What a loaded MMO Weekly episode this turned out to be! Of course, we begin with some awards season talk after the Toronto International Film Festival picked Jojo Rabbit as its Audience Award Winner. Since there’s a strong correlation between this Grolsch sponsored award & the Best Picture category, we must speculate here.
Then in What We’re Watching, Also Mike caught up on a bunch of new movies on VOD & Netflix like Tall Girl, Ma, Child’s Play, Yesterday, etc…, while Mike 1 re-lived his formative years with Scrubs, Final Fantasy VIII, and Penn & Teller.
You outdid yourselves once again with SixDegreesOfMMO, and we give you another challenge for next week. There’s a box office update both abroad with Downton Abbey’s early numbers and with the surprise hit Hustlers & the continued profitability of evil clowns with It Chapter Two. We review the new trailer for Doctor Sleep, and then we discuss a ton of news & awards beginning with next week’s theatrical releases. Make sure you check out our OSP of Downton Abbey and stay tuned for our episodes on Hustlers & Ad Astra. Moviepass finally died, we talk about the 45th Saturn Awards and the first night of the Creative Arts Emmys, and there were fun stories about Margot Robbie producing Tank Girl, Disney Plus, Game Of Thrones prequels, & the loaded cast of Suicide Squad 2!
