ANTHONY BRUNO, author of “The Iceman: The True Story of a Cold-Blooded Killer,” joins us to discuss his book, as well as Ariel Vromen’s filmic adaptation — “The Iceman,” starring Michael Shannon, and he even gives us some anecdotal insights about The Iceman himself, Richard Kuklinski. Karl and Jason have a fascinating, 80-minute interview with Bruno that we think will also intrigue you listeners.

Also in this episode, we welcome JARED JOHNSON, host of The Reel Doctors, a new movie podcast where Jared and his co-host, Michael Alger, prescribe the movies you need to see. Jared, Karl, Josh and Jason discuss “The Hangover Part III,” “Fast & Furious 6,” the 30th anniversary of “Return of the Jedi,” and of course, Season 4 of “Arrested Development” on Netflix.

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 →
