Hug your Nai Nai tight. This is the best movie about grandparents maybe ever, and we really enjoyed this review. But questions remain. Can A24 mount an Oscars campaign for Lulu Wang, Awkwafina, and company? Or will we be upset like the Hereditary & Eighth Grade snubs? HEY! YOU!

There’s a non-spoiler section, where we debate it’s Oscar chances, review the production values, performances, and give some general thoughts about the script. We also enjoy a few great stories heard from Lulu and the cast during their promotional interviews. Then it’s all spoilers, and do trust our word here. For the biggest spoiler hits right after our warning. The Farewell is our 9th OSP for this coming Awards Season. Make sure you check out that playlist (2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profiles) in our Soundcloud feed. We’ve also reviewed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Toy Story 4, Rocketman, Avengers: Endgame, Us, Apollo 11, Fighting With My Family, and Captain Marvel in this series, and as we do, we’ll continue to review all of the eventual nominees in this playlist. We’ve also started our second weekly variety show last week called Oscar Race Checkpoint. Here, we’ll keep you updated on all of the news, buzz, projections, trailers, etc… on the upcoming awards season. We’ll recap award shows and bump the series to our Monday/ Tuesday time slot once they start handing out hardware, and we’ve also been brainstorming a bunch of fun segments regarding audience interaction, a weekly look back to Oscar History, & much more. There’s also our MMO Weekly show, where we spun off Oscar Race Checkpoint. Here you get all the rest of the movie & tv topics we can’t help but cover, because we love far more than just Oscar films. In that same vein, we also love to review popular films that we call Movie Events. This is where we include our favorite new film reviews like Spider-Man: Far From Home and cool genre films like Midsommar. Finally, we’ve had the busiest of off-seasons with 2 huge retrospective series. This year we re-watched all of Pixar and Tarantino leading into Toy Story 4 and OUATIH. In years past, we’ve done the MCU, Mission Impossibles, Conjuring Universe, and Halloween franchise. All these can be found in the “Playlists” tab on our Soundcloud homepage. So no matter your taste, we have episodes for you. Let us know what you think about The Farewell or have fun with our audience interaction games & twitter questions. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.
