Welcome to the Movie Podcast Weekly Halloween Edition! This is Episode 109. For this show, Jason and Josh bring back special guest ChrisExcess, a Terror Trooper who hails from Mexico City, Mexico. We bring you four Feature Reviews of John Wick and Annabelle and Open Windows and The Town That Dreaded Sundown. We’ve also prepared a special section for Halloween, with all types of creepy movie recommendations for viewers with a variety of sensitivity and sensibilities…

And as a follow-up to Josh’s review of “The Book of Life” in our previous episode, ChrisExcess gives us some cultural insights into Dia de los Muertos (“Day of the Dead”), which is a Mexican holiday that takes place between October 31st and November 2nd, where observers remember friends and family members who have passed away.

We give you our verdicts on at least one new movie release from the current year that’s currently playing in theaters or on VOD, as well as several mini reviews of whatever we’ve been watching lately.

Episode 107

This episode is dedicated to our co-host and friend Karl Huddleston.

Welcome to Movie Podcast Weekly, Episode 107! Our Feature Reviews this week are Dracula Untold and The Judge and The Longest Swim and See No Evil 2 and Swelter and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. This week, we are joined once again by our Podbody Award-Winning guest, Wild Man Willis Wheeler.

Also in Episode 107, we bid a (hopefully temporary) farewell to beloved co-host Karl Huddleston, who is taking an indefinite sabbatical from the show. Karl will remain an official co-host of the podcast; he will not be replaced; and he is always welcome back. We wish him well and, like Man-at-Arms and Teela from the Masters of the Universe movie, we do not say “Goodbye” to our friend Karl but rather, “Good Journey!” for each destiny is but a doorway to another.

If you’re new to our show… Movie Podcast Weekly now features three hosts—(the film critic) Jason, (the filmmaker) Josh, and (the guy named) Andy—along with frequent guests. Each week we give you our verdicts on at least one new release that’s currently playing in theaters or on VOD, as well as several mini reviews of what we’ve been watching lately and specialty recommendation segments. New episodes release every single Tuesday!

Happy new year this week! And welcome to Episode 066, where your boys at Movie Podcast Weekly each list THE TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2013, so you get 40 (not necessarily all unique) take-it-to-the-bank, must-see “buy-it’s.” But we also list off all our honorable mentions, which gives you about 60 Honorable Mentions (again, not all unique) that are take-it-to-the-bank, guaranteed good rentals. We also list off 40 of our Biggest Disappointments of 2013, which aren’t necessarily bad, just disappointing. But Karl, Andy and Jason give you 15 movies from 2013 that they absolutely freakin’ hated, while Joshua “take-the-high-road” Ligairi alternately gives you 8 movies that he thought he would dislike, but were pleasant surprises.

Oh, yeah, and we also Feature Review “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Saving Mr. Banks” and “Runner Runner.” All this and so much more awaits you during this 3-hour and 44-minute episode of Movie Podcast Weekly.

Note: For your convenience, we’ve listed most of our picks in the show notes below (as opposed to a password-protected listing). So, if you opt not to listen to this hilariously entertaining show, please at least give us a download out of it. Thanks! Happy 2014. Continue reading →
