Ever since they threw their hats in the Oscar ring with Ava DuVernay’s 13th, we knew our Award centric podcast needed to cover this streaming giant. Our 2017 Netflix Year in Review remains one of our most popular episodes. So we wanted to give you more of what you love, what you demand. This is our first 2018 Netflix Quarterly Review. We take a stab at being TV critics as we discuss our favorite binge watches, we catch you up on where we left off in 2017 with another seven films we didn’t cover in MMO Ep. 9, & then we conduct 22 rapid fire reviews of the Netflix Original Movies released in January, February, and March of this year. The Netflix catalog is vast, and we come through with reviews of most of their original films before taking a deeper look at two of our favorites, Veronica and Annihilation. There’s a top 5 in between our two main movie reviews, where we count down our favorites. Then we finish the episode with both a non-spoiler and spoiler filled review of our final film, Annihilation. Our reviews of Veronica and Annihilation follow the usual MMO format as we begin with Cast & Crew information, production notes, movie specs, and the plot premise. Then we cover our thoughts on the production values, performances, best & worst scenes, and our final thoughts & grades. As a bonus, we include a plot breakdown and intense debate over the mind bender, Annihilation in a section that required full spoilers. Do please check out our back catalog of episodes. From our 2017 Oscar Sprint to Retrospectives on the films of Oscar history to themed episodes like our look at Basketball Movies to our movie event reviews like Star Wars: The Last Jedi & Black Panther, all the way to our Marvel Cinematic Universe pods, we want to help you plan your next movie night.
