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.
Charlize! Weird sci fi stuff! Worm outfit Postlethwaite! Well, yeesh, this is a weird film that never works so we hide that by talking Hokum, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, The Devil Wears Prada & Mortal Kombat sequels, Billie Eilish in 3D, Apex, Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Comeback season 3.

DISASTER: After a long recording session, it turns out the audio for one of us didn’t come through so we’re un-joined with Johnny for this look at the Matt Damon - Greg Kinnear - Cher comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, Andrew also checks out the 98th Oscar nominations, talk Hamnet, Rental Family, The Rip and Merrily We Roll Along before gathering live theatrical thoughts on new productions of Into The Woods and The Producers around London.
All coming to a head in a thrilling game of conjoined film titles, trivial fun for a rough January.

Here’s the carrot - Johnny watched A Minecraft Movie and Death Of A Unicorn, and the two discuss Jason Statham in A Working Man, plus The Naked Gun teaser chat and Andrew reminds you his first novel The Ferryman Upon The Plains is available to pre-order now at one bookstore, not a good one (amazon).
