Also Mike has admitted to watching Mary Poppins on loop as a young child, we’ve already reviewed Mike 1’s childhood favorite in Cinderella (halfisode 4), and you now have TMI (too much information) on both your hosts.

Though we often heckle in these Best Original Song Halisodes, we’re surprisingly positive about all five of these songs. They’re kind of undeniably good, we guess. Let us know what you think on social media. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter.

There’s Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Bettie Davis, Dick Van Dyke, Julie Andrews, and Frank Sinatra. Each has quite the distinct sounding set of pipes. So the iconic voices, the big names, and some great songs do not allow these two old men from the muppet show to heckle this one from our balcony here much. The scenes some of these songs play through on the other hand, abundant grounds for heckling.

We re-rank the songs, and there’s some differences in opinion for good and bad reasons. Don’t miss how we re-litigate the category. Do also check out our other halfisodes where we review Best Original Songs from Celine Dion, Frozen, Dirty Dancing, Nat King Cole, Aladdin, Stevie Wonder, and Flashdance.

Our podcast showcases a whole bunch more retrospectives on Oscar’s past. We’ve recently posted episodes on the 1991 Best Actress featured The Silence of the Lambs’ Jodie Foster and Thelma & Louise with part 2 on Laura Dern and Bette Midler. Before that we released a Best Original Screenplay from 1989 featured Dead Poets Society, Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, and When Harry Met Sally. Other retrospectives live in the early part of our back catalog if you enjoy how we mine Oscar history here.

We’ve also covered all the big hits recently released in theaters including Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and The Incredibles 2. Our Hereditary reviews break some new ground as we theorize about what that movie did and meant, and what it means for the upcoming Oscar races. We put an Oscar Lens on all these movies, and we’ve also previewed the heck out of all the releases of the year to date.

We’re a year round movie podcast, having fun with the Oscars off-season that may be winding down sooner than we think as July and August showcase a bunch more early contenders. Do check out our latest preview in ep 79. Plan your next movie night with us. When reality sucks, keep watching those movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
