HeyJaredAre You Movie Mad?
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.

342 - Bicycle Thieves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We recorded a few weeks prior because someone stole our time, so we finally get around to talking The End Of Oak Street, the first episode of Lanterns and an elegy to Hayden Panettiere, Juliette Barnes herself from Nashville, before facing up to the Italian post-war melodrama and ‘Very Important Film On All The Film Lists’, which is something this show tends to avoid for the sake of lesser-watched/considered films, but Johnny needs to tick some of the lists off. All this plus a game of name the
341 - Happy, Texas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Decade 2 begins with a bang, a couple of quizzes, talk of a Johnny Cash stage musical, catching up with Broken Lizard’s Super Troopers 3, David Wain’s Gail Daughtry & The Celebrity Sex Pass and an unboxing of the Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair 4K box set. Then we set off for Happy, Texas and talk Sundance acquisitions, Steve Zahn, William H. Macy’s groans and them not making comedies anymore (Except the above noted new release comedies).

Read excerpt
OPA! We’re hucking ouzo and dancing like Zorba with the cultural phenomenon of 2002, long gone now, trying to examine the artifacts of a civilisation now long gone (the romantic comedy that actually gets a cinema release). Johnny catches up with Minions & Monsters and two boat films (Moana and The Odyssey) and Andrew jumps in to discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the somehow-nearly-one-billion-dollars-in-opening-weekend smash. Plus we make up for no game last ep with the Ghost game in act one an
339 - Ghost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Johnny wants Evil Dead Burn to be the basis of the next step of the franchise, Andrew gets The Invite to The Odyssey with Moana, then gets on stage with Arcadia and Glengarry Glen Ross, Johnny sees Legally Blonde live and the two reunited in London for Jesus Christ Superstar. Then after ALL that stuff, they got out the pottery wheel, hit play on Unchained Melody and watched Whoopi, Demi, Tony and Swayze get ghostly and romantic/spooky.

338 - Evolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andrew holds the novelisation of Ivan Reitman’s sci-fi-gang-hangout-comedy film Evolution and reads snippets before taking Johnny on a journey from head to shoulder through Duchovny’s charming handsomeness. And the two talk Supergirl, Toy Story 5, Jackass: Best And Last, Minions & Monsters, The Furious, They Will Kill You, Carolina Caroline and Johnny’s trip to Jesus Christ Superstar in Derry.
