Are You Movie Mad?263 - Reno- 911!- MiamiIt’s time to take a trip back to the mid-noughties and one of those TV-show-movie-spin-offs that is full of big cameos, big laughs, and weirdly unknown beyond those that are aware of the original show, or the Quibi reboot from 2020. It’s the first in-person recording since March 2020, and Andrew has made Johnny a red velvet cake, they taste it on-air! Johnny rates the Venom Burger from a promo event, whilst Andrew demonstrates a pitch-perfect Kristen Stewart As Princess Diana impression.

Are You Movie Mad?253 - Thir13en GhostsOctober is, of course, the spookiest month, Halloween Kills month itself, and Johnny has once more taken the reins to show Andrew a series of scary motion pictures. We begin with the Matthew Lillard-starring ‘I remember this from back at school’ movie 13 Ghosts, where Johnny reads descriptions for each of the Ectocean’s gang, and the duo discuss No Time To Die, a film they had definitely watched before recording.

Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod is on the podcast as we watch the extended, and only-available, cut of Highlander’s infamous sequel. Will Andrew take to a second film to a franchise he doesn’t care for? Will Johnny’s nostalgia be busted by a new look and a different edit? Will Queen create a whole new soundtrack using Christopher Lambert’s chuckle? What kind of party would it be without Michael Ironside anyway? Come for the sword fighting, stay forever because you’re an immortal human...

Are You Movie Mad?229 - Life (!999)Life, oh life, oh life, doo doot doot doo.
Johnny mentioned he also hadn’t seen the Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence movie ‘Life’ and since it is streaming, unlike a lot of films, Andrew has allowed an entire episode surrounding a film he once rented as a kid, expecting a wild comedy, and rewound and returned before the first hour was up. Will the last hour make up for Baby Andrew’s experiences?
2021-02-2442 minAre You Movie Mad?228 - The Cable GuyWelcome to the podcast, Jim Carrey. Johnny mentioned he hasn’t seen the infamous mid-90s black comedy, and Andrew, the man that he is, loves The Cable Guy so much and wants to hold Johnny’s hand through his first time.

2021-02-171h 08Are You Movie Mad?BATB 019 - Why Don't You Love MeDeacon gives away his dog. I guess there are other storylines in this week’s episode, but Andrew gets significantly hung up on Deacon giving Sue away so suddenly. What is Nashville without the iconic Deacon/Sue partnership of the past few weeks? Johnny feels like Will Lexington and Scarlett are gonna be the BFFs of the year, and can’t seem to get Andrew’s head around who is biologically related to whom.
2021-01-221h 14Are You Movie Mad?BATB 018 - Take These Chains From My HeartIt’s our longest episode, because there’s stuff to get to with the world of Country Music in Nashville. Juliette is succumbing to Dante’s peak, and it throws Deacon, Jolene and the whole industry into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Johnny’s love for new character Will Lexington continues to confuse Andrew, and has made it so Johnny can no longer remember the term ‘Roadie’, nor the Showtime hit TV show Roadies.
2021-01-151h 21Are You Movie Mad?224 - Southland Tales - The Cannes CutHere we go, the one everyone’s been demanding. Andrew discovered that Universal has had the Cannes Cut of the iconic sci-fi apocalypse comedy satire on iTunes for a while, and as the Arrow blu ray release comes closer, it’s time to show Johnny not only Southland Tales, but the 160 minute thicker version, with less exposition and more comic asides. Johnny is not on board, but Andrew’s new twin Aaron seems happy with the situation, and offers an option to make the world end.
2021-01-131h 04Are You Movie Mad?BONUS - Cats Commentary 25FPSIt’s Sky Cinema release day for Cats in the UK and Johnny is all fur-ious that he’s not watching it with Andrew, and Andrew wishes he could paws life for the 2 hours it takes to sit through Tom Hooper’s Cats.

2020-12-262h 04Are You Movie Mad?BATB 016 - I Saw The LightIn the final episode of 2020, Andrew and Johnny prepare for the onslaught of Nashville shenanigans and watch an episode of the TV show that is mostly set in… NEW YORK CITY?!?
Boy howdy, Johnny is excited to introduce Will Lexington to the show, insisting the hat-wearing man is the show’s best character, but Andrew opts to focus on the intimate abilities of the Muppets over on Sesame Street.
2020-12-181h 17Are You Movie Mad?BATB 013 - There'll Be No Teardrops TonightFollowing Theodore’s wish for a divorce with Rayna, Andrew and Johnny witness some of that before-times partying hard, whilst Deacon and Juliette battle a manager that dislikes, ya know, actual music. Johnny focuses on a fake energy drink, but Andrew is more concerned with which of Rayna’s children is Daphne and which one is Maddie. This is world-shaking material, so get ready for shocks galore.
2020-11-271h 00Are You Movie Mad?BATB 012 - I've Been Down That Road BeforeA lazy day backstage at the Bluebird has Andrew chilling, Johnny reciting Nashville plot points and Deacon & Rayna having multiple awkward elevator encounters. Gunnar’s entourage ruins a musical performance, Theodore and Margaret spend too much time together, Juliette dares to perform without dancers and pyro, and Avery gets to be on everyone’s favourite TV show ‘Star Towns’. Johnny really tries to ruin Andrew’s belief regarding buying nail polish, but who will win out?
2020-11-2053 minAre You Movie Mad?BATB 011 - You Win AgainThere’s some real catty attitudes abound with Andrew and Johnny this week. An episode full of big emotional monologues and shock moments has Andrew getting angry and hurt in equal measure, as Johnny kindly lays out the continuing adventures of those wacky musicians in the titular town. Will Ming-Na Wen be the game-changer of the season, or another complication for everyone on the show?
2020-11-131h 04Are You Movie Mad?215 - David Byrne's American UtopiaIt’s a post-election, current-lockdown world, and Johnny is finally bearing witness to the gold of American Utopia, after the 2018 episode on Stop Making Sense and Andrew’s attempts to get Johnny to see the show live, in the end it all comes down to an HBO Max account and a distinct hope and love for humanity in the darkest of times. Join the celebration of music, ideas, togetherness and looking to better one another, plus I guess jokes.
2020-11-111h 08Are You Movie Mad?213 - E.T. The Extra - TerrestrialJohnny closes out Shocktober with the film he deems scariest of all, based on childhood traumas. Andrew is ready for a Spielberg slice of fun. Will ET remain a terrifying figure for Adult Johnny? Will Halloween in lockdown be any fun whatsoever? What good is having an alien buddy if you can’t go around freaking folk out?
2020-10-2853 minAre You Movie Mad?BONUS - The Social Network CommentaryRecorded on the 10th anniversary of the UK release, and celebrating Johnny’s 27th birthday, Andrew and Johnny dive into Fincher/Sorkin’s generation-defining masterpiece.

2020-10-192h 31Are You Movie Mad?BATB 007 - Lovesick BluesScarlett and Avery’s fallout looms large over an episode about togetherness, redressing the balance, and of course Nashville geography.

2020-10-161h 07Are You Movie Mad?211 - SinisterJohnny takes command of the episode and makes Andrew sit through a modern horror that he absolutely adores. Andrew prepares for the Ethan Hawke of it all, and finds ways to make horror less scary by turning Sinister into a Muppet movie. Johnny tries to remember his top 10 films of 2012, but there seems to be some cursed beast within the archives, unleashing its own sinister brand of evil. The bad guy of this film is named Mr. Boogie, by the way.
2020-10-0748 minAre You Movie Mad?208 - Top HatJohnny loves The Green Mile but has been so obsessed with a scene in the film where Michael Clarke Duncan watches Top Hat in the cinema and cries. Now it’s time for Johnny to finally see the whole film, in context, and Andrew is dragged along despite his hatred of Fred and Ginger films. Will Top Hat be top of the hats, or some second thing that means bad?
2020-09-2343 minAre You Movie Mad?206 - The Phantom Of The OperaIt’s another Andrew Lloyd Webber musical adaptation for another musical month, and this one sees the late Joel Schumacher cast Gerard ‘Punch The Weather’ Butler as the titular phantom.

Andrew gets a hard indoctrination into modern country performance, and Johnny fondly recalls his travels to the landmark in the pre-pandemic world.
Finally, maybe, a new podcast is spawned from this episode? Keep your ears out!
2020-09-0257 minAre You Movie Mad?BONUS - FrightFest 2020 Day 1Johnny 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.
2020-08-2928 minAre You Movie Mad?204 - The DroneIt’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?
2020-08-2650 minAre You Movie Mad?202 - Into The WildAndrew 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?
2020-08-121h 01Are You Movie Mad?201 - Erin BrockovichIt’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.
2020-08-0548 minAre You Movie Mad?200 - Hamilton - An American Musical ACT IIIt’s episode 200, 200!

2020-07-293h 28Are You Movie Mad?199 - Being John MalkovichIt’s episode 199 and Andrew is bringing the Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman of it back to Johnny in a conclusively final first creative experience episode.

2020-07-2253 minAre You Movie Mad?197 - Book ClubIt’s another Johnny pick whilst the lockdown continues to hurt the streaming video libraries, and the 2018 septuagenarian rom-com experience is explored and the hotness of Andy Garcia is stretched to feature length.

2020-07-0848 minAre You Movie Mad?196 - QT8 - The First EightJohnny’s love of Quentin Tarantino returns as he makes Andrew watch a doc about the director’s films (besides Hollywood) and sheds new light on the whole Weinstein situation.

2020-07-0153 minAre You Movie Mad?195 - The King Of Staten IslandWell, it’s been a long time coming, the latest Judd Apatow film dropped online a few weeks back, and Andrew was psyched. Johnny tags along like it’s a regular day at the cinema, and comes away contemplating Pete Davidson’s comedy, and the potency of Bill Burr as an actor.
2020-06-2455 minAre You Movie Mad?194 - Artemis FowlIt’s hard to find something new in this weird dead world, but Disney+ bring a film intended for August 2019 straight to streaming a year later, and Andrew and Johnny see it as reason enough to give it a go. Stay for Johnny’s Irish roots which makes Andrew’s Irish accent even MORE offensive, in these trying times.
2020-06-1751 minAre You Movie Mad?193 - World's Greatest DadA light spry comedy with Robin Williams is just the tonic this world needs, so Andrew throws Johnny into the proverbial deep end with a Bobcat Goldthwait picture, and discusses the times he attempted to bring a second Williams/Goldthwait project to the forefront, because nostalgia and distraction are all we have left in this rotting world of ours.
2020-06-1044 minAre You Movie Mad?192 - Funny PeopleOn the eve of The King Of Staten Island it’s time to check into Apatown for one more swing for the fences, and a 145 minute Adam Sandler cancer drama. Can Johnny make it through the extended runtime? Can Andrew make it through the extended lockdown? Are rhetorical questions good for adding mystery?
2020-06-031h 02Are You Movie Mad?191 - Top Secret!How silly can you get? Well, for Andrew and Johnny this is about the lockdown limit of silly. Coming off discovering 2 different planned films were no longer available to watch, plan C has gone into action, and comedy, and spy thriller, and musical, and all genres to fit in Val Kilmer’s crooning teen-hearthrob-hero Cold War spoof movie.
2020-05-2752 minAre You Movie Mad?BONUS - Cats CommentaryIt’s digital release day for Cats in the UK and Johnny is all fur-ious that he’s not watching it with Andrew, and Andrew wishes he could paws life for the 2 hours it takes to sit through Tom Hooper’s Cats.

2020-05-222h 09Are You Movie Mad?190 - Under Siege 2- Dark TerritoryAndrew brings back Casey Ryback as Johnny tries to remember what it was like to be Under Siege the first time. Andrew also dishes out information on how to be Under Siege in Dark Territory, and how the film uses various semiotic, metaphoric and visual ways to create a siege that is in dark territory, and that is under said siege. It’s very clever.
2020-05-1949 minAre You Movie Mad?189 - BrimstoneJohnny loves this 150 minute frontier horror, and insists Andrew saddle up for a ride into hell and back, promising that Retribution Is Coming. Andrew, meanwhile, breaks down and contemplates what a serial killer horse could get away with back in olden times. Yep. That’s how the lockdown’s going, folks.
2020-05-1355 minAre You Movie Mad?BONUS - 101 Dalmations 1996 CommentaryAndrew’s 30th birthday celebrations are isolated to watching films with friends, and Johnny’s plan to surround Andrew with many furry ones has succumbed instead to popping on Disney+ and watching the Glenn Close live-action comedy. Andrew hasn’t seen the film, has no connection to the work, it is not a meaningful choice by any stretch, but come watch the film with Andrew and Johnny. Fun, games, furs and frivolities included.
2020-05-052h 15Are You Movie Mad?186 - GottiOh gotti, protect us. Andrew insists on watching a film directed by E from Entourage, and brings Johnny down with him.

2020-04-2253 minAre You Movie Mad?185 - Knocked UpAndrew throws on one of his all-time comfort comedies, and Johnny’s expectations are completely subverted as Seth Rogen puts a baby into our hearts. Snippets of The Irishman meeting It and ideas for additional sort-of sequels within the Apatowverse are presented to warn off insanity mid-quarantine.
2020-04-151h 01Are You Movie Mad?184 - Impractical Jokers - The MovieJohnny takes the stage in an impromptu schedule shift, as The Tenderloins’ hit TV show reaches the big screen (A digital release because there are no ‘big screens’ anymore, up is down, cats and dogs are marrying my mother!), and insists we watch Impractical Jokers - The Movie just after its worldwide April Fool’s Day release. Andrew finds understanding in quality TV-To-Film adaptations and reality-meets-sketch hybrid creations, whilst Johnny hurts himself laughing.
2020-04-0858 minAre You Movie Mad?BONUS - Isolation Test - Disney+ TalkAs Covid-19 has put us all in self-isolation, the usual episode feeling of being together, feeding off one-another’s energy is out the window. Testing out online recording for future use, Andrew and Johnny talk Better Call Saul (SPOILERS), Disney+, hint at next week’s episode and Johnny Cash of course comes up once again.
2020-03-2843 minAre You Movie Mad?182 - MargaretSitting on the shelf after a long time, we release an episode on Kenneth Lonergan’s much-delayed epic human drama, where Johnny has some sort of comprehensive understanding of humanity and the universe, and Andrew reminisces on the single-screen opening day in London.
2020-03-2557 minAre You Movie Mad?180 - Inside ManThe perfect bank robbery film deserves the perfect podcast episode. But for now, this’ll have to do, as Johnny gets another Spike Lee Joint under his belt, and Andrew remembers the wonderful times of 2006 cinema, when Clive Owen could do just about anything, except be Bond.
2020-03-1143 minAre You Movie Mad?179 - The African QueenWhat other podcast can go from 2019 to 1951 in such a smooth move? Johnny’s not seen maybe any Katherine Hepburn picture before, and Andrew is forced to listen to Billie Eilish for the first time. Johnny then delves into time travel more as he explains the manifestations of DC’s TV shows.
2020-03-0453 minAre You Movie Mad?178 - Smokin' AcesRyan Rodney Reynolds and the fridge seller-turned stand-up Jeremy “Plugs” Piven join on Joe Carnahan’s contract killer It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, the final episode in 18-rated month. Andrew reminisces about college, Johnny satisfies himself with his music collection.
2020-02-261h 00Are You Movie Mad?177 - Event HorizonDo You See? Andrew leads the command towards the big ship Event Horizon, where everything is fine and dandy and nothing is 18-rated space horror. Johnny is prepared for anything when thinking about 90s special effects, and how mainstream extreme cinema evolved in the decades since.
2020-02-1944 minAre You Movie Mad?176 - Eastern PromisesIt’s time to head to East London and discuss Viggo Mortensen’s naked bathfighting, that time they gave an Oscar to a film about a pizza-folding man, and Naomi Watts’ dramatic scenes in small chain restaurants of England. For a little Valentine’s Day special Andrew and Johnny share their passions, and mostly prepare for Sonic The Hedgehog.
2020-02-1258 min
Are You Movie Mad?175 - Rambo- Last BloodAfter covering every Rambo movie years ago, it was destined that Stallone would return once more to the podcast, and after poisoning Andrew he takes co-hosting duties to share with Johnny the insanity of his latest angry-old-man-murders-an-ethnic-group movie.

2020-01-2939 min
Are You Movie Mad?173 - Bad Boys For LifeHitting the mark at the end of the trilogy, Johnny cannot understand why he signed up to seeing all three, and Andrew is hesitant about a Bay-less installment, and what the legacy of Joe Carnahan will be to the third film.
2020-01-2257 min
Are You Movie Mad?172 - Bad Boys IIComing in to the 21st century and a vulgar auterist creation lambasted and weirdly lauded, Johnny finds himself questioning the franchise as a whole, and specifically the purpose of action cinema in an incomprehensible manner. Andrew, meanwhile, attempts to deconstruct, to find meaning, in the bayhem unleashed.
2020-01-151h 03

Are You Movie Mad?169 - Cats The MovieJohnny’s most anticipated film of Winter becomes Andrew’s most feared trip to the cinema. Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the acclaimed (?) musical where James Corden plays a cat, and the world must be destroyed. Some Star Wars talk, if you are avoiding such.
