Episode 293 of Movie Podcast Weekly isn’t an upgrade. It’s actually probably a downgrade, but it’s our best effort, so here goes nothin’. We bring you three Feature Reviews of Upgrade (2018) and Dark Crimes (2018) and Adrift (2018). We also talk about film critic Matt Singer’s 25 Worst Movie Taglines. Join us!

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!
