For this week’s episode we review a great new sci-fi flick called “Oblivion” that we all think you should check out at the movie theater (in IMAX, if possible). In addition to the usual suspects: Jason, Andy, Karl and Josh, we are please to have special guest VANCE KING, who is a knowledgeable movie-lover and a listener of the Considering the Sequels Podcast and Movie Podcast Weekly.

Thanks to Andy’s Absurd Associations, this episode also features a fun, spin-off conversation about Netflix: Why We Love It and Hate It. We also want to give a quick shout-out and a thank you to our supportive friends, Chrisexcess and KZ-justin, who wrote a nice feedback e-mail and left us a review in iTunes. Thank you both!

And of course we have a spirited round of Mini Reviews and some good recommendations for you. Give us a listen and subscribe in iTunes! Continue reading →

Beware… your hosts of Movie Podcast Weekly are particularly feisty during Episode 029, especially Jason who rants throughout the show. We attack several movies and even individuals (we’re ashamed to report), including our co-host, Joshua Ligairi. But perhaps all the extra energy can be attributed to our Summer Blockbuster Preview! So, we review Danny Boyle’s “Trance” and then discuss what you can look forward to at the theater this summer. (If we offend anyone during this podcast, please send all angry e-mails to Andy.) Thanks for listening! Continue reading →

Our special guests for this episode are DAVE BECKER of DVD Infatuation.com and BOSS BUTCHER of the Terror Troop horror movie podcast.

And I (Jason) apologize for the absence of our recommendation segments this week. We had planned on giving some great recommendations, but something came up and I needed to cut the show short. Apologies. This segment will be back in full force next week! Continue reading →

Roger Ebert booksby Jason Pyles | April 4, 2013

Though I never met him, Roger Ebert literally changed the course of my life. So, the following sentiments are about Ebert’s influence on me and are therefore about my life, not his. (To hear our celebration of Roger Ebert, my co-hosts and I pay tribute to him during Episode 028 of Movie Podcast Weekly.)

It was 2005, and I was working one of those phone jobs that I hated. But employees were permitted to surf the Web, which led to my discovering that Roger Ebert’s movie review site was linked through Internet Movie Database.com for each movie he’s reviewed. Simply look up a movie on IMDb and click on the “external reviews” link. Ebert’s reviews are always at the top of the list. Continue reading →
