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.
Johnny wraps up FrightFest with a mysterious vampire co-host cracking wise throughout.
Hitting up the films The Swerve, Enhanced, AV: The Hunt and the short films Werewolf, The Motorist, Love Bite, The Gift, Wash, Fuel, Polvotron 500, Keith, Death Walks On Nitrate and The Afterlife Bureau.
Johnny lost the internet for a bit, but still he found the scares of FrightFest Day 3, including a whole pack of shorts.
We’re talking Clapboard Jungle, Hall, Aquaslash, Two Heads Creek and short films Bark, Jeff Drives You, Ouzo And The Blackcurrant, Breakfast, A Bit Of Fun, FLESH Control, Subject 3, Tarrare, Guest and The Beholder.
Hours after we recorded Day One we lost a modern cinema titan, and so tributes are paid to Chadwick Boseman, before heading into discussion on Day 2 of FrightFest online.
The films reviewed are The Columnist, The Horror Crowd, They’re Outside and Don’t Click.
Johnny catches Andrew and the audience up with FrightFest 2020’s digital event, including talk of pre-fest movie Sky Sharks, and Day One films I Am Lisa and 12 Hour Shift. Expect haunts and guffaws from two folk making it through a very bad time together. But… apart, socially.
It’s Frightfest weekend and Johnny wants to relive the glory of a former year, by choosing a film he himself gave 2 stars to on Letterboxd. Johnny insists The Drone is a good silly fun time, but will it warm the cold, broken heart of horror-un-liking Andrew?
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?
Andrew presents one of his all-time favourite films during a time when neither host has been able to experience any kind of outside adventure in almost half a year, it’s a perfect time to lament and wistfully watch a film like this. Will Johnny join Andrew in loving this film, or like Andrew to any of Johnny’s films, will Johnny nitpick this to death?
It’s back to reality, oop there goes gravity, as Andrew and Johnny square up to Isolation August with a spin around 2000’s Julia Roberts Oscar winning performance as Erin Brockovich. Nobody’s going insane or depressed at home, so why wouldn’t a fun romp around big corporations killing and hiding the facts of killing innocent working class people be the kind of film we all enjoy? I’m rambling, one second, I’ll continue, it’s a podcast episode, go listen. End communication.
