There was some very sad news this week in the movie community: Roger Ebert died on Thursday, April 4, 2013. So, for Episode 028, Movie Podcast Weekly gives a tribute to Roger Ebert, in addition to reviewing “Evil Dead” (2013). Our special guests for this episode are DAVE BECKER of DVD Infatuation.com and BOSS BUTCHER of the Terror Troop horror movie podcast.
And I (Jason) apologize for the absence of our recommendation segments this week. We had planned on giving some great recommendations, but something came up and I needed to cut the show short. Apologies. This segment will be back in full force next week!
