Mike, Mike, and Oscar

Our “Shocked To Love” Movies Top 5 finished the show after we began with how Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” went to Apple. What’s the future of the streaming wars now that Apple threw its weight around with prestige films? + Another fun Top 5 list & our stories.

So we began with a rundown of all the angles of the story to Scorsese’s latest partnership with Apple TV+ and how his next film, Killers of the Flower Moon was purchased by the streamer with a lot of help & guidance still coming from Paramount. What is Apple’s grand plan? How does it differ from what Netflix & Amazon Prime has done? We break it all down and compare the various plans Apple has applied to its eventual Oscar chase. They’ve teamed with A24 on Sophia Coppola’s “On The Rocks,” starring Bill Murray & Rashida Jones, and they’ve purchased the distribution rights to the Tom Hanks battleship film, Greyhound. Now they’ve taken their biggest swing yet on the Leonardo DiCaprio / Robert De Niro starrer for Martin Scorsese. Then Mike & I tacked on another fun Top 5, which we hope connects to Killers of the Flower Moon project in our Shocked To Love Movies countdown. Which films opened up entire new horizons for us in the movie world? Which plagued productions totally redeemed themselves? How many ME-problems can we explain about ourselves in one episode?
