MAMO!

Mamo 1044: Quiblammo

October 24, 2020 15:31 - 19.9 MB

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 587: Professor Hulk

April 28, 2019 14:38 - 30 MB

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 500: Fantastic Crimes And Where To Grind Them

November 21, 2018 13:16

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.

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

November 06, 2017 14:19

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.

Mamo 475: The Man, The Myth

August 22, 2017 04:47

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

Mamo 474: The End Times

August 20, 2017 20:06

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 473: Dear White People

July 30, 2017 14:58

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 472: We're Almost Up To The Breasts

July 15, 2017 15:49

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 471: Peak Mamo

June 03, 2017 14:38

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 470: Problematic Faves

May 21, 2017 18:01

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

Mamo 469: Disney's 2020 Vision

April 21, 2017 19:27

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

April 14, 2017 16:37

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 467: Big Man Japan

March 29, 2017 01:09

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 466: Viet Kong

March 11, 2017 05:06

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

February 06, 2017 23:24

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 463: Uber Iger

February 02, 2017 12:44

America is dying a very specific "Germany in the mid-1930s" sort of death, and even if we don't know the outcome, we're beginning to identify the collaborators. Not so Mamo-related when it's a taxi company, but what about when it's the chairman of Disney? What are our responsibilities to this "popular culture" we've been gabbing about for 12 years? Before you say "stay in your lane," sorry friends, this shit is our lane.

Mamo 462: Ad Oscarnitum

January 27, 2017 00:03

Team 'Mo gathers once again to discuss the 2017 Oscar nominations, which are fairly boring, but as ever, we are not.

Mamo 461: The Roddenberry Box

January 17, 2017 13:22

The "separate the art from the artist" debate rears its head once again, as allegations arise against Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek says we'll evolve: can we?

Mamo 460: THE MAMO !!!POWER!!! LIST 2016

December 31, 2016 15:44

POWER!! Who has it? Who needs it? Who wants it? Who lost it? Team Mamo recaps the year 2016 in movers and shakers as the pop cultural landscape is wracked by celebrity deaths, digital doubles and orange-faced idiots. Hey 2016: don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. And for sure don’t fall down that flight of stairs, accidentally set yourself on fire and throw yourself off a bridge.

Mamo 459: Rogue Two

December 31, 2016 15:38

In advance of tomorrow night's Superticket, the Mamo twosome gather to come down against ROGUE ONE - and the discrepancy between the movie Disney marketed and the movie we actually got.

Super Ticket Episode 8 - Rowgue Three

December 19, 2016 19:52

Mamo and Cinecast unite to form the Super Ticket! We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are one with the force, the force is with us. We are...

Mamo 458: Represent This

December 03, 2016 17:17

What are the limits of representation? Looking at MOANA and in light of Kathleen Kennedy's recent comments re: female directors for STAR WARS, we have a gab.

Mamo 457: OWN'd

October 10, 2016 15:36

Welcome back to Mamo! Join us for a far-ranging discussion that starts with Donald Trump, Devin Faraci, and complicity in rape culture; wraps its arms around Ava DuVernay's 13th and Queen Sugar and the proper use of one's "power list" capital; and gets, generally, into where we are right now.

Mamo 456: Lick Icing Off My Ring

October 03, 2016 13:20

It's time to close up the summer of 2016 with respect to box office, and the box office contest! We anoint a new winner and talk about the summer that sorta wasn't.

Mamo 455: Vulvaesque

September 19, 2016 11:42

We almost made it out of TIFF 2016 without ever doing a show, but not quite! Joined (and prompted) by special guest star Shelagh Rowan-Legg, we have a look at a couple of remarkable genre films about women - RAW and THE UNTAMED - before diving into MOONLIGHT and the question of representation, as things finally begin to move forward.

Mamo 454: Freeballin'

August 15, 2016 00:00 - 15.7 MB
