Mamo! — the show about movies and popular culture — focuses this week on the identities of the various platforms in the Streaming Wars, and somehow does all of that without mentioning the demise of.... Quazzle? Quambo? Quimdim? Quizzle. Qui-gon. Quaqum. Quo. 

MAMO!

Mamo 1044: Quiblammo

SPOILER WARNING! Summer is here and so are the Avengers, perhaps for the last time! We desperately attempt to recap our AVENGERS: ENDGAME glee in a crowded restaurant before laying out our guesswork for which films will come in below ENDGAME in the summer's top ten list. Join us for a slice, won't ya? 

Mamo 587: Professor Hulk

Can you believe we've done 500 of these? Neither can we! It's time to convene a Wizengamot on the future fates of the Harry Potter Expanded Universe, as evidenced by the lukewarm-at-best reaction to J.K. Rowling and David Yates' FANTASTIC BEASTS 2: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD. 

MAMO 500: Fantastic Crimes And Where To Grind Them

Hello Mamo listeners! The Matts are off on a new adventure, a monthly podcast for the Modern Superior network profiling the recently deceased in our pop culture community. Give a listen, and subscribe, follow, and enjoy as you see fit! We're in iTunes, Libsyn, the Play Store, and at modernsuperior.com. 

Deathwatch Episode 1: HARRY DEAN STANTON (1926-2017)

Less about the Joss Whedon clusterfuck than one of its underlying questions: what's the deal with aspirational morality? 

Mamo 475: The Man, The Myth

The year is 2017. Orange Hitler is the president. And as Mamo predicted at the turn of the decade, movies are on their way out. Let's discuss. 

Mamo 474: The End Times

As Mamo gets near the end of its first season, we take in the formal mastery of DUNKIRK while wondering aloud: just white people? Really? And at least one of the Matts is a pretty hefty fan of GAME OF THRONES but greets this CONFEDERATE news with a hefty: really, white people? Really? 

Mamo 473: Dear White People

Is intellectual curiosity a privilege, or a basic human value? Springing off Matt Zoller Seitz's twitter conversation this week about easy-access movies, we parse out how harshly one can judge anyone in this day and age for being behind the curve. 

Mamo 472: We're Almost Up To The Breasts

Wonder Woman is here, and we dive deep into the suddenly-refreshing waters of the DCEU - with additional talk of Batman, the Justice League, Aquaman, and the cult of narrative around projects of this scale. Plus, Price's Disney boycott finally worked, and with Sense8 on its way out, peak TV may have finally peaked. 

Mamo 471: Peak Mamo

Summer? What summer? We're here to talk about cultural appropriation, as only two white guys can. 

Mamo 470: Problematic Faves

Building on comments in episode 463 ("Uber Iger"), we have another look at the political landscape that Disney is influencing, with an eye on the long game re: representation, diversity, and globalization. Is a billionaire vs. billionaire rumble coming? Plus, many special guest stars! 

Mamo 469: Disney's 2020 Vision

The summer season kicks off in just three weeks and the Boys Of Summer (trademark pending) are back to pick the hits and misses of the forthcoming box office season! 

Mamo 468: It's A Good Friday... For Picking Summer Blockbusters!

Brown returns from Japan with stories to share, just as a swath of Orientalist garbage swamps the west - Iron Fist, Ghost in the Shell, and Death Note. Plus, let's talk about the competing nostalgist philosophies of Beauty & The Beast and T2: Trainspotting! 

Mamo 467: Big Man Japan

Mamo covers its second lifetime regime of a King Kong as Legendary expands its cinematic universe with KONG: SKULL ISLAND. Spoilers: it’s a movie about a giant monkey 

Mamo 466: Viet Kong

As if inspired by our recent comments re: our lane and his, Bozo POTUS doubled down on bringing the pop culture straight into the American government. Is Saturday Night Live now the voice of the resistance? Will corporations tilt towards, or away from, the cheesy-haired weirdo? If pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, can PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES be the right course? 

Mamo 464: Live From Trump Tower It's Saturday Night!

Matt & Matt talk about movies and popular culture. Now available at mamo.ca.
