1992’s Best Original Song category is a talent overload. The world has been in awe of Whitney Houston and Robin Williams for years. Well, the reprisal of “A Whole New World” by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle is nothing to scoff at either, and if that’s not terrific enough for ya, Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas might be at their thespian bests while singing the nominee from The Mambo Kings.

If you think we won’t heckle these great songs in their movie scenes or 90s music videos, think again. Cliches abound, Kevin Costner’s bodyguard, and cartoons make us laugh. This halfisode is another fun critical foray into the world of music, and once more, we’re glad to have the chance to review it.

Like these episodes? We’ve already released a few, and since they’re too much fun to record, we probably won’t stop anytime soon. It’s the Oscar Off-Season after all. Also don’t forget to check out our catalog of other Oscar episodes as we’ve reviewed all the major nominees from the 2017-18 award season to cover the recent award show, we’ve already previewed next year’s show, and of course, we’ve also done several retrospectives to mine some entertainment from Oscar history.

The Mikes of Oscar also break from our awards coverage from time to time. We reviewed the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in an 10-episode arc, including a two part review of Black Panther, six 3-film review pods to cover Kevin Feige’s 18 films leading up to this spring, an entire episode dedicated to the new Avengers: Infinity War, and then a ranking episode where we each countdown from 19 to our no. 1 movie. We’ll cover Netflix in year in review and quarterly review episodes, we’ll preview the upcoming theatrical releases every few months & then review the biggest hits that we consider movie events, and we’ll also keep you up to date on Hollywood News with our HHT (Hollywood Hot Take) series.

Feel free to chat with us on social media. We’re on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. Then there’s Mikemikeandoscar.com, which is in the pipeline, and we should launch it this summer. As always, thanks for your help spreading the word about our show, and thanks for listening. When reality sucks, do watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
