Posted on September 10, 2026 by producer

The Paul Walker of Movie Podcasts has returned! Jason Pyles and “The Mad Irishman” himself, Kombat Karl Huddleston hold down the fort for MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY, Episode 406, with a brief appearance by A Guy Named Andy. Unfortunately, Geek Cast Ryan Elliott could not join the festivities this time. He’s a Dutchman. In this episode, we bring you Feature Reviews of the Jason Statham “vessel” Mutiny (2026), The Isolate Thief (2026), Wardriver (2026), and Sirāt (2026). Naturally, we also bring you our world famous Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately.

Along the way, Jason and Karl remember Dolly Parton, discuss her remarkable generosity, and revisit the childhood tragedy that prevented Jason from meeting Kenny Rogers. Andy claims that a documentary made him cry during a movie for the first time in his life, and Jason describes his infuriating encounter with some relentless talkers at a theatrical screening. Plus, the hosts preview an unusually promising weekend of new movie releases. Join us!

Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 401: The Odyssey (2026)

The Fake IMAX Theaters of Movie Podcasting are back! Jason Pyles, Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” Huddleston, and a Guy Named “Andy” bring you Movie Podcast Weekly, Episode 401. Geek Cast Ryan Elliott sits this episode out, though he apparently loved our Feature Review movie. This time, we bring you an epic Feature Review of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (2026). Jason calls it “pure cinema” and a masterpiece, while Karl and Andy admire its extraordinary technical accomplishments but question its pacing, contemporary dialogue and nearly three-hour runtime.

Before journeying home with Odysseus, Jason and Karl investigate genuine IMAX versus the so-called “LieMAX” theaters that most audiences encounter. The boys also preview September’s movie releases, lament Mark Wahlberg’s distracting prosthetic nose, question Tom Cruise’s enthusiasm for Digger, calculate the increasingly ridiculous titles of future Godzilla Minus One sequels, and consider Hollywood’s recurring mission to get Matt Damon home.

Naturally, we also bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately. Andy eventually arrives after joining what initially sounds like a cult—but turns out to be Pilates. Karl also celebrates the 40th anniversary of Manhunter and its forthcoming deluxe physical-media release. Join us!

This monumental episode is dedicated to all the long-suffering listeners of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY! Yes, believe it or not, “The Cracker Jack Prize of Movie Podcasts” has somehow reached Episode 400. Jason Pyles, Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” Huddleston, Geek Cast Ryan Elliott, and “A Guy Named Andy” reunite to celebrate 14 years of MPW — or, more precisely, 400 episodes recorded, 377 episodes released, and 23 mysterious episodes still sitting “in the can,” as of yet, unreleased…

The Four Horses’ Asses of the Apocalypse reflect upon MPW’s origins, changing host roster, most memorable guests, dubious podcast awards, favorite episodes, dedicated listeners, lost releases, colorful history, and approximately 1,200 Feature Reviews. We also hear congratulatory messages from long-time listeners “Max” and Cody Clark, remember actor Sam Neill, debate whether soccer would be better with wider goals, revisit five legendary occasions when hosts fell asleep and snored on the podcast, and hear about Jason witnessing a historic Pittsburgh Pirates performance at PNC Park.

Naturally, we also bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately, followed by Feature Reviews of Citizen Vigilante (2026), Supergirl (2026), The Invite (2026), Seven Snipers (2026), and Young Washington (2026). The Supergirl review was recorded “in the field” with two special guests: Jason’s son, Davy (aka Spawn of the Dead) and Jason’s former film professor, Dr. Rick Moody — newly dubbed “Grandfather of the Dead”! So, join us as we celebrate the friendships, films, running jokes, listener comments, unpredictable tangents, and affectionate chaos that have kept this ridiculous movie podcast staggering forward for 400 episodes, er, or thereabouts.

Believe it or not, this is Episode 399 of Movie Podcast Weekly, and Jason Pyles is joined by The Mad Irishman, Kombat Karl Huddleston and a long-lost Guy Named Andy, who returns just in time to realize this is not Episode 400, after all. Geek Cast Ryan Elliott is still away on walkabout, but Jason, Karl and Andy press forward with listener feedback, Bond talk, discussion of the “Supergirl” backlash, wildfire reports from Utah, television troubleshooting, and the continuing cultural question of whether people still pay attention to movies anymore.

For Feature Reviews, we bring you Pixar’s Toy Story 5 (2026) and the slow, sad, brutal, art-film-adjacent A24 period drama, The Death of Robin Hood (2026). Naturally, we also bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately, including Stranger Things, Obsession, Citadel, Criminal Minds: Evolution, The Agency, Nuremberg, and Redux Redux. Join us!

OK, dammit. This week Jason Pyles and Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” Huddleston are joined by special guest Mister Watson of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies and Horror Movie Weekly for Episode 398 of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY.

Listen as these ne’er-do-wells tackle Steven Spielberg’s alien-disclosure blockbuster Disclosure Day (2026), debate the frustrating mysteries and fascinating ideas lurking beneath its surface, and then shift gears into one of the year’s most unexpectedly emotional documentaries, #SkyKing (2026), about the infamous 2018 airplane theft that somehow manages to be funny, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking all at once. Jason also heads to the theater for Carolina Caroline (2026), a crime-romance starring sexy Samara Weaving and capable Kyle Gallner. While Watson praises Widow’s Bay, Karl shares World War II documentary discoveries, and the crew somehow wanders into discussions about Ireland, underground tunnels connecting continents, Mortal Kombat II, Michael Jackson ambiguities, arcade games, men’s mental health, and whether humanity could survive Disclosure Day itself. Naturally, we also bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately.

NOTE: This is an explicit podcast. Also, this episode was recorded on June 16, 2026.
