Bohemian Rhapsody is also making some chart topping box office this weekend, and we’re all over it’s success with 3 episodes dedicated to the genre, the film, and the great band on which this blockbuster is based. So enjoy the soundtrack and then our review, or vice versa. MMO is all over this Rami Malek / Freddie Mercury movie event. Our non-spoiler portion of the show opens up with a discussion of the loaded cast, headlined by the terrific performance by Rami Malek. Then we chronicle the saga about the director(s) of the film before giving you the lowdown on the production backstory. We then gush over the production values as we get some serious movie goods delivered through more than just the visual sense from this movie. The spoiler warning dance music plays, we riff on David Bowie opportunities missed, and then we dive into our analysis of the plot. There’s a lot of worst scenes mixed into the highs of this movie. Rami Malek is undeniably good as the epic frontman, but the script may commit some unforgivable sins. Do you agree? Let us know on social media.
