now? You are? So am I.) The movie has its highs and lows, and we flush them out in both the spoiler and preceding non-spoiler reviews of the film. The script is strong, but could it have been stronger? We create a writer’s room of two here and bang out what we think would have been a better story. Here’s us looking forward to how Danny Boyle is gonna tell the story in the upcoming Mini-Series. The Oscar Sprint Profile series is completed with this episode. We’ve now reviewed each of the nominated films from the Acting categories, Best Original Screenplay, Director, and Picture. Hopefully our backlog of episodes are enjoyable beyond the season, and you can listen on demand and at your convenience. Do please help us spread the word about our show. Tell a friend or perhaps give us a few clicks online. Our audience has been growing, and we appreciate all the help making that happen. Feel free to chat with us on social media. We’re on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, reddit, and email. We always love to talk about movies. Thanks for listening, and do stay tuned. We’ll be reviewing each of those Big 7 Oscar Categories, and we’ll break for a Movie Event pod on Marvel’s Black Panther. Here’s looking forward to it. When reality sucks, watch movies with us.
Here's my DJ set from Friday night's Something Weird event at Rendezvous, an amazing night where they show movies, sell advance copies of genre DVDs and have loads of film oriented events with many DJs playing soundtrack music of every kind... Join us on Friday, December 8th, for our NINTH annual Holiday extravaganza! We are planning to get WEIRD with this one, as we will be screening Something Weird Video VHS tapes accompanied by the sounds of Intoxica Radio ’s Howie Pyro!! We cannot begin to tell you how thrilled we are to have Mr. Pyro make his RENDEZVOUS debut. Many of the tapes screening will be from his personal collection, which we are super excited about. We will also be celebrating the brand NEW release of “Intoxica Radio with Howie Pyro” - a double-cassette out NOW on Origin Peoples. This is a 180-minute creepfest oozing with gory garage gems, kiddie ditties gone wrong, spooky soul stomps, ghoulish go-go, vintage TV and radio schlock, and pulsating punk nightmares. It’s a must-have for the Holiday season and would make a lovely gift as well. Copies will be available for purchase at the party. Of course Two Headed Dog will be there as well with their beautifully curated selection of records as well. The festivities start at 8PM! See you at the Hyperion Tavern!
