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.
Happy New Year!
Should old acquaintance be forgot then that’d be awkward indeed as Andrew holds Johnny’s hand to the Leslie Nielsen franchise-starting comedy classic that leads to the upcoming Liam Neeson reboot in 2025. Fear not, though, before getting into the ZAZ weeds there’s important talk on Luca Guadagnino’s Queer and the contractually obligated Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim, and a good discussion about AI-centric 4K remastering that’s plagued us all of late.
Johnny Knoxville and Brian Cox star in a film where the heart may be in the right place but the realisation definitely isn’t, so naturally there’s discussion of how it appeared on Disney+ when the Fox deal happened, and only when we plan an episode does it leave. Also long talk on the Joker: Folie a Deux trailer and a visit from Wallace Shawn to remind everyone that Rifkin’s Festival happened.
Well here we are, an entire week of pre-amble to the new Broken Lizard film, whilst Andrew tries to recall the houses of Hogwarts and Johnny discusses what he wants to watch on Netflix (Definitely recorded before the Me Too movement!)
The original film is discussed, a little, whilst Andrew pitches Helen Mirren vehicle DIRTY GRANDMA, the two talk HD-DVD versus Blu Ray and wonder what Brian Cox is even doing here.
We’re deep into Wes Anderson month now, with Andrew’s favourite Brian Cox-starring Anderson film, an introduction to Bill Murray Smoking and Andrew and Johnny break out a female-led remake of Rushmore.
