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 106

This episode is dedicated to our friend Anthony Bruno.

Episode 106 is 3 hours and 32 minutes of good times. (But in case we get too long-winded on any portion — such as our specialty segments — we’ve included the time stamps for your convenience.) Jason, Andy and Josh are joined by special guest film critic Cody Clark to help us review Gone Girl (with a spoiler section after the end credits) and Cold in July and A Fantastic Fear of Everything and The Two Faces of January.

Is there a 2014 movie that you’ve been wondering about that we haven’t covered yet? Let us know in the comments which 2014 movies you’d still like to hear us review before the end of the year. Thanks for listening!

In this special Halloween bonus episode of Movie Podcast Weekly, we deviate from our normal format and bring you a creepy double-feature review: The landmark adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining and a new documentary, Room 237, that explores the many conspiracy theories surrounding Kubrick’s classic film.

In addition to being the first MPW non-premium bonus episode, this also marks the special occasion of the four horseman podcasting together—in-person—for the first time ever! That’s right, Jason, Karl, Andy, and Josh were all finally in the same room together—Chad Downey’s beautiful home theater to be exact—and we have a podcast to prove it.

We screened the two films back to back and then sat down with Chad to give you our two cents. We hope this enhances your Halloween season.
