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.

Andrew brings forth Sofia Coppola’s last great film for Johnny’s staring gaze, and pitches the film ‘Dark Passengers’ to no avail.
Hero Of The World Kevin Bacon has a degree in separating sandworms from their lives with the creature feature ‘Spoof’ (If Sky is to be believed) Tremors. Johnny gets down and dirty in the sand.

Werner Herzog tags in for Andrew as we sit through his documentary on cave painting and discuss other topics for Herzog to make films about.
We end video game month with a film even Dwayne Johnson hates, so naturally we all pretend to enjoy it for a second before admitting this whole month has been just the worst. Welcome to hell.
