So we recorded another massive Oscar Race update for this upcoming award season and totally wiped ourselves out doing it. That is NOT this episode. THIS episode is what happened after that tremendously focused and well coordinated effort of content production. That will be our next episode of Hollywood H-H-HOT Takes giving you a complete overview of all the Oscar News coming out of the 3 renowned fall film festivals & previewing the NYFF. This is the rest of the topics we wanted to cover from the past month. It’s some fun stuff, the non-Oscar stuff, but since we were so goofy, we’re calling our Hollywood NOT Takes.

Because they’re NOT takes, basically… we just tell bizarre stories and make ridiculous references for 30 minutes, talking past each other like the obliquely written characters from a Noah Baumbach script. Even still, there’s a fun array of topics we should have addressed better. James Bond might be dead soon, Also Mike still pays for Moviepass for some reason, the Joker is actually just Joaquin Phoenix with a bad haircut, Henry Cavill is too hot for the DCEU, The Conjuring 3, Zombieland 2, and Rambo 5 all go into production soon, and Leonardo DiCaprio has the same fashion sense as one of your hosts.

So yes, these were all fun topics to discuss, but please don’t judge us too harshly. We’ll drop this as an early in the week bonus episode, and perhaps it could play on as a lively B-Side in your listening futures. If not, ...well, we had fun.

Do send us your #SixDegreesOfMMO round 3 submissions via social media. We are Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, where we’re our most active. Listen to the episode and send us those round 3 submissions which we’ll read on the air next week.

We hope you’ve been enjoying our late summer & early fall programming. There are Oscar Sprint Profiles and Movie Event reviews, several other news episodes on Best Popular Film and Moviepass, trailer round ups previewing the films of awards season, and of course, all kinds of retrospectives from The Conjuring Universe series back to our Best Original Song halfisodes. Thanks again for our best month ever in August, and we’re outpacing last month’s great number so far. When reality has sucked, you’ve been watching those movies with us. We thank you.
