OUTRO: Hopefully you continue to tune into future episodes of this series, despite our early wrestling matches with these films. We do want to combat the rest of them, continuing with Babel and Biutiful in the coming weeks. Obviously, we’re leading up to Digger starring Tom Cruise in the fall. Otherwise, you can stay tuned for future episodes of Oscar Race Checkpoint and Oscar Profile Movie Reviews, as well as more specials, interviews, etc… as we head into yet another awards season here on MMO. https://linktr.ee/mikemikeandoscar
