Whether you’re listening before the Academy Awards to help fill out your Oscar Pool, or you’re listening after the Award show to score how we did, we think this episode could be a fun listen. First of all, we discuss the betting odds. So you can compare what was supposed to happen with what you’re predicting or with what actually happened. In either case, we had some fun chatting about it, and there’s a full meal of movie talk on your plate with all the usual MMO trimmings.

We banter, and we digress with strange stories from our own moviegoing experiences. We debate, ponder, rage, and theorize. Not only do we discuss the big 7 categories that we usually cover on our podcast, but we also weigh in on our favorites and our predictions for all the other categories.

Pat us on the back for what we get right. Yell at us for what we botch. Whatever happens, feel free to chat with us on social media. We’re on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. Our website is under construction, and do stay tuned for that. In the meantime, know we’re more than happy to chat about movies whether the mics are hot, or we’re online chatting with you on social media.

Do stay tuned. We’ll have the MMO’s, the Mike Mike & Oscars, where we will give you our favorites from the year in movies. We’ll discuss our favorite performances, script, director, and our top 10 films of the year during these MMO’s, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Then we’ll help you transition into 2018 with our Year in Preview episode that’ll discuss the early bird favorites for next year’s Oscars as well as what movies we’re most hyped about in this coming year.

As always, thank you for all your cooperation and support. It’s been humbling and encouraging to see our audience grow and participate in what we’re doing. Thanks for tolerating our growing pains and of course, thanks for listening. When reality sucks, watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
