We’ve done it again — another double-feature review, but instead of reviewing “Broken City,” Karl surprised us and switched to “The Last Stand.” Jason and special guest podcaster JOEL ROBERTSON, host of the much loved Forgotten Flix Podcast, review “Mama.”

Also in this episode, we talk about a term coined by Jason Grooms called “Cinematic Nostalgia Disorder” (CND). And of course, we give you loads of Mini Reviews. We also take a moment to sincerely thank “Dangerously” and “CharissaLand” for your kind reviews that you wrote for this podcast on iTunes. We’re super-grateful! And we wrap up the show with some drama that’s going on in the podcasting world involving lawsuits and patents and all sorts of shenanigans. Continue reading →

Early this morning the nominees for the 85th Academy Awards were announced, so we have provided that list for our listeners here. Millions of men (and a lot of women) anxiously await the Super Bowl each year, but the Academy Awards ceremony is Jason’s Super Bowl.

How MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY Will Cover the Oscars:
On Sunday, February 24, 2013 — when the Oscars ceremony airs live nationwide — your hosts of Movie Podcast Weekly will be watching along with everyone else. And since Sunday night is our usual recording night, we’ll record Episode 022 immediately after the telecast. We’ll review that week’s movie, which at this point, appears to be between “Snitch” and “Dark Skies”… And then we’ll recap and reflect on the 85th Oscars ceremony itself and the big winners (and losers). So, our Oscar Episode 022 will release on Monday, February 25, 2013. Our co-host Josh Ligairi will be with us for that show, as well as special guest Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker.

And without further delay, here are the nominees for the 85th Academy Awards: Continue reading →
