In a not overly uplifting edition of Movie Podcast Weekly, your favorite movie podcast hosts review four very grim films for you. In Episode 253 you will hear Feature Reviews of Detroit (2017) and Annabelle: Creation (2017) and Aftermath (2017) and Brimstone (2017). Karl wasn’t able to be on this episode, but believe it or not, we talk about some important matters and important films. Join us!

NOTE: Episode 253 is an MPW “Lost Episode.” This episode was recorded on August 14, 2017. It was supposed to release on August 16, 2017.

If you’re new to our show… Movie Podcast Weekly typically features four hosts — Jason, Andy, Karl and Geek Cast Ry — along with frequent guests. We give you our verdicts on at least one new movie release from the current year that’s currently playing in theaters, as well as several mini reviews of whatever we’ve been watching lately. New episodes release every single week!
