Our trailer thoughts specials have been an MMO pastime, and we’ve always enjoyed a talk radio styled segment or two. So it was time to merge the style with the substance with a goofy new way to talk about these trailers with “or, as Mike puts it.” One Mike does a quick synopsis, the other Mike pretends he just watched it in a theater and reacts. It’s a weird and fun way to introduce our thoughts on the first few of these trailers

Before we dive into all the trailers, we catch you up on some release date changes. Films have moved off the calendar as expected, while others solidified plans for PVOD or streaming to assure us they’ll be a part of this awards season. Then we dive into our trailer reviews on Happiest Season, Wild Mountain Thyme, The Midnight Sky, The White Tiger, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, The Prom, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Raya and the Last Dragon, Mank, News of the World, & The Life Ahead.

So if you enjoyed this episode, please take a few moments to leave us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts. Otherwise, we have many more episodes of Oscar Race Checkpoint in our recent catalog, including a two part Fall Oscars Special with Ryan McQuade, a Film Festival Variety Show reviewing NYFF, Middleburg, & AFI, and in our very last recording session, a recap and analysis of all nominations for the Gotham & European Film Awards, plus a review of the shortlist at DOC NYC. Of course, these episodes are the first of many as we embark on the longest awards season in Academy history this fall, winter, and yes, spring.

As always, we want to know what you think about these trailers or anything we discussed in this or any episode.
