The Mikes of Oscar return for yet another installment of your favorite new podcast series, MMO Weekly, and to re-introduce what this new podcast format is all about, I ought to go no further than the Mike 1’s tagline. We review the Hollywood week that was and preview the Hollyweird week that will be.

In reviewing the Hollywood week that was, we started that off with a What We’re Watching segment that usually covers what else we’ve been taking in just for fun as moviegoers, TV watchers, or youtube addicted millennials. This week, Also Mike re-watched Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born while Mike 1 took in Making a Murderer: Season 2. We continue our movie trivia game SixDegreesOfMMO, read the winners of round 6, and officially designate our first two time winner and championship belt holder for this Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon inspired game. Then for our Stories of the Week segment, we review the trailer of The Lion King that broke FilmTwitter this past Turkey Day as well as the newest look at Tim Burton’s Dumbo before reviewing the illustrious filmography of Nicholas Roeg. And of course, we update you on the record breaking Thanksgiving week box office and the two big stories most recently affecting this year’s Oscar Race involving Vice and Green Book.

We also do a helluva lot to preview that Hollyweird week to come. Our Do You Care segment looks forward to next week’s box office as we weigh in on the upcoming theatrical releases: The Possession of Hannah Grace, Anna and the Apocalypse, and Mirai. We lay down the next SixDegreesOfMMO challenge no. 7, which will baffle / delight / enrage / arouse ALL of your movie trivia powers, and we dare you to solve this Gordian knot in only a few moves. Finally, our Oscar Race update does as much to review the big stories as it does to preview the upcoming Vice movie coming out in late December before we follow up on our recent Oscar Sprint Profile of Green Book by handicapping its chances at receiving love at the podium after yet another controversial story hit in the Hollywood trades.
