Yes, of course, we begin with an Awards Season story regarding the submissions to the Golden Globes. Which contenders are going drama? Who’s going for comedy or musical? Which films have a track to gain Best Picture momentum with some wins from the HFPA? We discuss all. Then we did as we promised. We watched a ton of horror movies on streaming, VOD, and at the movies to give you some recommendations for the Halloween week to come. Also Mike describes how The Lighthouse is a metaphor for our podcast before reviewing a trio of classics and another few 2019 horror films. Then Mike 1 re-watched some of his favorites, while also scouring VOD & streaming for some indie recommendations. Trust his horror loving tastes with these takes. You gave us one of your better & more thorough efforts for SixDegreesOfMMO. Side conversations abound as we’re forced to present far more winners than normal. Thank you for all of the great feedback this past week, and if you didn’t get presented, there’s always the next challenge. Do please keep submitting. We have a lot of stats & milestones to discuss with our box office update as we cover the top 5, platform releases, and analyze some money losers. Then we review 3 new trailers for The Grudge, Bloodshot, and Antlers. And we close things out in DYC by discussing the upcoming releases in theaters, on VOD, and streaming to reveal our plans for future ORC’s and OSP’s. There’s some serious news about Harvey Weinstein before we finish with a few more fun stories about The Lord of the Rings TV series and The Rise of Skywalker.
