We got MMOW into the middle of your week! Well, for this one at least. Hopefully, the Wednesday / Thursday spot will continue going forward, but we certainly enjoyed it now because we had a ton of cool stuff to discuss, most notably, the first reactions to Star Wars & Cats.

What We’re Watching reviews 6 Underground & In Fabric together. Then Also Mike reviews Climax, Watchmen, The Mandalorian, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice, & To Dust. Mike 1 also weighs in on Survivor, The Confession Killer, The Schmoedown Spectacular, the state of all things wrestling, and his most recent binge watch of The Office.

SixDegreesOfMMO is spectacular as usual, and we offer up another challenge. There’s a box office update, plus a new projections segment that discusses what Star Wars might take in during its opening weekend. We discuss trailers for A Quiet Place 2, Top Gun: Maverick, Onward, Saint Maud, and Promising Young Woman. A24 and Focus Features continue their momentum of great filmmaking from 2019, and Mike 1 identifies one of his favorite new trailers of the year.

Then we close out the episode with a DYC that previews the next week of Christmas season theatrical releases & streaming options, including Little Women, The Two Popes, & 1917. You also get our takes on news stories like the first reactions to Star Wars & Cats, Quentin Tarantino’s Halloween, the next big team up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and an upcoming film from Yorgos Lanthimos.

In our largest Box Office update segment of the year, we do a bit of a state of the industry report to open the episode. Disney is still raking in the dough with Star Wars, and we dive into a follow up conversation about The Rise Of Skywalker. This will be our non-spoiler portion of this follow up cuz there's a bookend to the show as we talk a bunch more about the Skywalkers at the show's end as well.

We also ask some questions about the state of big budget Hollywood musicals, how Sony has crushed it in 2019, and we wonder which Christmas releases will continue a steady build to profitability. Knives Out, & Frozen II are Thanksgiving holdovers still making bank, but will Little Women, Uncut Gems, or Bombshell gain an Oscars boost?

Your SixDegreesOfMMO submissions wow us once again. We coin some more unique awards to match up with your creativity, and then finish off our december improv. There’s a few new trailers to breakdown next including the upcoming 10 part docu-series The Last Dance: The Untold Story of Michael Jordan and the Bulls, the 1970 Miss World story - Misbehaviour, and another trailer for Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.

Mike 1 re-watched some Christmas favorites like It’s A Wonderful Life & Christmas Vacation, while Also Mike watched a bunch of stuff including new movies like Villains & Let It Snow. Then we discuss the remainder of Oscar films being released late December and early January, and the one film, we’re dying to see most of all - Portrait Of A Lady On Fire. 

Finally, we finish off DYC with another discussion on the state of that galaxy far, far away. We warn you of spoilers & breakdown the silent feud between Johnson & Abrams. There’s also a bunch of speculation about what Kathleen Kennedy & Kevin Feige might be planning next for the Star Wars franchise.

Let us know what you think about The Rise Of Skywalker chatter & do send us your responses to next week’s Six Degrees.

We are driving down the Oscars highway, and here’s one more MMOW for the road, folks. When we’ll get back to this format, we don’t know. Hopefully, sooner than later, but unlikely for next week. So enjoy this awards season O.R.C. fused MMOW.

Our “What We’re Watching” segment is the first stop as we spend a good 20 minutes reviewing Bombshell to start the episode. Of course, we cannot resist some talk about The Mandalorian as it just wrapped up its first season. Then Mike1 reviews The Peanut Butter Falcon and The Good Place.

Your SixDegreesOfMMO submissions were particularly funny, full of great Dad jokes & callbacks to great movies from our childhoods. We start off another improv for this month’s first 2020 throne, and we give you what we hope is an all time fun new challenge.

We recap the holiday box office for the top 9 films to close out the year, and we give you another tease of our upcoming review of Uncut Gems. There are two excellent trailers for 2020 horror films as A Quiet Place Part II puts on quite the sequel spectacle, and Gretel & Hansel creeps us the hell out with its Eggars / Aster level production design. We’re also scared of that Borg Queen turned wicked witch.

Then we close out the episode with a look at the upcoming theatrical releases in DYC, and we also discuss awards season stories like the new vegan menu at the Golden Globes, the Ron Funches hosted Artios Awards for Casting, and we talk about the start of Oscars voting and how the timeline may affect the nominees.

As always, let us know what you think about anything we discussed in this ep, & do send us your next wave of Six Degree submissions. 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. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thanks for listening.

MMO Weekly strikes back! Now that the Oscars are done, the 2020 entertainment year is officially allowed to begin, and we roar back with a vengeance to review 13 movies & tv shows, all the most important castings & film announcements, 5 of the biggest trailers, that new Bond song, and we finally present your long lost SixDegreesOfMMO, yes, the one with the seagulls.

What We’re Watching reviews the colorful highs & lows from Birds of Prey, how Martin Lawrence is still funny in Bad Boys For Life, all the Noah Centineo of To All The Boys 2, + Horse Girl, that Taylor Swift doc, Uppity, Buffaloed & Come To Daddy. Then we dive into some TV like that disturbing Aaron Hernandez miniseries, whether or not we know if we like HBO’s The Outsider, how Larry David is curbing our enthusiasm for his shenanigans, the most David Lynch film ever, & McMillions reminds us of fond memories of the monopoly game.

In DYC, we recap a ton of movie news & decide whether or not we care about Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan, Awkwafina as The Baccarat Machine, Christian Bale as a norse god, how Mike1 has no room in his heart for another Cinderella or Saw movie, how Also Mike needs Rick Moranis & Gordon Bombay back in his life, & how HBO MAX is not f’ing around with that Friends reunion special.

There’s a Box Office Update on January & early February. Then we have Battinson sighting, & we review our Trailer Thoughts on The French Dispatch, The Jesus Rolls, Morbius, & Spiral before loving the new theme song for No Time To Die. And finally… we celebrate your hilariously creative submissions for our last Six Degrees of Emily Blunt to Antonio Banderas through a Seagull (or Segal) before you get a new improv and a new challenge!

The Bond Character Study is in fact next. But we needed to get a whole lot of business done first in this MMO Weekly. You get some high praise for new movies in What We’re Watching & then some serious analysis in the News Of The Week before some of the more familiar segments of Do You Care, a Box Office Update, Trailer Thoughts, and Audience Interaction.

Now both Mike & I are big fans of the horror genre. So it was a treat to review The Invisible Man and The Lodge atop the episode. We’ll also review a neon purple Nic Cage in Color Out Of Space and later in the show, that new Candyman trailer from Jordan Peele & Nia DaCosta. If you’re not game for horror movies over your winter weekend, then don’t worry, we also review the FilmTwitter favorite, Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, and your newest Netflix comedy option, Pete Davidson: Alive From New York.

Mike 1 then uses his legal background to shed some light on the recent Harvey Weinstein verdict, and we’ll later comment on the Cesar Awards debacle later in the segment. We also break for some happier news here and breakdown the power shift at Disney with Bob Iger’s announced retirement, recap his many career highlights, and introduce the incoming CEO, Bob Chapek.

DYC then covers a bunch of fun topics like next week’s theatrical releases including Pixar’s Onward & we break for another trailer review of Mark Wahlberg’s Spenser Confidential. There’s a big story on the future of Star Wars, some news on Creed 3, Parasite’s streaming home, and the next project from The Lighthouse’s Robert Eggars.

You get a brief Box Office Update, that trailer review of Candyman, and then you’re terrific as always in our latest SixDegreesOfMMO. Do stay tuned to hear your next challenge.

The News Of The Week segment certainly lives up to its name this week as we must talk about the subject on everyone’s mind, the coronavirus. Unfortunately, the virus has spread to the point where major film festivals like South By Southwest have been cancelled and major film releases like No Time To Die have been moved. So we cannot help but discuss this pandemic from multiple angles, from annual box office projections to spring film festivals to studio control of the calendar, and of course, to what this all could mean for the upcoming awards season.

In DYC, we enjoy some fun topics like the first look at the new Batmobile, a confirmation of a former Batman headed to the MCU, and the new director for the horror sequel to Doctor Strange. Then of course, we need to pay tribute to the life & legendary career of Max Von Sydow.

You get a box office update as Pixar’s Onward took the top spot, and then we review some new movie trailers for Lord & Miller’s Connected, Tom Hanks in Greyhound, The Other Lamb, Seven Stages To Achieve Eternal Bliss, and Dream Horse.

What We’re Watching includes a big review of Emma, the first four episodes of Briarpatch, Netflix’s All The Bright Places, UFC 248, HBO’s The Outsider, and why Mike1 is a prototypical case for network comedy’s selling for the big bucks on your favorite streaming service.

Then to bring this massive episode to a resounding close, we celebrate your most recent SixDegreesOfMMO before giving you a new challenge. Do send us your submissions for the next MMOW, and also please listen to our outro where we have another question for you to answer before our next episode.

The News Of The Week segment must continue to be coronavirus related, but I do think this episode is able to look forward a bit more for a welcome change. Instead of having to dwell on all of the closings and the cases and the shutdowns, we can look forward to a few recent theatrical releases that’ll be put on VOD in what will hopefully become a regular practice, at least for the duration of this quarantine. So we debate all of the possible effects of NBC Universal upending the traditional release models & changing how we consume movies.

What new movies are we hoping become available over the upcoming months for home viewing? Is the Warner Brothers model a better way to do it? What will be left for movie theaters when we do get the chance to be social again? We speculate about it all through the opening of our Do You Care segment, where we preview all of releases coming out next week.

As for the rest of the episode, we do have some fun chatting about a few hopeful stories regarding how the show must go on at Wrestlemania, the announcements of Scream 5 & reboots of Frankenstein & Dracula, an honest to goodness Oscars 2021 story, plus some more awards talk after the Razzies picked their “winners,” and we also enjoy 3 big trailers for Disney’s Jungle Cruise, Pixar’s Soul, and Netflix’s Crip Camp.

We worked in audience interaction for 3 segments of this episode, including and as always, our SixDegreesOfMMO, and you get a weird new challenge to dive into for next week. So do send us those, and as we usually ask, please do take a few moments to rate & review us on Apple Podcasts. We sincerely appreciate it.

As always, we wanna know what you think. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

What We’re Watching opens the show as M1 binges like no other and has a surprise for AlsoMike. Then we both review Saturday Night Live At Home & wonder we’re catching cabin fever before reviews of Tigertail, Les Miserables, Love Wedding Repeat, The Main Event, etc. 

It all builds into another huge News Of The Week segment. First look photos dropped for Dune, Pixar & Disney shook up our Animated Feature picks, Cannes looks for its festival window, and AMC needs cash ASAFP.

What We’re Watching leads off with Michael Jordan: The Last Dance & the wrap up show for Tiger King. One of us has a near death experience watching Midsommar, and the other might die soon of watching too many things before summer even starts. So we get into some weird stuff during our reviews of Sergio, The Gentlemen, Bacurau, The Whistlers, Briarpatch, Belgravia, and Chris D’Elia: No Pain. We then ruthlessly murder the new Capone trailer before diving into a monstrous movie news segment with DYC. 

Next Week’s new movie releases include 3 days of premieres from Netflix, a Beastie Boys Story from Apple TV+, and HBO’s Emmy hopeful, Bad Education. Some movie chains like Cinemark plan to reopen while others like AMC hope to survive, Netflix buys 2 new films, and we get 2 more streaming premiere date announcements. Indie filmmakers reject the SXSW / Amazon virtual festival idea, Venice holds out, and San Diego Comic Con cancels. Then we got a ton of mid-show breaking news about the release date movements of WB, Sony, & Marvel blockbusters, and you get our instant reactions. We then pay tribute to the life, career, & talent of Brian Dennehy before another SixDegreesOfMMO.

If you’re enjoying the show, please help us spread the word by rating us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts, and do stay tuned as we try out some new formats. Next up, we’ll be enjoying a Fantasy Casting show, where we’ll be picking actors to play in hypothetical projects like the Tiger King movie. Then early next week, our plan is to change up the format for our quarantine collection shows by combining a review of HBO’s Bad Education, a preview of HBO MAX, & have a top 5 segment on HBO Original Movies.

MMO Weekly returns after we devoted most of last week to awards talk about HBO’s Bad Education to the Oscars rule changes to how the feud between AMC vs Universal may affect the industry. So we saved some fun stuff for today’s MMOW, but we still got lucky enough to talk about the latest award shows. Texas movie theaters reopened, Lionsgate bumped most of their schedule to 2021, and Tribeca announced their virtual film fest winners, including our review of Netflix’s latest & greatest romcom, The Half Of It. Then we also divulge far too much about our childhoods when we talk about the Kids Choice Award winners.

The Last Dance teaches one Mike a new mantra as the other relives a former life of pain at the hands of Michael Jordan. But we both learn quite a lot about celebrity & sportsmanship. The Parks and Rec reunion special makes us happy, and SNL Live At Home stays funny. We also critique the many highs & lows of the NFL Draft telecast. What We’re Watching delivers a bunch more reviews as Mike1 finished Succession on HBO while AlsoMike dove into the SXSW films on Amazon Prime, and we both reviewed Netflix properties like The Willoughbys, I Am Not Okay With This, and The Babysitter.

DYC previews both what we missed last week and what’s coming out next on VOD & streaming. Then we get excited for some upcoming projects as Jordan Peele’s Lovecraft Country debuted its first trailer, The Hunger Games announced it’s prequel, Hellraiser is coming back, and Olivia Wilde made some great casting moves for her next film.

Unfortunately, we lost another 2 great actors last week. So we must pay tribute to Irrfan Khan and Sam Lloyd before celebrating another terrific installment of Six Degrees.

As always, we want to know your thoughts, and if you’re enjoying the show, do please leave us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts to help us out.

MMOW is back once again, and we’re still punchy from being on lockdown. So we open with What We’re Watching to stay sane, including sports like The Last Dance, UFC 249, & WWE’s Money In The Bank, tv specials like the SNL finale, true crime youtube deep dives, & a bunch of movies like Black Christmas, The Assistant, Spaceship Earth, Saint Francis, & Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.

Then in News of the Week, we discuss rumors from across the pond that the Oscars may bump their air date 3-4 months, the pros & cons, and why other events can’t even consider such a maneuver. We also react to how Russell Crowe’s Unhinged took the pole position for movie releases coming out of the lockdown & why this film might connect with audiences.

In DYC, we preview next week’s movie releases from a Nick Kroll romcom to a gambling grandma. Mike 1 has thoughts about Tom Cruise heading to space with Elon Musk, as well as other news about the next films for M. Night Shyamalan, The Rock & Emily Blunt, & Scream. Then Also Mike weighs in on the Disney Plus Hamilton move, Boba Fett’s return to the galaxy far far away, and Taika Waititi’s next quarantine writing project.

We dive into a box office update & recap the heartening numbers from Norway & Texas, lament the virtual earnings of some specialty films, and then forecast how things might go for other countries setting dates to reopen their movie theater doors, including what the latest on California means for Tenet.

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.

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.

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.

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.
