This episode is dedicated to our friend and supporter, Chad Downey. Thanks for everything, Chad.

Whoa… Buckle up, everybody! Episode 079 of Movie Podcast Weekly is an infamous show for the ages. Chances are great that at least one (if not all) of your four favorite hosts will anger or offend you in some way during the course of this show, so apologies ahead of time… But the good news is, we bring you several in-depth reviews, such as “Noah,” “Sabotage,” “Veronica Mars,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel” — and finally — “The Broken Circle Breakdown” (for Jeff Hammer), as well as two bonus reviews on “Stranger Than Fiction” and a fiery and controversial review of Disney’s “Song of the South” (1946).

We welcome two special guests for this episode: First, lady podcaster JESSICA GIFFORD of the Book Review Podcast, and filmmaker and MPW recurring guest favorite, WILLIAM ROWAN JR..

Movie Podcast Weekly typically features four hosts (and frequent guests), who give you their verdict on at least one new movie release that’s currently in theaters, mini reviews of what they’ve been watching lately and specialty recommendation segments. New episodes release every single Monday. Continue reading →

In this special Halloween bonus episode of Movie Podcast Weekly, we deviate from our normal format and bring you a creepy double-feature review: The landmark adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining and a new documentary, Room 237, that explores the many conspiracy theories surrounding Kubrick’s classic film.

In addition to being the first MPW non-premium bonus episode, this also marks the special occasion of the four horseman podcasting together—in-person—for the first time ever! That’s right, Jason, Karl, Andy, and Josh were all finally in the same room together—Chad Downey’s beautiful home theater to be exact—and we have a podcast to prove it.

We screened the two films back to back and then sat down with Chad to give you our two cents. We hope this enhances your Halloween season.

In Episode 055 of Movie Podcast Weekly, Jason and Josh welcome back Karl, but lose Andy to the backwood roads of West Virginia. Still, the three trudge on with 4 feature reviews including the Tom Hanks Oscar-bait, “Captain Phillips,” the dizzying Disney guerrilla film “Escape From Tomorrow,” and gross-out horror comedies “Hell Baby,” and “Bad Milo,” yielding a truly lengthy (if not epic) episode.

And you’ve heard about his amazing home theater again and again on the show, but now is your chance to meet the man himself when we welcome our special guest for Episode 055, CHAD DOWNEY.

When Andy isn’t being murdered by rednecks, Movie Podcast Weekly features four hosts (and frequent guests), who give you their verdict on at least one new movie release that’s currently in theaters; mini reviews of what they’ve been watching lately; and specialty recommendation segments. New episodes release every single Monday. Continue reading →
