Wonder Woman 1984, In The Heights, and Respect moved off their release dates for virus & non-virus related reasons, and we open the show doing some Oscars talk regarding how the calendar could affect upcoming award campaigns. The Golden Globes also changed their eligibility rules, big studio CEO’s like Bob Iger are going without pay, and VOD & streaming services continue to make gains amidst the shutdown. So we break down all kinds of Hollywood stories in our News Of The Week segment.

Then in DYC, we give you an overview of new movies hitting your watch-at-home schedule, look forward to some 2021 films with some casting news regarding the next Mad Max & Creep movies, etc. The SXSW Awards came out last week, & we discuss the big winners from this year and from South By’s past. Plus, Neon has been on a buying spree with it’s Parasite money!

We do a box office update, which in this case is an overview of the premium VOD charts from iTunes & Amazon Prime.
