Unqualified Emmy Reactions 2: Mike1's Mic Is Off. Again. - ORC 7/15/21

Hey. It still sounds close to normal. But Mike1’s mic just plain decided not to work. Our apologies. The last time this happened was, ironically, during our Emmy Noms Reaction Show last year. Otherwise, there’s also a ton of movie news & Oscars stuff for the first 50 mins. What Is This Episode? - Top of Show . A24 MAY BE SNIFFING FOR A SALE - 2:20 .

Where To Find Our Work/LEAVE US 5* REVIEWS! - 1:07:25 Words of Wisdom/What’s Coming Next - 1:08:01 We end with 20 minutes of unqualified Emmy Nomination analysis, including some of the races we’re most hyped about AND how we’d improve the show forever if we were in charge. As always, we’ll let you be the judge if we should be in charge. But this is still an episode of Oscar Race Checkpoint for many good reasons. There are industry news discussions on A24 being possibly up for sale and what the Black Widow box office and Disney Plus PVOD numbers mean for the entertainment business at large. There are some very Oscar(y) trailers for what may be some future trophy winners in Flee, Dune, Encanto, The Lost Leonardo, and Pixar’s Turning Red. Then we move into some Oscar headlines regarding Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley, Leo’s bearded Don’t Look Up from Netflix, Kristen Stewart as Lady Di in Spencer, and some way too early supporting actor posturing for the ensemble of Bleecker’s Sundance film, Mass. Finally, as promised, we talk about the Emmy nominations, and for whatever they’re worth, you get our takeaways. So let us know what you think.
