First and foremost, we wish you all health & safety during this trying time, and with a likely quarantine on the horizon, we do want to help you all get through it with this episode on everything you could watch at home. Luckily, we got help from a lot of MMO’ers and many of our fellow podcasters, and we worked their suggestions into our presentation.
To start things off, we do cover some of the breaking news from earlier Wednesday evening for the first 15 minutes of the episode. Most of it holds up. But of course, at the time of recording, we had not yet heard the President’s address to the nation, the news about the NBA Season, or the unfortunate sickness of Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson. Undoubtedly more news will have broken since I wrote these show notes. So do stay tuned to our podcast feed in the upcoming weeks as we’ll continue to analyze the effects of the coronavirus on the industry at large, and we’ll certainly do another major update on Monday’s MMOW, if not sooner.
This episode followed our Top 5 ranking format. But we preview, review & recommend far more than just 5 things apiece. In fact, we have entire movie genres as entries for these Top 5 lists, and we tell you where you can find all of the available films, tv shows, & online video series so that you can watch at home. So along with the citations of what all our friends may recommend, both us Mikes discuss the offerings on VOD, premium TV, & your favorite streaming services. Then we also discuss what we plan on watching during whatever inevitable quarantine the coronavirus entails.
If you enjoyed this episode, do please take a moment to leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, and like we said in the episode, do click around our catalog of over 400 shows to go further in depth on anything we may have covered today.
