Mahershala, here’s another Oscar. ***This Review of Green Book has a Spoiler Section*** Although for the record, we spoil the ever living shit out of Hidalgo pretty early on in this podcast, if that means anything to ya. What is an OSP? - 1:14 Non-Spoiler Review of Green Book Cast & Crew & Viggo / Mahershala Filmographies - 2:05 Movie Specs & Our Theories on the Critical Numbers - 11:54 Plot Premise / Expectations - 19:10 Best Picture / Director Oscar Lens & Our Teaser Review - 22:27 Review of the Production Values - 26:45 THESE Performances. Wow. - 29:42 Final Thoughts & Screenplay Criticisms - 34:12 Spoiler Warning Dance Music - 37:04 The Plot Overview - 38:55 Worst Scenes - 43:03 Best Scenes - 51:03 Final Final Thoughts & Grades - 1:00:43 Outro / Social Media / Words of Wisdom? - 1:01:43 Green Book is a MAJOR Oscars contender, worthy of an opening night review from us. The performances certainly lived up to the hype, but can the movie live up to pre-season expectations? Can it knock off A Star Is Born, & what is it’s path to victory? We dive into these questions & many more in this Oscar Sprint Profile. As always, you get two reviews for the price of one. Our non-spoiler section discusses some of essential filmographies of the key cast & crew including Peter Farrelly, Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, and Linda Cardellini. We break down how and why that 70 metascore number has come to be, theorizing on some past trends in recent Best Picture votes. Then we view the rest of our non-spoiler review of the production values, performances, and script through an Oscar Lens before we dance. In the spoiler section, we cover the essential plotline, but take the time to analyze several of the best & worst scenes & sequences. Since there’s a lot to like and dislike about the movie, we have substantive discussions on this genre and how it’s played to the Academy in year’s past. Plus, you get several anecdotes about Italian family dinners past, present, and future. We’re burning the candle at both ends to cover as many of these Oscar films and movie events as we possibly can. Do check out our massive catalog of previous episodes and scroll down for our playlists on our Soundcloud account. As we did last year, we’ll cover all of the major nominees later if not sooner, but we will get to them all. Though we have had a ton of fun with these premiere night viewing / recording sessions, and Green Book was certainly another wild late night behind the microphones. Did you see Green Book?
