Movie Podcast Weekly returns with its biggest and most anticipated episode of the year: Episode 382, our annual BMOTY celebration, where we count down and declare our Best Movie of the Year during our Top 10 Movies of 2025. This marks our first recording of 2026, and as always, the stakes feel high as your four favorite hosts reveal their personal rankings and reflect on the cinematic year that was 2025… Alongside our lists, we are honored to include a special Top 10 from “Mario in the Bar.” We count his list down right alongside our own for a full, festive rundown of the year in cinema.

As expected, the conversation goes off the rails in all the best ways. Jason dives into the unexpected joys of “side-boob” theater seating; Andy vents his growing frustration with modern moviegoing audiences; and Ryan reveals that his wiener is from Detroit. Karl’s Irish credentials are examined, though listener Paddy Glynn may still hold the crown. Jason also shares a winding tale involving Tom Rosenthal and Ron Tosenthal that lands with questionable success. Recorded back on January 6, 2026, this episode captures the chaotic, hilarious spirit that makes this show a yearly favorite. Join us!

If you’re a Horror movie fan, listen to Jay of the Dead’s NEW HORROR MOVIES! Thanks for listening to Movie Podcast Weekly, The Clown Car of Movie Podcasting…

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!
