Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 278: The 15:17 to Paris (2018) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018)

This week Jason saw The 15:17 to Paris (2018) because he’s a total sucker… But Ryan saw Fifty Shades Freed (2018) because he’s a total pervert. Those are our Feature Reviews in Episode 278 of Movie Podcast Weekly, the Clown Car of Movie Podcasting. So, sorry… we have two duds for you this week. Karl is sick this week, but you still have Jason, Andy and Ryan. Overall, it’s a decent episode of MPW, even with the four-minute story that Jason needed to cut and tack on to the end for our most intrepid listeners… In short, we also talk about a bunch of other smut. Join us!

If you’re new to our show… Movie Podcast Weekly typically features four hosts — Jason, Andy, Karl and Geek Cast Ry — along with frequent guests. We give you our verdicts on at least one new movie release from the current year that’s currently playing in theaters, as well as several mini reviews of whatever we’ve been watching lately. New episodes release every single week!
