In Episode 067 of Movie Podcast Weekly (the first of the New Year), your ever-faithful hosts bring reviews of Disney’s Hatchet …er… Frozen and Paranormal Activity 5 …er… Paranormal Activity 4.5 …er… Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. And if you think a major horror franchise is a strange pairing with a new release from Disney, wait until you hear all of the talk about pornography in this episode. Although the content of the porn discussion is kept pretty PG, there is quite a lot of it by our standards. Parents be warned. We are also joined by two very special guests—including fan-favorite WILLIS WHEELER of The Donut Show podcast, the Terror Troop podcast, and more!

We also list off 40 of our Biggest Disappointments of 2013, which aren’t necessarily bad, just disappointing. But Karl, Andy and Jason give you 15 movies from 2013 that they absolutely freakin’ hated, while Joshua “take-the-high-road” Ligairi alternately gives you 8 movies that he thought he would dislike, but were pleasant surprises.

Oh, yeah, and we also Feature Review “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Saving Mr. Banks” and “Runner Runner.” All this and so much more awaits you during this 3-hour and 44-minute episode of Movie Podcast Weekly.
