Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 171: The Hateful Eight (2016) and Daddy’s Home (2015) and Most Anticipated Movies of 2016

Posted on January 6, 2016 by producer

Happy New Year! It’s 2016, and it’s our first edition of Movie Podcast Weekly for this year… This is Episode 171. We don’t have Karl the acting Irishman with us, but your other three hosts hold down the fort and bring you Feature Reviews of The Hateful Eight (2016) and Daddy’s Home (2015). And due to listener request, we also bring you a Tarantino Retrospective, where we rank QT’s eight films in order of greatness, according to our personal preferences. (This leads to a great debate over “Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2.”) And our main event for this episode is our overview of MPW’s Most Anticipated Movies of 2016!

Also, thanks to a guy named Andy, he has provided a PDF version of the special edition playbill that attendees receive at the 70mm Roadshow Presentation of “The Hateful Eight” by downloading it here: The Hateful Eight Roadshow Playbill (courtesy of Andy) Continue reading →

Happy New Year’s Eve and happy 2016 this week! To celebrate, we have brought you a party in a podcast! What are the best movies of 2015? Your friends here at Movie Podcast Weekly (and the MPW listenership) are here to tell you. We bring you four Top 10 best lists from the hosts and a collective Top 10 list from our listenership. We had the potential of bringing you 50 strong recommendations, but we’ve had some overlap, naturally, so you get 27 various picks among these Top 10 lists! Formerly known as our “The Best Movies of [Year]” list, this is MPW’s official Top 10 Movies of 2015 show. In Episode 170, we also bring you a Feature Review of The Big Short, with special guest Rob Booker (of The Traders Podcast). Join us, and feel free to post your end-of-the-year movie lists in the comments for this episode. Thanks for a great year!

This episode is generously sponsored by Eric E., David W., Josh G., Christian B., Steve R., Vance K., and Dino T. Thank you. Heroes all… Continue reading →

Welcome to Movie Podcast Weekly, Episode 167. We’re continuing our coverage of the STAR WARS FRANCHISE. This is part five of seven, where we review Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) with special guest Steve Hernandez. Unfortunately, Jason’s three co-hosts get frozen in carbonite about halfway through the show, so Jay brings you the remaining three Feature Reviews solo-cast style: Krampus and Secret in Their Eyes and The Hunting Ground. 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. And we usually provide specialized genre recommendations. New episodes release every single Wednesday. Continue reading →
