We also discuss our plan for the next / last SixDegreesOfMMO, the Box Office, trailers for Judy and Madness in the Method, Rip Torn’s great career, next week’s release of The Lion King, Marvel’s plans for Comic Con, Disney, Beyonce, a Lebowski spinoff, Sherlock Holmes 3, and Ghostbusters 2020. Per usual, we cover a ton of subjects in another episode of MMO Weekly. We theorize about big picture plans of Netflix, Disney, and Marvel. We compare and contrast the performance of original storytelling like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood & Midsommar and that of sequels, prequels, & reboots of established franchises like Spider-Man & Toy Story at the box office. Then we also react to hollywood news stories, trailers, & the upcoming release schedule. Plus, we do what we do best & project not just this awards season, but 2020’s as well. Stay tuned for a full schedule of MMO audio entertainment over the next few weeks. We’ll continue our Tarantino Re-Watch Series with reviews of Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight. We’ll also be previewing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood before giving the contender our Oscar Sprint Profile review treatment. The Farewell is also in our OSP plans as we establish in this opening. Then we also have parts 2 & 3 of our Mid-Year Oscars Report coming your way over the next two weeks. We’ve updated last week’s challenge for SixDegreesOfMMO, and we hope you have fun with it.
