It’s our last MMO Weekly of 2018! We say goodbye to the year that was with a whole bunch of movie reviews, audience interactions, trailer thoughts, and updates on the Oscar Race, Christmas Box Office, and Hollywood News.

What we feared could have been a light episode turned into a loaded endeavor as we started things off by reviewing all of the biggest films to watch at home or out at the movie theaters. Aquaman dominated once again at the box office, and we reviewed it. Venom is also one of the year’s highest earners, it’s now on VOD as the Schmave's favorite film maybe ever, and we reviewed it. Then Netflix boasted some inconceivably high viewing numbers for Bird Box, and we reviewed that one as well.

So as an art-house driven Oscar pod, I’m not gonna lie: we felt pretty cool reviewing all these popular movies for once, and we kept the momentum going by reading a bunch of your responses to not one, but two fun Twitter questions from our account at MMandOscar. We shared some of your Best Scenes of the Year after our recent halfisode where we told you ours, and we swooped in upon the Fox Searchlight ad campaign and put our SixDegreesOfMMO’ers to work on their most recent challenge of Lupita N’Yongo to Emma Stone, which of course, you crushed.

The Box Office numbers skyrocketed over the Christmas Break, and we looked at some of the other big news stories of the week including Black Mirror, Holmes & Watson, those Bird Box numbers, and what we’re looking forward to at next week’s movie theater in our Do You Care segment. Finally, we capped off the episode with back to back bangers: a trailer review of Jordan Peele’s “Us,” including a dumb white guy’s interpretation of the Luniz song “I’ve Got 5 On It,” and an Oscar Race update with a whole bunch of love for the cast of “Vice,” which we also just reviewed this past week in an OSP.

MMOW has become a highlight of our every week’s recording schedule, our audience & our industry gives us another fantastic week of interactive movie talk, and if you thought this week was fun, we’ll have a special Golden Globe themed MMOW for you next Monday, Critics Choice reactions the following week, all leading up to the big one, our Oscar Nomination reactions on the third week of January. So whatever you do, make sure you tune into Mike, Mike, and Oscar every Monday.

To join in on the fun with SixDegreesOfMMO and our other interactive polls, pitches, & twitter questions, we’re at MMandOscar on that Twitter machine as well as Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us.
