This roundup focuses on some of my favourite film-related podcasts! The guys at Attack of the Killer podcast continue their two-part retrospective of director George A. Romero; the Horror Movie Podcast site is finally re-releasing episodes of the short-lived but fantastic Horror Metropolis podcast from last year; and Johnny at Krueger Nation continues his awesome retrospective of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wrong Turn franchises! And that’s just for starters!

08.25.13 — Sunday Podcast Roundup: General Interest
This podcast roundup focuses on some of my favourite general interest shows! 99% Invisible podcast talks about the revolutionary ad campaign that brought New York City back to life in the ’70s; Airline Pilot Guy looks at recent flight-related news, including the B-1 bomber crash in Montana; and the Nature podcast looks at how future babies may be grown directly from our skin cells (ewww!).
Oh, by the way, I’ll upload my Film podcast roundups later today!
Spotlight on Creep Creepersin’s ‘THE DAILY CREEP’
THIS JUST IN — Creep Creepersin has started a daily ‘news’-cast called, appropriately enough, ‘The DAILY CREEP’!
Hey, bunky! Are you tired of all the silliness and bald-faced lies you get from them darn liberal and right-wing media outlets? Well, sure you are! So why not save some time and have all those same lies pre-chewed and then spoon-fed to you by the irreverent mad genius, Creep Creepersin?
08.18.13 — Sunday Podcast Roundup
This week on the Sunday Podcast Roundup, Roman Mars of the 99% Invisible Podcast tells you where to find the best beer in the world; Captain Jeff of Airline Pilot Guy reports on rogue spiders attacking air traffic controllers; and Chris Kenneally of Beyond the Book gets the details on the 166-million-dollar settlement in the big e-book price-fixing case — and how you may be entitled to some of it!
Link Problem Fixed!
Hi all,
If you tried to access the websites I reviewed in yesterday’s podcast roundup, you may have noticed that some links didn’t actually take you anywhere!
I apologize for that — I’m getting used to the new WordPress link manager, which is awesome, but also challenging for neo-Luddites such as myself }o]_
Anyway, they’re all fixed now, so thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy this great collection of new shows!

08.04.13 — Sunday Podcast Roundup
This week, the Sunday roundup contains all kinds of podcast-ey goodness: Nature tells you why only one in three people on earth can drink milk; 100 Years of Horror takes you back to 1959, when director William Castle used Percepto technology to shock theatre audiences out of their seats; Grammar Girl explains why some people feel entitled to say things like ‘we are not amused’ without being ironic! And that’s just for starters — enjoy!
Movie Podcast Weekly 42 — Laremy Legel and Pacific Rim
“Give me 200 directors with a million-dollar budget, and maybe 50 of those films will be awesome, as opposed to one bloated, giant monstrosity that no one really wanted to see.” — Laremy Legel, describing 200 ways in which The Lone Ranger might have been improved.
In this spotlight, film critic and author Laremy Legel joins co-hosts Jason Pyle, Karl Huddleston, and Andy Howell of MOVIE PODCAST WEEKLY for a lively and wide-ranging discussion of films and the film industry. Eventually, of course, it devolves into a bitter, bare-knuckle brawl as Jason defends the new del Toro film, Pacific Rim, from, well, everybody else. Then Josh Ligairi drops by for the show’s mini-review segment and talks about eight freakin’ movies before he turns the mic over to someone else! In other words, it’s a typically awesome episode 🙂
