The Oscar Race Update leads this special Sunday edition of MMO Weekly. Why Sunday? Well, the Cannes Film Festival announced their awards on Saturday. So we wanted to cover those ASAFP. Monday is also a picnic day for most of you, and now you can listen to MMOW en route to your R&R, but you also get a full day of listening to our weekly variety show a day early. Here’s a bonus 5th episode for the week. We said we’d make it up to ya, and here you go. It’s another loaded slate of Hollywood News, and we’re all over it.

One of our favorite filmmakers, Bong Joon-Ho won the Palm D’or at Cannes for his new film, Parasite. We discuss his career and what this selection might mean for its Oscar hopes. Then we run through all the other major winners from Antonio Banderas to Celine Sciamma. But we can’t discuss this year’s Cannes film fest without a huge segment on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. We discuss “The Snap,” the new trailer, how long is a good standing ovation, and what, if anything comes from the film’s awards shut out.

Our audience interaction takes two parts in this episode. We discuss our winners from this week’s SixDegreesOfMMO and give you a new challenge. Then at the end of the episode, we breakdown all of your Game of Thrones Rewrites, where we dive into spoilers. Thanks once again for all your excellent submissions!

The week also offered a bunch of important news stories. We must address the Jason Mitchell story. But we also get into happier matters like a preview of next week’s theatrical releases, this past week’s box office projections, that awesome new article about The Rise of Skywalker in Vanity Fair, and the upcoming Christopher Nolan spy movie, Tenet. Then we review new trailers for Toy Story 4, Downton Abbey, The Nightingale, Terminator: Dark Fate, & Plus One.

As always, please submit your responses to SixDegreesOfMMO, and we’ll have more Twitter questions for you throughout the week. 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!

We kick off this MMOW with some Trailer Thoughts for the latest preview of Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. Is the follow up to his first Oscar win another awards contender? Or more of an action heavy summer film? We’ll know soon enough, but a terrific first trailer is a good sign. Then 1 Mike is giddy over the Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga sneak peek from Netflix while Also Mike is just so confused. And how does Will Ferrell even sing like that?

Our What We’re Watching segment rejoices in the glory of The Last Dance as we complete our series coverage with a great conversation about the last two episodes of the epic Michael Jordan 10 part documentary. Also Mike then reviews Seberg, Devs, Belgravia, & What We Do In The Shadows: S1 before Mike1 covers Community & Trial By Media.

The News of the Week segment begins by discussing the breaking story that David Arquette will return for Scream 5, and we speculate about where they’ll go with the narrative. Then we discuss the recent & continued movement of the film release calendar as The Forever Purge & Last Night in Soho move off their dates, while Tenet hangs in the balance.

DYC is all over next week’s movie releases on streaming & VOD, and we make our picks for what we’re excited to view. Then we have a fun discussion on how Luca Guadagnino might adapt or reboot Scarface before discussing how studios are purchasing projects after Netflix bought the rights to Ball & Chain.

Of course, we’re all over the latest news about movie theaters reopening, if we’ll take our cars out to the drive-in, and what post coronavirus moviegoing may look like. And as promised, we read your submissions for our Audience Interaction segment before signing off until next time.

As always, we want to know what you think, and do pay attention to our Twitter Questions this week for the next Audience Interaction segment on MMOW.

We lead with the News of the Week with a conversation about the plans for Venice & We Are One. HBO Max launches with a larger library than expected, and the Snyder Cut is part of their plans. Rumors about a secret Sony Marvel project come to light, and there are implications for the Spider-Verse.

Then we dive into a huge What We’re Watching segment as we both watched some golf for once in our lives. Mike1 continues his balancing act of youtube true crime & happy Netflix shows like Community while Also Mike finished The Morning Show + a whole bunch of movies from Lance to The Painter and the Thief to Military Wives.

We recap everything to know about the Box Office & how movie theaters are struggling to re-open. But there are many positive stories about Tenet & why it may stick to its July 17th premiere date. Plus, AMC might be out of the woods for the time being while Netflix continues to announce huge numbers for its properties like The Willoughbys.

After our introduction, there's no way to transition. But we do believe a show must go on here. It's our role. It's our job. As film journalists, as entertainers, as podcasters trying to offer talk radio for movie fans, we do believe that if our show can offer some respite, then we want to put it out there. 

Therefore, we do head into a second segment. So it’s here that we begin with a story about Netflix, as they did not submit any of their upcoming films to the fall film festivals, and we speculate about why they might be making such a complete reversal from previous years. Does it have anything to do with their recent purchase of Hollywood’s Egyptian Theater? Does Netflix think Oscars 2021 will postpone? Or is this some combination of strategy & logistics?

In What We’re Watching, we continue to review a bunch of stuff from Netflix like Spaceforce, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, Unbelievable, Community, and The Wrong Missy. But we also discuss Defending Jacob, Fosse/Verdon, and ESPN’s Lance.

During a box office update, we dissect the latest news about Tenet’s release date. Does the closure of the San Francisco market prohibit the Christopher Nolan film from opening on time? Can bigger cities like LA & NY hope to reopen if Frisco can’t? Or is WB dependent on non-traditional markets to make up the slack?

Finally, we end with a fun rundown of some of your responses to our Twitter Questions. What did you consider Must Watch TV for movie lovers? What films have you been shocked to love? Thank you for all the responses, and do continue to look out for more of our questions for a chance to get onto the next episode of MMOW.

MMO Weekly is our weekly news & variety show designed to cover the news of Hollywood, and it’s usually a fast paced, fun time in terms of preparation, recording, & we hope, listening. But when we have serious news to cover, it’s unfortunately a much more serious show. So there is a trigger warning in effect for the first segment here as we cover the horrible stories around the allegations of sexual misconduct against Chris D’Elia, those of sexual assault against Ansel Elgort, and the charges of rape against Danny Masterson. How has Hollywood reacted? How should they treat these accused individuals moving forward? & how should we cover it? We’re always looking for ways to grow & educate ourselves. So as always, do please speak your truths to us.

In a Box Office Update, we discuss two major stories as well. First of all, why the hell was Gone With The Wind atop recent VOD sales charts? & how should we discuss the historical context of “classic” films? Then we break down the stories regarding how major movie theater chains plan to reopen in July.

The last two segments play much more like typical MMOW ones as we dive into a What We’re Watching segment that reviews everything from The Dead Zone to Clemency to BBC’s Luther to Dan Harmon movies. Then we enjoy a DYC segment where we recap a ton of film production & casting announcements from new Evil Dead & Children of the Corn movies to Viggo’s next project with Peter Farrelly to Kristen Stewart’s casting as Princess Dianna.

As we wrote up top, do send us your thoughts on anything or everything we discussed in this episode. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

MMO Weekly is back with a fun episode on everything new & newsworthy in Hollywood and beyond. There’s been a lot of serious stuff going on in the word, and we’ll refer to it at times. But this MMOW is much more like the good old days of non-stop movie news & commentary.

We begin with a Trailer Thoughts segment, celebrating the great new trailers for Respect, Soul, & Over The Moon. Then we have some fun with Ava, Greenland, Bill & Ted Face The Music, and Peninsula.

What We’re Watching tackles some of the latest movies like Irresistible and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. But we also review some stand-up comedy specials like Eric Andre: Legalize Everything & Michael Che Matters, youtube Daily Show deep dives about media coverage, research rabbit holes about Zodiac Killer, docs like Athlete A & The Most Dangerous Animal Of All, Netflix binge watches like Dead To Me to Ozark, & we even review a classic Oscar winner like The Defiant Ones.

DYC reboots our news coverage as we preview next week’s offerings from Broadway’s Hamilton to docs like John Lewis: Good Trouble to a short film collection we’re gonna review with the Nomcast called Homemade. Then we analyze all the latest production & casting announcements including Lebron & Ava’s next projects, Michael Keaton’s return as Batman, Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean, & a new Twister and The Princess Bride.

Then we breeze through a brief box office update on how the movie calendar keeps bumping back, and we recap some twitter polls about Tenet in Audience Interaction to close out the show.
