The M&M Report: Instant(-ish) Reaction to the 2018 Oscars
Devin and I started recording an episode just after finishing the 2018 Oscars. This is not that episode, but it’s close enough.The M&M Report Predicts the 2018 Oscars
Having finally recovered from last year’s Best Picture snafu, Devin and I are back with our best guesses for this year’s Oscar winners. Here are our respective ballots, compiled separately.
(Devin and I discussed several of this year’s nominated films on our podcast. Do us a favor and check out our thoughts on Get Out; Baby Driver and Dunkirk; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; Lady Bird; Molly’s Game and Call Me By Your Name; and Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Post. Subscribe to The M&M Report on iTunes and Spotify, and check your feeds Monday morning for our fifth annual post-Oscars recap, to be recorded just minutes after the telecast ends.)
The M&M Report: “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “The Post”
West Coast correspondent Erin Vail returns to nerd out with me and Devin over Star Wars: The Last Jedi (0:00-23:20). Then they poke gentle fun at The Post for being, well, not unsubtle (23:20-38:50). Before she leaves, Erin drops a few pop culture recommendations of her own (38:50-end).
For more Erin content, check out her podcast, writing for The Prompt and consistently delightful Twitter feed.
The M&M Report: “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
Kevin Werner rejoins the podcast as a special Missouri correspondent to debate Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with me and Devin. This was fun.
