It’s our film study of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! There’s a non-spoiler first half where we discuss the opening box office success and if we’re allowed any Oscar hopes, and then we break down our favorite scenes in the spoiler-filled second half.

We build our non-spoiler first half towards an Oscars Lens segment before our spoiler section celebrates all our favorite scenes. So you could consider this film study episode on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings as both a Movie Event AND an Oscars Profile movie review.

There are also some high stakes for the upcoming theatrical release schedule that we foreshadow in the opening discussion, and we have fun speculating and contextualizing where this film fits in with the rest of the MCU in our back half. So do make sure to check out all of our Marvel film reviews via a scroll downward on the Playlist tab in our Soundcloud feed. We’ve kept up with reviews of all movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we plan to continue to do so.

Otherwise, and as always, we want to hear your thoughts on this film. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.
