Episode 280 - Annihilation

Time for another Lost Episode! Welcome to Movie Podcast Weekly, Episode 280. In this show, we bring you three Feature Reviews of Game Night (2018) and Annihilation (2018) and Mute (2018). We’re joined by special guest, friend of the show and long-time listener, Dino Ticinelli. Episode 280 is one of MPW’s so-called “Lost Episodes.” It was originally recorded on Feb. 26, 2018 and was originally slated for release way back on Feb. 28, 2018. Jason, Andy and Karl enjoyed recording this episode with Dino. Ryan was under the weather, so he does not appear in Episode 280. Even so, join us!

  1. I like Jason… but he has strange taste sometimes! Mute was a pretty average and silly movie as I remember. Bladerunner 2049 was superior in every way. But each to their own I guess 🙂

    • Ha ha ha Fair enough, Porg Eater. You’re right about my strange tastes. After all, I’m the guy who loves the film, “The Corpse of Anna Fritz” (2015). I get why people don’t like Anna Fritz … but I genuinely can’t understand the contempt for “Mute.” Thanks for writing!

      • Watched Mute ages ago and I remember there were some things that I did like about it… so I can say I didn’t hate it and It was enjoyable enough!

        Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for all your podcast work. I listen to them all and you’re a great host, particularly like any episode with Bill Chete (and his strong opinions)! Glad to see that he’s making a comeback with Horror Movie weekly. I’ll stay tuned, and hope that you keep podcasting forever!
