4/10/2010 Party like it's 2008!
All of the 2008 episodes have been re-linked, with the exception of a few "Lost Episodes," thanks to the Great MyPodcast Crash of 2009. If anyone has our episodes for Our Top Movie Moments, 2008 Oscar Nominations, Stephen King Discussion, or Jurassic Park, please send us an email!
4/09/2010 Everything Must Go!
We have just put in the order to removed the now defunct Back-Up feed from iTunes, and have deleted the gcast account altogether, so now is your last chance to download any episodes from that feed before it is taken down forever!
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/midnight-matinee-podcast-back/id268778016
4/07/2010 New Feed and a New Episode!
The time has come. We are so excited to announce that we're launching our very own RSS feed! MyPodcast days are now officially OVER (we shouldn't be THIS excited)! The feed has yet to hit the iTunes Music Store, due to some housekeeping that has to be finished first, but more on that in a minute. To subscribe to our new feed using iTunes, do the following steps:
Open up iTunes
Click the Advanced tab
Select Subrcribe to Podcast
Enter (this is important) http://midnightmatineepodcast.com/rss.xml
Click OK
And WALLAH! You have now subscribed to our new feed! We will put a link to the feed in the sidebar very soon, so it'll always be here if you need it. Also, we'll hit iTunes soon, but removing an old feed is a gruelling process. Our old "Back-up" feed has already been closed, and will be removed from the store in a matter of days. As for our MyPodcast feed (if it ever gets fixed), we're going to leave it up for a little while, and hopefully upload a small announcement directing people to the new feed once it hits iTunes. Then we will eventually take that one down as well.
Also, fear not! Links are going to repaired in the 2008 episode section very soon. We have a laundry list of projects to get done for the show, and unfortunately, changing the feed was first and foremost. We want to thank everyone for sticking with us and maybe...just maybe...we may have a suprise in store for you.
And last, but not least, our newest episode!

3/04/2010 FINALLY! Some Answers!
Hey guys, we finally have good news. The uploading issues have been fixed, so Part 2 of our Green Mile episode has finally been uploaded to iTunes! With the MyPodcast issues, everything's gotten a little backlogged, but we're working day and night (ok maybe just day...ok, maybe just a couple hours in the afternoon) to get the show back on track. Look for our American Beauty episode - our Best Picture Battle Month finale - sometime tonight or tomorrow. It clocks it at almost 2 and a half hours so it's one of our longest episodes yet! And of course, it's filled to the brim with goodness. Of course, due to its extensive runtime, it'll hit iTunes in two parts (we know, we know, we hate it as much as you go), so stay tuned, and enjoy! - K&E
2/25/2010 Update
UPDATE Somehow I sneaked Part 1 of our Green Mile episode (I had to break it up for the MyPodcast server) onto iTunes, but the problem has returned (Save audio file error), so I have not been able to upload Part 2. Forgive us for the impromptu cliffhanger! Hopefully things will be fixed by Wednesday...
Hey everyone. We finished our new episode on the Green Mile earlier this week. Unfortunately, I've been getting error messages on MyPodcast for the last two days as I've been trying to upload it. Hopefully this'll work itself out, but if not I'll upload the episode directly to this page. It's coming, just bear with us.
UPDATE I've uploaded the entire episode to the website. You can download it by clicking the link below. Hopefull the uploading errors will be resolved soon.

1/18/2010 MIB Will Have to Wait, and Other Updates...
Well it's Monday, and I'm sure by now, everyone is wondering: "Where is the latest episode? Why isn't itunes updating? How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?" While we may not have answers for all those questions, we can promise that it'll be online at some point...we uploaded it Wednesday, as usual. You can listen to it directly from our MyPodcast page by clicking the download links below.
The second bit of business; we will not be recording our Men in Black episode until Wednesday - two days later than our usual recording day. There is a chance that it'll get uploaded Wednesday as well, but it's not likely, considering the time we usually record. So be on the lookout for that episode Thursday, or Friday at the absolute latest! And have a happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day! - K&E
