Six years in the making… For longtime listeners who date back to our previous podcast, Considering the Sequels, the raging debate over the science of “Airport ’77” is put to rest. In Episode 215 of Movie Podcast Weekly, Jason, Karl and Ryan are joined by “a guy named Sandy,” as well as special guest, experimental physicist THE BRAIN (of The Sci-Fi Podcast). The Brain settles the debate, once and for all, and he does it with convincing authority.

Also in this episode, we bring you five Feature Reviews of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Edge of Seventeen and Bleed for This and Shut In and The Monster. Join us. You’ll like it! Continue reading →

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.

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! Continue reading →
