Steven Spielberg has been outspoken about streaming services in the past, especially when it’s pertained to the awards shows we cover, and now he’s teaming up with who? For what? And with what movies?!?! We also discuss the awards season calendar as the BAFTAs have set their date, and we celebrate news from The Academy as they’ve selected a new Board of Governors. We then dive back into our ongoing analysis of the movie going industry as Mike 1 used his legal background and researched bankruptcies after the news about Pacific Theaters and Arclight Cinemas. There’s also some encouraging summer projections and a fun set of early Toronto film fest selections. For our last 35 minutes, Also Mike makes 12 film recommendations from the Tribeca Film Festival, and to do this, we present another MMO Homemade Awards Show format. There’s a best documentary category with bonafide Oscar contenders, we give out some performance awards to both some Oscar hopefuls and breakthrough artists, and there’s also some must see genre films that we want you to discover. So as always, do please let us know your thoughts. What are some otherwise hidden gems you want us to know about and review?
