A not-so-routine traffic stop leads the conversation as Johnny and Andrew stay active in this trying time. Rayna hangs out with a new producer, Juliette has a PR date, Avery and Scarlett are definitely forever, and the town of Nashville will never have any dramatic things happening within it, so long as we keep vigil on the show.
005 - MOVE IT ON OVER
It’s time to face up to addictions, deceptions and audits, as Nashville looks to bring characters together and tear relationships apart.
Johnny goes deep in detail whilst Andrew reminisces on the end of Ben Affleck’s The Town and accepts Charles Esten’s smouldering personality.
004 - WE LIVE IN TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS
In the aftermath of Juliette’s criminal activity, Andrew and Johnny recover by discussing the geography of the city of Nashville, problematic characters from the year 2012 and the ensuing political landscape that manifests in the mayoral race on a TV show from the start of the decade. This will be the last episode on the Are You Movie Mad? Podcast feed, we’re going solo from October.
003 - SOMEDAY YOU'LL CALL MY NAME
Things get a little crazy backstage this week, as Andrew and Johnny contemplate the amount of ‘Daddy’ talk in this week’s episode, forget names of characters, and continually engage in the ‘will they/won’t they’ of Rayna and Juliette’s upcoming tour prospects.
002 - I CAN'T HELP IT (I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)
Episode 2 of the Nashville TV Series re-watch show settles us in the world of the show, the dramatic nature of a music-themed statue, and of course more discussion about the use of the term ‘Daddy’. Stay for the coaster discussions and what it means to ‘songwrite’ with another person.
001 - PILOT
Johnny gets Nashville fever and brings Andrew to the ABC drama, all the country music pulls, Powers Boothe as Daddy and Chip Esten’s twin brother Charles dominate the discussion on the hit show’s pilot episode.
BLUEBIRD - THE DOCUMENTARY
Musical/Music Documentary Month gets off to a singing start, as Johnny picks a doc about the Nashville institution that features the likes of Faith Hill, Charles (Chip) Esten, Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks and Kacey Musgraves. Andrew gets a hard indoctrination into modern country performance, and Johnny fondly recalls his travels to the landmark in the pre-pandemic world.
