Mulan, Tenet, and other new movies. Plus a deep dive into 1938 cinema for the Smackdown and well beyond. Definitely more Emmy talk, too, and the (virtual) ceremony. We'll hit Mickey Rooney's centennial and celebrate anniversaries of To Wong Foo, Se7en, and Mildred Pierce. And yes, updates to the Oscar charts even though the year still feels like end days.
