Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 385: Skyscraper Live (2026), Mercy (2026), Clika (2026)

Posted on June 17, 2026 by producer

The Four Horses’ Asses of the Apocalypse — Jason Pyles, Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” Huddleston, Ryan Elliott, and A Guy Named Andy — are back with another episode of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY. This week we bring you Feature Reviews of Skyscraper Live (2026), Mercy (2026), and Clika (2026), along with our Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately.

In Episode 385, the gang debates whether Netflix is intentionally making movies for people who spend more time staring at their phones than the screen, reacts to the newly announced Oscar nominations, and somehow turns a discussion about movie-watching into an existential crisis about modern attention spans. We also spend a surprising amount of time talking about James Bond, Stranger Things, Neil Diamond, and whether the state motto of West Virginia should officially be, “It’s Still the ’80s.”

You’ll also hear Jason gush over Song Sung Blue (2025), Ryan defend Daniel Craig as the One True Bond, and Andy explain why Alex Honnold climbing Taipei 101 was simultaneously one of the most incredible athletic achievements ever filmed and, somehow, not that big of a deal. Plus, Karl shares his thoughts on Train Dreams (2026), the gang discusses the dangers of free-solo climbing, and Andy once again volunteers his services as Jason’s unofficial dating consultant.

Other things we wondered that you might wonder while listening to this episode: Will Netflix eventually create movies specifically designed to be half-watched while doom-scrolling? Is Alex Honnold basically the Michael Jordan of climbing? Did Neil Diamond’s “America” get left out of Song Sung Blue for political reasons (or to avoid politics altogether)? Is Mercy one of the dumbest Ai thrillers ever made — or are audiences just more forgiving than Jason? Think about it. … Just think about it.

MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY is back with Episode 384! Join your fearless cinematic degenerates, Jason Pyles, Combat Karl “The Mad Irishman” Huddleston, Ryan Elliott, and a Guy Named Andy as they tackle Feature Reviews of Netflix’s gritty crime-thriller The Rip (2026), the hostage-drama throwback Dead Man’s Wire (2026), and zombie sequel extravaganza 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026). Along the way, the gang debates whether Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are secretly making movies just to hang out together, Karl gushes over Starfleet Academy while the internet apparently hates it, and Jay accidentally discovers that Stranger Things is … actually good? Plus: Surprise movie meetups, birthday shenanigans, Christian symbolism in horror films, and Karl uses ChatGPT to improve his résumé because apparently the machines really are taking over.

Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 382: Top 10 Movies of 2025

Posted on March 24, 2026 by producer

Movie Podcast Weekly returns with its biggest and most anticipated episode of the year: Episode 382, our annual BMOTY celebration, where we count down and declare our Best Movie of the Year during our Top 10 Movies of 2025. This marks our first recording of 2026, and as always, the stakes feel high as your four favorite hosts reveal their personal rankings and reflect on the cinematic year that was 2025… Alongside our lists, we are honored to include a special Top 10 from “Mario in the Bar.” We count his list down right alongside our own for a full, festive rundown of the year in cinema.

As expected, the conversation goes off the rails in all the best ways. Jason dives into the unexpected joys of “side-boob” theater seating; Andy vents his growing frustration with modern moviegoing audiences; and Ryan reveals that his wiener is from Detroit. Karl’s Irish credentials are examined, though listener Paddy Glynn may still hold the crown. Jason also shares a winding tale involving Tom Rosenthal and Ron Tosenthal that lands with questionable success. Recorded back on January 6, 2026, this episode captures the chaotic, hilarious spirit that makes this show a yearly favorite. Join us!
