noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 08:02:39 -0500

Pantsed. Smoked. Taken to task and found wanting. That's me anyway (Matt Brown), with my 2008 summer box office picks. How did the other Matt do, and how did you do? We recap this crazy summer of Batmania in today's installment...

Mamo #120: Blood in the water

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:59:57 -0500

Everybody's got a move to make this week - Warner Bros. shuffled Harry Potter to take advantage of next summer's tentpole gap, and signaled their intent to change the way they develop comic book movies in light of Dark Knight's continuing success. Meanwhile, United Artists fell apart, Tropic did Pineapple business, and Kevin Smith is ridin' the wave. It's all in this week's Mamo.

Mamo #119: Mamo a Mamo

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 18:57:24 -0500

Back so soon? Well, when we have something more to say we damn well say it. Thank goodness we continue to be provided with life's rich tapestry, here's another installment. Enjoy.

Mamo #118: Batmamo!

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:45:40 -0500

Three whole years of Mamo's extraordinary amazingtude have brought us right back to the beginning: Christopher Nolan's done a Batman movie, and holy shafizzle, they don't come any better than this. It's an extra-long anniversamamo, and we are so glad to have you! (Join our Facebook page!) (Pleeeeeaaaase!)

Mamo #117: June's Done Busting Out All Over

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:55:33 -0500

After SATC came and went, it's been a little too quiet out there in summer movie land. Is june always like this, we seem to remember that there was more going on.

Mamo #116: Sex and the Single Guy

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:30:24 -0500

Over the weekend, hundreds of thousands of women went to see Sex and the City and - there's no other way to describe it - geeked out. Do the girls need their Indy too? Is a core audience component being sorely underserved (again)? Does a movie have to be good if it already has great shoes?

Mamo #115: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Unwieldy Title That Robs the Movie of a Certain Elegance Required for this Kind of Thing to Work

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 25 May 2008 14:04:11 -0500

It's hard not to just degenerate into a mass of fanboy complaining when one of our real heroes is at stake, but hey man, we don't even try. SPOILERS!

Mamo #114: Mamo GoGoGo!

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:04:11 -0500

Speed Racer didn't get out of the starting blocks, didn't win, didn't place, didn't even finish the race. Why?

Mamo #113: Iron Mamo.

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:23:53 -0500

Iron Man opened this weekend with a higher take than even the optimists have expected, and Marvel celebrated by unveiling their plans for the rest of "phase 2" of their movie-making career. What does this hold for the future of comic book movies? Let's find out. Or at least, speak as though we know things.

Mamo #112: Fight the Future

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:28:17 -0500

The Matt's weigh in with their big summer movie boffo b.o. predictorama, vying once again for the title of prognostication professional. As always, the eventual winner will be named Matt. But don't let that stop you, throw your own predictions into the comments below!

Mamo #111: The Doldrums, Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:21:11 -0500

In which, very notably, nothing is still going on! But our intrepid hosts are winsome and upbeat as they talk about all things Pixar, Clooney, and summer '08...

mamo #110: Call me Porn King Vogel

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 01:16:10 -0500

Our definition of a weekly show continues to evolve, as do the two of us. If only something about the movie business excited us.

Mamo #109: Requiem for a Jamomo

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:35:04 -0600

Having skipped our annual Oscar show, we recap the night nonetheless, with hits and misses, surprises and outrages, and absolutely no fashion commentary whatsoever (except for a tiny bit about Ben Affleck's shirt).

Mamo #108: Returning from our irregularly scheduled lives...

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 06:30:36 -0600

After another prolonged absence, we make yet more excuses and then get right down to Mamo.

Mamo #107: Light a candle

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:00:37 -0600

No other way to say it: losing Heath Ledger just sucks. We'll do our level best to commemorate, and then look at the Oscars and the comings and goings of 1-18-08.

Mamo #106: What if they gave an awards show, and nobody came?

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:46:41 -0600

The Golden Globes yawned their way out of a press conference last night, and we took the time to comment whilst the show was not going on.

Mamo #105: The one where we go too far

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 23:11:42 -0600

2007 is at a close, so it's time for a year-end wrap-up, as the Matts find themselves on opposite sides of a pair of top ten lists, as well as union rights, and a certain format war. Happy new year!

Mamo #104: For a Compass, it's got a lousy sense of direction.

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 15:02:07 -0600

Alvin. ALVIN! AAALLLLLLVIIINNNNNNN! Good lord it's quiet out there, but there's more than enough to discuss in recent failures to make a show out of.

Mamo #103: We were on strike

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 21:56:42 -0600

No we weren't. But life got in the way bigtime for most of November; now we're back to cover what we missed. Ridley! Beowulf! Compass! Sweeney! We missed ya.

Mamo #102: There is no more barrel, there is only gun

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 07:09:42 -0600

The writers strike looms large, and what will become of our delightful business that we call show? How long can hollywood exist without the written word?

Mamo 101: The TV Show, episode 3

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew C. Brown and Matthew Price) — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 21:47:16 -0500

As has become an annual tradition, the Mamo crew takes a break from the movies and looks at the idiot box for a roundtable recap of new and returning fall shows. And hey, nary a snide Grey's Anatomy comment in the bunch. This is progress!
