Welcome to another Movie Podcast Weekly “Lost Episode.” In Episode 255, your favorite movie podcast hosts bring you three Feature Reviews of Good Time (2017) and Brigsby Bear (2017) and Dave Made a Maze (2017). Well, OK. Only Jason does, but the other hosts are present … somewhat. This is definitely an episode for MPW fans: It has Jason, Andy, Karl and Ryan. They bicker about “Brimstone.” Karl pontificates about the OLED market. Jay laments the loss of Horror director Tobe Hooper, and we just have an all around good time. (Get it? “Good time?”) Join us!

What was happening in Houston? Did you ever do a commentary for the Lego Movie? Did Karl ever see Passengers? Who won the bet?
I kind of wish that this episode had stayed “lost” because:
– I love Atomic Blonde (I don’t care if it’s realistic or not, it’s just a fun movie to watch).
– I have Passengers on blu ray and I enjoy it.
– I recommended Brimstone and it was my BMOTY for 2017.
Thank you Jay for defending Brimstone (I think I need to watch it again after hearing all these discussions).
Go and watch Brimstone if you haven’t seen it. Guy Pierce is terrifying and Dakota Fanning is amazing.
Hi Andrew,
Jay here. That was when Houston was having all that terrible flooding (I believe after Hurricane / Tropical Storm Harvey.
We never did the commentary for The Lego Movie because my jerk friends, Andy and Karl, won’t invite me to their homes anymore to watch movies on their big TVs… ; )
I can’t remember if Karl ever saw “Passengers” or what he thought. I don’t think he did, but I still think he would dig it. Maybe he’ll weigh in on this comment.
I’m with ya: I like “Atomic Blonde” and “Passengers” just fine. The stairway battle in the former is worth the price of admission. And you are correct to love “Brimstone.” These guys are nuts.
Thanks for your comment, Andrew.
