Or if that phone number from every movie doesn’t exist, and/or if it is a direct line to Tommy Wiseau’s apartment, do instead contact us on social media: FaceBook - Mike, Mike, and Oscar Instagram - MikeMikeAndOscar Twitter - MMandOscar Email: [e-mail] Our Production Profile covers the filmography of The Shape of Water writer/director, Guillermo Del Toro and offers a miniature bio of Sally Hawkins, unofficial queen of Britannia. Mike No. 1 does his best impression of an auctioneer as he lists off all of the awards, and Also Mike showcases a shocking lack of knowledge for games of video. The Non-Spoiler Review discusses the production values and flushes out the water from all the pleasant looking shapes. We gush over the irresistible and undeniable talent of the supporting cast and the film’s lead, Sally Hawkins. Our Spoiler Section might be one of our better debates and conversations in the history of our podcast. We cover the best, worst, and Oscar-reel scenes, we have the epic Mer-People vs Fish debate, and although we forget to give our final grades, we both somehow give it a B/86 - B+/87 at this point. Stay tuned for further Oscar Sprint Profiles and coverage of the Award Season to hear where we eventually land on this movie in comparison to the rest of the field. We do suspect that our feelings will evolve with future re-watches and consideration. Please contact us on social media and weigh in on our debate with a metaphorical swipe to the right or left regarding Doug Jones’ amphibian man. Do follow, subscribe, message, review, repost, retweet and share to help us spread the word about our podcast. Our few clicks or a few minutes of your time to repost our stuff on your social media could do wonders to help us. As always, thanks for listening. Do stay tuned for more Oscar Sprint Profiles coming at you every few weekdays from now until the Oscar Nominations come out (and maybe a week or so afterward). We’ll cover some of the other award shows along the way, and then we’ll start to break down each and every category for Oscar and the Mikes big night in early March. Reality can suck. Do watch movies with us.
