At Mike, Mike, and Oscar, we love to love movies. So of course, we are fans of the galaxy far far away. Schmoedown Star Wars trivia champion, Ken Napzok just came on our show to talk about his new book - Why We Love Star Wars, his “responsible” fandom, & what he’s looking forward to with Episode IX. We covered The Last Jedi with a two part movie review, and we’ll create a Star Wars playlist for you this weekend with these four episodes in lieu of many more on our Soundcloud account.

But today is all about our reactions to the Star Wars Celebration Episode IX panel presentation. Stephen Colbert was the MC, Kathleen Kennedy & J.J. Abrams paid tribute to Carrie Fisher, and they interviewed many of the stars and droids in the film including Billy Dee Williams, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Anthony Daniels, Kelly Marie Tran, Naomi Ackie, Joonas Suotamo, R2D2, BB8, and an intro to the adorable new droid, D/0.

Finally, we give you our instant reactions & analysis to the new Teaser Trailer and the subtitle. What do we think it means? How should this film build upon Rian Johnson’s Episode VIII? What kind of fight scenes do we want? And what inappropriate jokes can we make in the process? Listen here to find out, and please tell your friends. We definitely busted our butts to give you those instant reactions today, and yes, we will be covering the Saga much more in the coming year. It does look Oscar-y, at least in terms of those magnificent production values.

Our Pixar re-watch continues with part II tomorrow covering both Monsters Inc & Monsters University. Check out our first episode on Toy Story and stay tuned for many more. We have 5 Oscar sprint profile reviews on the year thus far, as well as early projections & predictions, and many updates on our weekly variety show. Then of course, do check out our MMO Interviews series. SNL & Britanick’s Nick Kocher and Schmoedown’s Ken Napzok are our latest with several more of our favorite entertainers already booked in the coming weeks. So do go back and enjoy our back catalog and stay tuned for what’s to come from MMO.
