Pre-Globes Gambling Preview w/ David Long! - ORC 12/19/23

"Maestro" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It is the second film to be directed by Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper following "A Star Is Born" and features him and Academy Award-nominee Carey Mulligan transforming into Leonard Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre. The two were kind enough to spend a little bit of time talking with me about their work on the film, and I also got the chance to speak with the film's Costume Designer, Academy Award-winner Mark Bridges. Dan Bayer also interviewed Academy Award-winning Supervising Sound Editor Richard King. All three interviews can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now streaming on Netflix and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Costume Design and Best Sound. Thank you, and enjoy!

A Behind The Scenes Look At "Maestro"

"Flamin' Hot" premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, where it received positive reviews and was later released on Hulu and Disney+ over the summer. Academy Award-winner Diane Warren has been nominated at the Oscars 14 times in competitive categories. This year, she's shortlisted for writing the song for the film titled "The Fire Inside," performed by Becky G. Nominated already by the Society of Composers and Lyricists and Hollywood Music in Media, she could very well earn her 15th competitive nomination this year for the song which has over 2 million views on YouTube. Warren was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the song, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream and is up for your consideration at the 96th Academy Awards for Best Original Song. Thank you, and enjoy!

The 96th Academy Awards are over. Another awards season is behind us, and it was indeed a night to remember with some tight races, deserved wins, and a respectful ceremony that honored the nominees and the art of cinema. We witnessed powerful, moving speeches, shocking wins, and memories that will last a lifetime. Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, and Alyssa Christian reacted to the winners moments after the ceremony ended last night, while Will Mavity and Cody Dericks joined me the following day to discuss the show too. I combined both conversations together for your enjoyment. Join us as we go over our reactions to the winners, their speeches, and what we thought of the show overall, including Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue, the musical performances, in memoriam, and more. Please listen to the podcast below or subscribe to it. We want to give a massive shoutout to everyone in the NBP Film Community who has supported us through another awards season. Thank you, and enjoy.

Interview With "It's What's Inside" Director/Writer Greg Jardin

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham & Daniel Howat to review and discuss the latest film in the "Wallace & Gromit" franchise: "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" starring Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel & Reece Shearsmith. It is the sixth "Wallace & Gromit" film and the second feature-length film after the Oscar-winning "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" (2005) with the return of the villainous penguin Feathers McGraw from "The Wrong Trousers" (1993), which takes revenge on Wallace and Gromit by reprogramming their robotic garden gnome Wallace has become so dependent on. What did we think of the story, the stop-motion animation, the comedy, and the continued adventures of everyone's favorite Aardman creations? Tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

"Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl"

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!
