Welcome to a very somber episode of Movie Podcast Weekly. After hearing of the loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman and a disappointing Super Bowl, your hosts Jason Pyles and Karl Huddleston bring you an unusually pensive movie podcast. But we’ve still got some good films for you to check out. (Andy and Joshua were unable to join us this week, but they’ll return next Monday.)

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 →

Buckle up! For Episode 069, you’ve got Andy, Karl, and Jason — ranting and raving about the nominations for the 68th Academy Awards, among other weighty matters. And though Josh was at a Sundance screening, he still sent us two clips of supplemental Josh material, including his review of “Nebraska.” Thanks, Josh! We bring you reviews of “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” “Devil’s Due” and “Ride Along” — all three new releases in theaters. But Andy and Jason also saw Josh’s recommendation, “The Act of Killing.” And this Mini Review turns into an epic, unofficial 26-minute Feature Review.

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!
