We revere the brief blaze of being human, knowing its scarcity gives it meaning and its warmth gives us song. Yet we regret how swiftly the light recedes, leaving us still reaching for what we were only just beginning to understand… Welcome to another very special edition of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY. This is Episode 377. During this memorable show, your hosts Jason Pyles, Karl Huddleston, Geek Cast Ryan Elliott, and a Guy Named “Andy” (who eventually joins us later in the episode) bring you Feature Reviews of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025), Rental Family (2025) and Stranger Things Season 5 (2025) — thus far! In addition, we bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately. And of course, we also bring you some very sad, melancholy news, about the passing of Andy’s dad.

NOTE: This episode was recorded on December 2, 2025, and it is dedicated in memory of Andy’s dad.

All right, already. Here is MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY, Episode 376. We have once again resumed our weekly releases, and this one was recorded the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so it was November 25, 2025. During this particular show, your hosts Jason Pyles, Karl Huddleston, and a Guy Named “Andy” bring you Feature Reviews of Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) and Train Dreams (2025). Weird titles, right? Right. The only reason Ryan wasn’t here to help us is because he was recording his much preferred podcast, Geek Cast Live, Season 987, Episode 4,091. Anyway, on this damn show, we also bring you Mini Reviews of what we’ve been watching lately, and we also have the usual shenanigans where we have to deal with Andy. Join us if you have literally nothing else to do!

Alas! Your 437th favorite movie-related podcast has once again resumed weekly releases, so we have restored our show to be aptly named, MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY. This is Episode 375. Why? Who’s askin’? For your information, this show is now an explicit movie-related podcast, so beware. Also, beware of your hosts: Jason, Karl, Ryan, and a guy named Andy who, though it was ill-advised, all welcomed special guest Cody Clark, our most faithful and prolific commentator! Together, these boys bring you Feature Reviews of The Running Man (2025), Now You See Me: No You Don’t (2025), and Playdate (2025). Join us!

This episode is dedicated to Lance Smith and Shane Wheeler. Sorry we couldn’t give you a better one, but you know … circus animals. Welcome to MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY, Episode 374. On our now weekly again, explicit movie-related podcast, your hosts Jason, Karl, Ryan — but not a guy named Andy — bring you Feature Reviews of del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), Predator: Badlands (2025), and Nuremberg (2025). OK? Yeah, Andy could not make it to this week’s recording, either. He just doesn’t love you anymore (which is probably why he returns next week). Join us!

This episode was recorded on November 11, 2025, Veterans Day. Much love and honor to our veterans. Thank you.

Aha! I knew you’d say that! Still, welcome to MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY. For your information, Mister, this is indeed Episode 373. And your hosts Jason, Karl, Ryan — but not a guy named Andy — will bring you Feature Reviews of Bugonia (2025), Good Fortune (2025), and Eenie Meanie (2025). Yeah, Andy could not make it to this week’s recording due to a migraine. Very sad. Even so, during this episode, you will hear a discussion of the usefulness or utility of cliffhangers in TV series… Are they still necessary? If the show’s good, won’t people still watch it? Then Karl comes out of left field with an amazing and unexpected “My Three Sons” parallel (you won’t see this one coming!). And Jason poses a longing and lamenting question “based on regret,” he says. Oh, and listen to find out which film director Karl thinks should be under surveillance as a precaution because he is likely a danger to others and himself. We don’t really have anything to say about Ryan here. Also, Jason gets indignant at Karl’s suggestion that “Chris Pratt is no Captain Kirk.” Join us!

Whoa! Back for more, are ya? Well, we know we’re irresistable. OK, dammit, it’s MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY, Episode 372, and we’ve got Jason, Karl, Ryan, and a guy named Andy. We also welcome special guest filmmaker Mack Robins! During this trainwreck of a show, we learn that neither Karl nor Mack has ever seen “Pulp Fiction.” Pity. We also spend an inordinate amount of time talking about nicknames. Tell well spent. What else would you be doing? We also bring you our famous Mini Reviews (with minimal repetition of previous weeks’ picks)… And Feature Reviews, so-called, of Good Boy (2025), Eden (2025), A House of Dynamite (2025), and even Karl’s Teaser Review of del Toro’s “Frankenstein” (2025).

Happy Halloween this week! Join us for this productive episode, where you might hear Ryan say, “You’ve either got to sleight-of-hand a butterfly … or you have to bamboozle.” In addition, we don’t waste our listeners’ time with Andy lying about seeing movies he actually hasn’t seen, nor do we spend your valuable time discussing the proper, syllabic pronunciation of the words “mayor,” “oil,” and “ruin.” Nah, we’re too professional for that, and we would not inconvenience our listeners with such trivial things. Karl Huddleston would, but he’s not present for this episode.

Even so, here in Episode 371 of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY, your hosts Jason, Ryan and a Guy Named Andy welcome to special guest Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, the host of Dead Man Still Walking and one of 10 “Horror Avengers” on Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies. During this explicit episode, Andy performs live, on-air dentistry, Ryan says “the F-word” even more than Karl, and you will also hear our Mini Reviews and Feature Review of the Survival Thriller Drama, The Lost Bus (2025), which includes a short Concept Discussion surrounding its theater trailers and then exclusive VOD availability on Apple TV. This episode was recorded on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Join us!

The boys are back a second week in a row — and this time — they’re pretending to be professionals again! Yeah, you read that right: MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY is resuming its weekly release schedule to take on the films of 2025. So, this week in Episode 370, your ignoble hosts — Jason, Karl, Ryan in absentia, and “a Guy Named Andy” (who now insists his real name is “Carlton”) tackle the shiny neon spectacle of Tron: Ares (2025) and P.T. Anderson’s new flick, One Battle After Another (2025), which has “the subtlety of a nuclear bomb.” Expect the familiar griping about spoiler-heavy trailers, Jason’s humorous reason for his early arrival times, and an unusual theater story that proves moviegoing still has surprises. Meanwhile, Karl provides some insights from ordering the “Tron: Legacy” 4K and uses the word “penultimate” more than once.

In this explicit, chaos-fueled episode, Andy continues his questionable claims of actually watching movies, Jason rails against sneaky, unforeseen 3D screenings, and the gang debates whether the world’s dislike of Jared Leto is justified or just dog-piling. Listener and frenemy of the show, Cody Clark, chimes in with feedback curated by Jason. Also, you can find out what prompts Jay to ask, “Are you gonna put pillows beneath it, just in case?” Incidentally, this episode was recorded October 13, 2025 — the same day we wish a very happy birthday to Dr. Shock, The Twisted Temptress, and Kagan Breitenbach. Not sure where Ryan is for this episode — probably sleeping or deep in his cups. But in addition to returning to a weekly release format, the guys also return to actually trying to review movies again. So, buckle up, movie-lovers. Weekly chaos has officially resumed — for at least a week or two. Join us!

Yeah, here in this episode, your 47th favorite movie podcast hosts bring you their coverage of new releases from July 2025, as well as the Top 10 Lesser-Seen Movies of 1986 to celebrate the birthday of MPW fanboy, friend, and listener, Mack Robins! Happy birthday, Mack! During this show, you will get actual Top 10 lists of 1986 from Jason, Andy, Karl — and even Mackula! In fact, Andy actually creates an actual list and he even gets real about his movie-watching of late. Also, inexplicably, Karl and Andy give all of us an impromptu update on their prescription medication, but you know, that kind of stuff happens on this show. Make sure you hear our next show, Episode 370, for “an historic” announcement! Happy birthday, Mack — don’t play “Leapfrog” with any unicorns!
