Obviously, as an Oscar themed podcast, when we review a movie, it usually has awards potential or an awards connection of some kind. But we also love to review great films PERIOD, and those come in all shapes, sizes, & marketing campaigns. Mike & I love to find the next cult classic or the next pleasant surprise that won’t get the awards attention they deserve. So when we feel compelled to review a film that’s not gonna contend for an Oscar or be a part of one of our Oscar related re-watch series, we proudly call that a movie event.
But how do we somehow stay on brand while reviewing “another” kind of film, a non-awards contender? Welp, we fixed all that with this new format because we turned our movie event episodes into mock awards shows. This is something we’ve done a half dozen times - usually to culminate one of our re-watch series & always to complete each year of movie watching with our Mike, Mike & Oscars. So it’s hopefully something in our wheelhouse. But in any case, it’s a whole lot of fun to prepare & record, and we hope you like it.
This is our fourth movie event on the year. We’ve done a deep dive into Midsommar, added to our Conjuring Universe series with a review of Annabelle Comes Home, and of course, we did a review of Spider-Man: Far From Home to stay on pace with our complete coverage of the MCU. There’s also 9 films & 12 episodes (with 3 two parters) in our 2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profiles playlist. The Farewell is our most recent entry into our OSP’s. So we’ve now covered 13 films in 2019 with many more to come. In fact, we’ll be reviewing Ready Or Not next week.
Do let us know what you think of Good Boys. How does it rank with other films in this genre like Booksmart, Superbad & Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Give us your takes.
