Words of Wisdom/Thank You/Social Media - 1:29:46

It’d be impossible for us to have a better time watching the actual Oscars. That’s probably the best I can sell this, since, as you know, I am someone who dedicates most of his life to analyzing, predicting, & watching those Academy Awards. Mike & I started laughing the minute we began on this MMO Award show, and we haven’t stopped yet (lol). (Ok, sorry. Even that joke is too cute for my taste, but I’m leaving it in cuz it’s the best I can think of now). This has been a joyous, yet grueling week where we Mikes are burning the candle at both ends & then lighting ourselves on fire to bring you daily episodes. In that mixture of love & hate, joy & terror, the highest of adrenaline highs & the lowest of exhausted lows, we’ve been so happy to escape into the MMO’s.

Now a lot of that love, joy, & adrenaline is due to your participation. We did something a little different this year and incorporated a bunch of your submissions for category questions, and you did not disappoint. 

As is the case with much of our catalog, the MMO’s can have a shelf life long after these Oscars on February 24th. Hopefully, you’ll put that notion to the test and seek out some of our past programming. We nearly tripled our production in the episode count this year, and we think the reps have paid off because we’ve more than tripled our audience. So if you’re just coming to our show now, please do check out that catalog.

As always, let us know what you think. Who would you nominate & pick? 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. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar!

The Mike, Mike, and Oscars - MMO's 2nd Annual Awards Reward Actual Bests of 2018 - Ep 168

It’s part 2 of our Mid-Year Oscars Report! As we did in the first part, we break down another 7 categories at the Academy Awards, and we hit on all of the major contenders while doing so. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood remains center stage, but we also hype up some more contenders like Harriet, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Little Women, 1917, Jojo Rabbit, The Last Thing He Wanted, The Laundromat, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, & many more. We also talk about some major stars along the way like Brad Pitt, our friend Willem Dafoe, Helen Mirren, Kristen Stewart, and of course, Quentin Tarantino.

The episode format leads to some fun discussions. Toy Story 4 seems like its in a two picture race for Animated Feature with Frozen 2. CATS probably has good make-up, Downton Abbey may have some pretty damned good costumes, and Sam Mendes movies like 1917 probably have incredible cinematography. But on the flipside, we also think John Litgow will wear a well-made fat suit, Little Women is one of many period pieces where the dresses will be sewn with impeccable taste, and the Harriet set photos are stunning. So again, we preview each of these races with points & counterpoints, and with our picks for frontrunners, likely nominations, and wildcards.

Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll finish the Mid-Year Report and build up to an overview of the Best Picture category. We’ll also have a major announcement about another new weekly show on the next MMOW. Hint, hint - it’s gonna be Oscar related. So we’ll have a lot to discuss in the coming months regarding this fast approaching awards season, and we’ll be doing a lot of what we do best - break down the Oscars!

On that note, we’ll be doing many more Oscar Sprint Profile movie reviews. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood hits theaters next week, and we also plan on covering The Farewell, The Kitchen, Luce, Where’d You Go Bernadette, and The Goldfinch. And those are just the next flurry of contenders coming out through early September. There’s a whole bunch more for us to cover throughout the fall and winter leading into red carpet season.

As always, we want to know how you see the race. 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!

This was a celebration of the film year, the entire film year, and as Mr. Bibbiani just put it to us in our Best Actor pod, it’s our job as film critics to shine a light on ALL of the great movies of the year, not just the nominated ones. The MMO’s are a perfect opportunity to do so, and our audience helped us achieve as much.

The MMO’s are about our community as much as they’re about the Oscars or two guys named Mike. We received a ton of submissions on categories you wanted us to discuss as you wrote more than 50% of this show to highlight what we should nominate, debate, negate, and celebrate about film year.

So the format went as follows. We alternate between your submissions, the categories you chose and the declarations you made about your winners. Then as promised, Mike & I chose our winners for each of the Academy Awards + our Top 22’s on the year.

As for the rest of our programming, Oscar Week is just getting started. Do stay tuned for that Predictions show, we’ll be doing a final preview with a special guest, & we’ll also be doing an Oscar morning show after the Indie Spirits.

As always, let us know your thoughts on the MMO’s, and like we said, we’re happy to include more of your submissions on future episodes. 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.

3rd Annual Mike, Mike, and Oscars Awards!  Your Categories, Our Awards for the Best of 2019!

MMO is talk radio for movie fans with weekly news shows, reviews, previews, and special guests. We celebrate the Oscars by making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. If you love cinema, if you love showbiz, welcome home.
