Believe it or not, this is Episode 399 of Movie Podcast Weekly, and Jason Pyles is joined by The Mad Irishman, Kombat Karl Huddleston and a long-lost Guy Named Andy, who returns just in time to realize this is not Episode 400, after all. Geek Cast Ryan Elliott is still away on walkabout, but Jason, Karl and Andy press forward with listener feedback, Bond talk, discussion of the “Supergirl” backlash, wildfire reports from Utah, television troubleshooting, and the continuing cultural question of whether people still pay attention to movies anymore.
For Feature Reviews, we bring you Pixar’s Toy Story 5 (2026) and the slow, sad, brutal, art-film-adjacent A24 period drama, The Death of Robin Hood (2026). Naturally, we also bring you Mini Reviews of What We’ve Been Watching Lately, including Stranger Things, Obsession, Citadel, Criminal Minds: Evolution, The Agency, Nuremberg, and Redux Redux.
