The Scaries Vol 4 - Cults, Carpenter, and One Crazy Killer Year in Horror - Ep 381

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

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. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you listen to podcasts. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar!

Captain Marvel Preview as MMO Introduces 100% Accurate Guess of the Plot - Halfisode

As magicians of the critical world, we guess the plot of “Us,” & it’s spoiler FREE!

***This is a Spoiler FREE episode***
We have not seen the film “Us” yet. But we preview it & therefore hype ourselves up to see it.

Trailer/Music Breakdown - 2:08
The Meaning of “Us” + Peele’s Track Record -  5:24
Specs - 9:11
Cast and Crew - 12:48
 
THE 100% ACCURATE PLOT GUESSES FOR “US”:
Mike1’s - 17:55
AlsoMike’s - 24:38
 
Words of Wisdom/Pitch us Your Plot! - 39:51


By all accounts, Jordan Peele’s “Us” is going to be one of the first major multi-category Oscar contenders in the 2019 film year. Sure, Captain Marvel can go at VFX. Yes, How To Train Your Dragon 3 should get animated feature. And why not? Apollo 11 wowed us to the point where it could contend for Best Documentary. But “Us” has the most pronounced buzz yet. Audiences from SXSW & critics alike seem to be in favor of the film, and if Get Out is any indication, Peele could be nominated all over despite it’s spring release date.

So we want to traverse some more of the possibilities & inevitabilities going into this film. What exactly does the title mean? Has Jordan Peele joined some rare air with a second hit / oscar film in as many tries? Will Lupita N’yongo contend in the Best Actress category? And can we read into any of the early numbers? These are just a few questions raised before we head into the main event, the Mikes guess the plot.

You read that right. It’s a non-spoiler episode, and yet, we have guessed the plot of the movie. Well, we have reached a treacherous agreement with evil forces. The aim is simple: predict the plots exactly while also not spoiling you in the least. Proudly, I can say with 100% certainty, that we have done so.

In our next episode, Mike and I have a special presentation as we unveil our Top 5 Horror Movie Experiences. This ranges from blockbuster rentals to overhyped disappointments to horror movies proved unintentional comedies to film festivals, and we have a blast chatting about what the genre means to us & how it fits into the fabric of every year’s storytelling achievements. So stay tuned for that.

Obviously, we want to hear your pitches & guesses of the plot for “Us.” We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you listen to podcasts.

"Us" - Guess The Plot - We Got Two (100% Accurate Pitches) On It - Ep 176

From Blockbuster Video to Film Festivals, we tell stories & talk our favorite genre.

***This is a Mostly Non-Spoiler Episode***
There’s some early Act 1 giveaways, and then some mentions of some big moments or big scares at certain points in other films. But of course, we don’t give anything away.

Another way to get ready for Jordan Peele’s “Us” is to go back in time & talk about why we love horror movies. Sometimes they’re good & one memorable scare will scar us forever. Sometimes they’re great, and we never look at the world the same again. But other times they’re so bad, they’re perhaps the best experience of our film going year. We talk about our Top 5 Horror Movie Experiences in this special weekend episode!

This isn’t our first foray into the tried & true Top 5 world of podcasting & youtubing & John Cusack’ing. We’ve ranked our favorite scenes & films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Mission Impossibles, & of course, we nominate 5’s in the Mike, Mike, and Oscars - OUR annual award show. But we also started a specific Top 5 series that began with our Top 5 Music Movie Performances, & you can find our Top 5s playlist of episodes on Soundcloud.

Regardless of whether you’re addicted to Top 5 shows & videos like we are, this turned into quite the fun conversation about the horror genre, & of course, we tell some of our favorite moviegoing stories. From trips to Blockbuster to fancy film festivals, we thought it the perfect time to recap all our greatest horror movie experiences.

The Mikes of Oscar are committed to covering horror films year round, & if you’ve listened before, you know we’ve been campaigning hard for some of the best horror films & performances come awards season. The Academy is slowly, but surely coming around to acknowledging the genre, but not enough. So we’ve made it a mission of our show to be all over our favorite horror films.

Last year, we reviewed the entire Halloween franchise, the Conjuring Universe, both Suspiria films, Hereditary, & Overlord. In 2017, we championed Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” from the first episode through the Oscars. We’ve also contributed to the AllTheHorror podcast collaboration on two occasions with an American Psycho retrospective this past WomenInHorrorMonth & last October with a fun chat about the best slashers our ATH friends could invent.

Of course, we want to know your favorite experiences with horror films. Send us your responses, & we’ll read some on the show!

You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you listen to podcasts. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar!

These are so much fun, perhaps TOO MUCH fun. Mike and I wanted to liven things up in the podcast studio a month or so ago when we decided to preview Captain Marvel. So we invented this game. Be 100% Accurate. Yield 0% Spoilers. It sounds impossible, but we unequivocally prove all of the skeptics wrong. We guessed the plot of Captain Marvel & “Us” already. Now since we have another major movie event, the biggest of this or maybe any year in fact, it’s time we preview & yes, Guess The Plot of Avengers: Endgame.

This episode features an intro covering the latest news and box office projections for Avengers: Endgame before we put on our writing caps and pitch you all how we would write the film in our guessing of that soon to be world famous plot.

This will be part 1 of 2.5 for our Avengers: Endgame preview mini-series. There will be another massive episode next week, where we debut yet another new episode format in our Avengers: Endgame dead pool (no, not that one). What we do in the dead pool is predict & debagte who will live, who will die, who should live or die, and what the betting odds are for life or death of the entire cast of the newest & biggest MCU property yet.

Do check out all our coverage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s a handy playlist on our Soundcloud account, and you can otherwise find our Marvel episodes all over our catalog. We cover breaking news & often review superhero movies on MMO Weekly, we did a 6 podcast arc on the first 18 films of the MCU last spring, we’ve reviewed all of the subsequent MCU releases like Infinity War, Ant Man and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel, and we’ve had fun ranking our favorite films. The half or .5 in that 2.5 miniseries from a paragraph ago also refers to another ranking episode we’ll drop next week in honor of this movie event, and then of course, we’ll review the film after digesting it over it’s opening weekend.

As always, we want to know what you think & how you would GTP. We’ll gladly read yours on our Monday variety show, MMO weekly, and you can always ask us questions via the AskMMO hashtag on social media.

Now why did we do 5 years in one Olympiad? Well, we rationalized it because the next Olympics, Tokyo 2021 will transpire 5 years after Rio 2016. But the main reason we wanted to include 2016 was because 2016 was so loaded with great horror films. So we figured that would just add to the fun, and we were right.

As for the format, it’s pretty simple. We cover 9 Oscar categories including Visual FX, Original & Adapted Screenplay, all 4 lead and supporting performances, best director, and picture. Then we each declare a Best of the Year as we hand out Gold, Silver, & Bronze medals to our top 3’s, which means two of those bests “Do Not Medal.”

Which Stephen King adaptation will win gold in screenplay? How in the hell do we choose a best actress? What MMO favorite will win the most hardware? And what 2020 films will shock their way to the podium? Find out in this fast paced hour and get ready for your Halloween Holiday with us.

If you enjoyed this episode, check out these related playlists on our Soundcloud - “The Oscar Olympics,” “MMO Does Halloween,” and “#AllTheHorror.” Then do stay tuned for our annual Halloween tradition of The Scaries, an MMO Homemade Awards Show, where this year, we’ll be featuring the subgenre of alien movies.
