If you thought we couldn’t milk this Oscar Trailers Cow anymore than we have, think again. Here’s Oscar Trailers 6! Even to our astonishment, it turned out to be a loaded episode. We update you on all of the Oscar movie previews that acts both as a trailer round-up AND another Oscar Race update since we cover many of the main contenders.

We include a lot of stats & numbers on all of our favorite critical reception marks including Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB audience & metascore. We also summarize and chronicle the Oscar Race & shout out our favorite prediction pundits and websites like Clayton Davis & Awards Circuit, Anne Thompson, Peter Travers, and all of the predictors included on Goldderby, and of course, the grand poobah himself, Scott Feinberg at The Hollywood Reporter. Thank you for doing such great work, friends. We wanna-be you, and imitation ought to be the greatest form of flattery to be sure. We also give a shout out to our friends at Next Best Picture and their recent review of The Front Runner. So do go and read / listen to all of these awesome Oscar pundits, and we take all their words as gospel as we weigh in ourselves.

As Mike 1 loves to reference our Oscar Mural metaphor, the painting of said Mural is now about complete. We have 5 previous Oscar Trailer episodes for you to enjoy, and our Soundcloud feed now features a playlist of all our Oscars 2018/19 awards season buzz and updates that includes this series as one of our go-to previews that we hope has become one of your go-to’s for your Oscar pod listening pleasure, even if it’s a guilty pleasure at that.

We do not spare the banter in this one, and do please let us both know what you’re thinking. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and our website is progressing toward an awards season launch date.

Do send us your SixDegreesOfMMO responses to Challenge number 5, which you can hear on our debut of MMO Weekly, where we focused on A Star Is Born that of course, we followed up on in this episode with some Green Book talk here. When reality has sucked, you’ve been watching Oscar movies and Oscar Trailers with us. As always, thanks for listening!
