Ryan fell asleep before record time, so he isn’t present during Episode 291 of Movie Podcast Weekly. But that’s OK. Jason, Andy and Karl still bring you Feature Reviews of Deadpool 2 (2018) and Cargo (2018), which is streaming on Netflix. 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!

Jason! You read my comment, you beautiful man, you! Thanks! Once again, stellar work on this show. I can’t believe I slept on this podcast for so long! (Insert Andy-falling-asleep-joke HERE).
Man, Andy sure is great! He’s my favorite student of lepidopterology, but Jason… you’re still my favorite podcast producer. Well, top 25 at least 😉
Ha ha ha. Thanks, Mr. Watson. You’re too kind…

Jay, seriously… your work is truly terrific. Thanks for all you do, buddy!
A question for Andy (and I suppose the rest), since I know he watches/listens to a lot of stand-up comedy. What are your thoughts on the “Pre-show” segments that seem to be happening more and more on stand up specials? The sort of segments/skits that happen backstage, maybe the comedians meet up with someone or whatever.
Personally, I hate these with a passion. It’s gotten to the point where I fast forward a few minutes in every stand up just so I can start with the actual stand-up act. As far as I’m concerned, all a stand-up special needs is some random guy going “Ladies and gentlemen….*Insert comedian’s name here*~!!!!” and go straight into the jokes.
I’m right there with you, Sal! I fast-forward through these as well! Ha ha. And here I thought I was the only one! Good to know you’re out there, buddy!
Jay,
I remember hearing about Ken Annakin and the Star Wars connection but came across this article back when Ken passed away:
http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-ken-annakin24-2009apr24-story.html
George Lucas did NOT name Anakin after Ken.
I figured you may want to know!
