Also Mike has mostly bad experiences in this regard. So you can go back & laugh at my pain. We also preview each of the regular basketball movies we’re gonna discuss for the rest of this series and hand out a few awards. That means we have most of the awards for the live action features here in part 2. Check out the categories above and listen as we have WAY TOO MUCH FUN discussing these categories. From TV sketch comedy to Snickers commercials to great movies that happen to be about basketball, this is vintage Mike, Mike, & Oscar. Don’t miss this exciting finish to our March Madness inspired episode. Lebron was funny in Trainwreck, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was hysterical in Airplane, and somehow, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh wins an award for Doctor J. We theorize about the upcoming Uncle Drew & Space Jam 2, and we pick our favorite basketball movie of all time before we close down this animated discussion. How’d we do? If you agree or disagree, whatever you think, do tell us on social media. We’re on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. Please help us spread the word about our podcast. A few clicks, a positive review, and of course a recommendation to a friend or family member will help us. Thanks for your assistance, and we certainly appreciate your hoops fandom as well as your dedication to us during these early days of our show. We have a lot of fun Oscar off-season episodes in store for you. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has built up to an upcoming crescendo with The Avengers: Infinity War. So we’re gonna review all 18 MCU movies leading up to 4/27’s Infinity War in six 3 movie episodes beginning later this week. We’re also preparing to mine Oscar History with another retrospective, and we’ll have some movie event reviews for upcoming theatrical releases that we’ve already previewed in two 2018 episodes released last week, our Spring Preview and our 2019 Oscar Predictions pods. Do go back and listen to those and any episode from our back catalogue as you prepare for you next movie night. Thanks again for watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
