Are You Movie Mad? Is the podcast that asks the most difficult question one man has ever faced. Cinephile Andrew Jones is perpetually flabbergasted that Johnny Ellis uses the online moniker 'Movie_Mad' yet at any given moment seems not to understand any movie references. Join Andrew as he journeys through a collection of films to educate Johnny and ask if Johnny is Mad about the movie he watched or remains Movie Mad.
WARNING This episode has two hosts sometimes coughing, the sickness is real!
It’s been nearer 2 years than not that we’ve given a regular episode, life has been wild and hectic and the pandemic run broke everything. Now we return to get the waters tested only to find it’s actually oil down there, and we’re watching Paul Thomas Anderson’s Oscar-winning masterpiece about Daniel Day Lewis as a messy bitch who lives for the drama.
It’s time to split the family up, as the Fate turns Dom against Letty, Roman, Tej, Hobbs, Ramsey and DECKARD SHAW?!? Yup, bad guys is family now. Joining us is film writer Katie Smith-Wong to unpack a film full of submarines, zombie cars and TWO Academy Award winning actresses, yet no Corona in sight.
Paul Verhoeven steps up to the podcast plate with a 2006 WWII thriller that seems to still fly under the radar. Will the isolation make the film stronger, or will 150 minute films seem like an impossible experience when time is meaningless?
Johnny loves this 150 minute frontier horror, and insists Andrew saddle up for a ride into hell and back, promising that Retribution Is Coming. Andrew, meanwhile, breaks down and contemplates what a serial killer horse could get away with back in olden times. Yep. That’s how the lockdown’s going, folks.
An early start to Musical Month sees Johnny highlight one of his favourites, a UK horror zombie musical comedy. Andrew can’t quite get a grip before seeing it, will he discover the magic before curtain call?
The sequel to Happiness recasts every last actor, and new friend Paul Giamatti is very sad-angry that he didn't make the cut.
A week in Jim Broadbent Land has led Johnny to lose his mind, but the duo find a way to fight the evil forces whilst watching a bad Brian Blessed movie.
