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.
