Preface:
For those who love movies, there’s nothing so valuable or as anticipated as a year’s Top 10 Best Movies list. Even cinephiles who find list-making to be arbitrary or problematic can’t help but take notice of the flurry of Best Of submissions that flood the Internet in December and January.

At the end of each year, Movie Podcast Weekly (and separately, Horror Movie Podcast) assembles a Top 10 Best Movies of the Year list, where each host reveals his selections for the very best cinema of the past 12 months.

But something we love to do is to incorporate another Top 10 list that’s a collective consensus of our listenership’s favorite films of the year! Continue reading →

Strange things are happening this week on Movie Podcast Weekly, Episode 213… Andy and Karl are no-shows, but Jason and Ryan welcome special guest William Rowan Jr. (of The Sci-Fi Podcast). We bring you two Feature Reviews of Doctor Strange and Hacksaw Ridge. Weirdly, we lost the first half of the recording of this episode, so Jason had to re-record the Mini Reviews again.
