Aha! There you are! It’s time for MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY again! Grab somethin’! This is the highly anticipated Episode 379, if you can believe it. In this show, your hosts Jason Pyles, Karl Huddleston, Geek Cast Ryan Elliott, and a Guy Named “Andy” bring you Feature Reviews of Ella McCay (2025) and Star People (2025). (It was sort of a slow week in the cinemas when we recorded this…) But in addition to this, we bring you coverage where Jason reports on attending Andy’s dad’s funeral, some listener feedback from Vance and Roger (but not Cody Clark), and believe it or not, a heartfelt MPW Tribute to Rob Reiner.
