Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 154: The Transporter Refueled (2015) and A Walk in the Woods (2015) and Cinderella (2015) and MPW’s 2015 Fall / Winter Preview

Episode 154

Happy birthday to Ryan this week! He’s 14 and has facial hair. It’s time for Movie Podcast Weekly, the most offensive family-friendly podcast — ever! This is Episode 154. This is the episode where Andy says a crescent wrench can be considered pornography…

In this show, your four hosts bring you our MPW Fall / Winter Preview of all the upcoming new releases for the remainder of this year. We also reveal MPW’s plan for ramping up to our coverage of “Star Wars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens.”

This episode of Movie Podcast Weekly brings you three Feature Reviews of The Transporter Refueled, which is a PG-13 action movie that inspired Andy to write and read a heartfelt and passionate open letter that he penned for the movie industry and parents. This movie also inspired Jason to do some soul-searching about the direction his life has taken…

After denying Andy the opportunity to see the film — but going to see it himself — Karl brings us a Feature Review of A Walk in the Woods. And even though Jason and most listeners probably had no interest in the new, live-action Cinderella, Jason brings a surprising Feature Review of that film, as well. Join us! Continue reading

Geeked Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 152: American Ultra (2015) and Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) and Grandma Shanghai (2015) and the Geek Cast Takeover

Episode 152

After 151 episodes, it has happened… Movie Podcast Weekly has been usurped, and for Episode 152, your favorite movie podcast has been taken over by a DJ, a Holy Man, a Geek and a Guy Named Nic! That’s right! The crew from the Geek Cast Live Podcast is hosting MPW this week — and to return the disservice with a little turnabout and fair play — your usual MPW hosts (minus Ryan) have gone and taken over the Geek Cast Live Podcast! For those children of the ’80s, this is very much a Coy and Vance type of situation…

In this episode of Movie Podcast Weekly, the Geek Cast brings you Feature Reviews of American Ultra and Hitman: Agent 47. They also bring you a CTS-style concept discussion where they consider the conundrum of the box office draw of original content versus already established intellectual properties adapted to film. The Geeks have a fascinating discussion about what this dichotomy is doing to the movie industry. Join us! Continue reading
