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

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! 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!

Top 5 Horror Movie Experiences - The Scares, Screams, + Shyamalans That Formed A Genre Love - Ep 177

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.

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. How did you like the movie? And were our tirades justified? Or did we miss something? 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.

It Chapter 2 Awards Show Movie Event Review - Just....Oh Boy..... - Ep 240

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?!

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.

What did you think of Cats? Let us know. 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.

Cats The Movie Review - All Crotch - Ep 263

Netflix released a surprise Michelle Obama documentary, and hell yes, we can review it. What does it teach us about politics and celebrity? Is this a forerunner to an eventual campaign? And can she inspire us all to hope for change once again?

Is this an Oscars Sprint Profile? Or is this a Movie Event Review? We open with a discussion on the purposes of this documentary, and how they might be aiming higher than a few trophies. But whatever you’d call this, we still follow our normal review format from spoiler free sections on the film’s production specs, our expectations, it’s production values, the script, and subjects. Then we give you a spoiler warning before discussing all the best & worst scenes, plus our final grades.

Now Mike & I have been honest with you about our politics. Although our show doesn’t usually focus on them, we still cannot avoid the subject because movies don’t avoid the subject. And we review movies. Maybe other critics could walk that tightrope of reviewing political films without talking politics, but we are not those critics. So beware - we do talk a little red vs blue in this episode, and we are team blue.

Whatever your allegiance, Becoming offers a rare glimpse into the life of our former First Lady, and although the film’s format follows Michelle during her 34 city book tour, we also spend a lot of time getting to know her support team, some of her less famous family members, and we get a lot of her biography as well. How does Michelle Obama recount recent history? What is she accomplishing on her present course? And where does she see her future headed? We can’t help but discuss it all in this review.

As always, we wanna know your thoughts, political or not. 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 Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thanks for listening.

Michelle Obama's Becoming Review - Becoming...Hopeful - Ep 295

Capone is much better than we thought. HOWEVER, we are much less mature than we hoped. So in one of our goofier recording sessions, we break down Tom Hardy’s unmissable performance in this bizarro gangster thriller in both non-spoiler & spoiler filled segments.

FYI… we do idiotically spoil Entourage during the Expectations segment. So beware.

But as two Oscars movie critics in their off-season and as two men children with quarantine cabin fever, of course, we begin the episode with fart noises and dirty jokes. But as the episode moves along, we do build up a profound respect for the ambitions of Josh Trank’s Capone, and it’s many successes. What’s the final product? Well, you will be the judge, but we hope it’s one of our more entertaining episodes.

Per usual, we do follow our normal movie review format. The first half of the show is spoiler-free, with one obvious exception, that to be honest, every other film critic in America has also spoiled. You get a production profile to introduce the film, reviews of the polarizing production values, and a big debate on that Tom Hardy performance. Then in the second half, we recap the plot of the film and break down all our best & worst scenes in one of our wackier, livelier conversations to date.

As we pitched in the last MMOW, we are planning to read and react to some of your movie & television reviews. So don’t forget to send those to us via email or social media, and as always, here’s another friendly reminder that if you haven’t yet, we could really use your help on Apple Podcasts. Do please take a few seconds and leave us a 5 star rating, and if you have a bit more time, then we’d really appreciate a positive written review. Thank you so much!

Finally, let us know your thoughts on Capone & Tom Hardy’s unforgettable performance. 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 Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen.

Capone aka "Fonzo" Review - This...This Is My Shocked Face... - Ep 297

Palm Springs makes us laugh early & often, and that’s reason enough to click play. But we each have baggage when it comes to romcoms. So when it’s time to slam this plot for being as lazy as one of its characters, we don’t hold back.

Another streaming premiere, and you get another mixed review from MMO. We’d rather that NOT be the case, since of all the July 10th new releases, we wanted to enjoy Palm Springs first. But we’ve gotta call them like we see them, and it’s not the first time an MMO review has gone against critical consensus. Some of the biggest movies in our history (cough! Parasite) have surprised our listeners with surprising takes from us Mikes.

So the stakes for this one are higher than you’d think. That means your feedback is as important as ever. Where did we go wrong on this one? Or do you think we’re in the right headspace? Do send us your thoughts. But as always, our movie review episodes have two sections. Non-spoilers come first, followed by a deconstruction of the plot after a spoiler warning. 

Should this have been more sci-fi or romance? Which worked better? Then who’s the funniest cast member? Who’s our favorite character? Does love really exist, and is time, in fact, a flat circle? This film may not have answered all those questions, but our review sure does.

Stay tuned for more movie reviews in our near future as First Cow is next up in our plans with The Old Guard and Greyhound as other possibilities. Otherwise, MMO Weekly will come back soon, and we’re always looking for more opportunities to do Oscar Race Checkpoint or Top 5 shows. 

Though the world may repeat the same boring days over and over, you won’t get an infinite time loop of shows from us. As we stated in our last episode, we have many ideas on upcoming new series, and we want to hear your thoughts. 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 Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen.

Of course, we must start off this episode with an initial goodbye & preliminary tribute to Chadwick Boseman. We will have much more to say about the heroic spirit of this great man as the year & as the awards seasons go along. But before we can get into some of the fun of this episode, we try to put our heartache into words.

Luckily, we did have an incredibly fun episode to tackle on The New Mutants with Amanda of Swell Entertainment. So do make sure to follow her on Twitter, Instagram & Snapchat at luvu2golka, and if you’re a fan of ours, you have no excuse not to follow her Youtube channel at Swell Entertainment. We click on each of her videos & so should you.

Our 40+ minute non-spoiler section calls back to our previous episode with Amanda, Film Sets From Hell w/ Swell (where she told THE BEST Titanic story btw), and we go behind the scenes of the tumultuous journey these new mutants had to finally get this movie into theaters. Then we talk about our triumphant return to the movies before our discussions on acting, writing, directing, evil monologuing, overt sexual metaphors, dragon puppets, drugs, & bears.

If you enjoyed this episode, check out our near 500 episode catalog for ALL the movie talk radio you could ever want. Then if you want to support our show at MMO, do please click that 5th star on Apple Podcasts.

New Mutants ft Amanda of Swell Entertainment! - And Goodbye Chadwick - Ep 321

We nominate horror bests in 9 Oscar Categories for the years of 2016 through 2020 and then give out Gold, Silver, & Bronze medals. It’s simple, it’s fun, and we celebrate so many great horror movies in the process. These are The Horror Oscar Olympics.

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.”
