Everybody Runs, some simply run their mouth. We dive into Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning before jumping to Spielberg and Cruise’s first feature together, the sci-fi noir that has Tom Cruise calling Colin Farrell a twink. And other elements, but mainly that.

310 - Minority Report

June’s strange theme of early-00s tech thrillers starring A-list Scientologists that also briefly feature William Mapother concludes with the Huge Act-Man/Halle Berry movie Swordfish, a film illegal to watch on anything other than a very ragged previously-rented VHS or scratched up DVD straight from the Blockbuster remainder sale. What delights will be discovered in the filmography of Skip Woods, the imdb page of Thomas Jefferson and the 2002 Critics Choice Award winners? And good god is there anything even in this film to grab on to?
No.

311 - Swordfish

blackout heart (demo)

Johnny is having a nostalgia month, taking Andrew through his Robert Rodriguez trilogy that feature Antonio Banderas, Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo, just decidedly less blood and guns than the El Mariachi trifecta. Andrew talks From The World Of John Wick Ballerina, Rachel Zegler on stage in Evita and Sondheim’s final work Here We Are at the National, high art and low blows, plus plenty of Cumming.

312 - Spy Kids

Let Loose

Yes, we’re in sequel mode but that doesn’t mean just the film we’re watching, we’re also looking at the new Jurassic World and James Gunn’s new take on Superman, so you know there’s talk of Krypto abound. Johnny attempts to remember anything about the second Spy Kids movie and, in failing, discovers through watching whatever was even in The Island Of Lost Dreams (spoilers, it’s Steve Buscemi and CG animals).

313 - Spy Kids 2: The Island Of Lost Dreams

The end is nigh, well actually it’s fully here for the first Spy Kids trilogy (the only full trilogy thus far). Johnny’s setting the game up to capture Andrew and make him suffer ThumbThumbs forever and ever. But before all that they have to discuss Marvel’s latest Fantastic Four movie, First Steps, and the London production of Sing Street on stage. Lots to play for, who will win and what will be left of them?

314 - Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (In 2D)

Andrew runs his giant ego by making this month a celebration of his lineage, Jones Month, starting with the David Duchovny/Demi Moore capitalist satire, leading to talk of the old days of cinema, TV adaptations and product placement. Somehow there’s time to talk Dexter, Taskmaster New Zealand and the continuing adventures of Cliff Booth because like Chuck whose Life is told in a recent film, we contain multitudes.

315 - The Joneses

August continues in that end-of-summer way as Andrew insists on making Jones Month a full-on thing, bringing a Gal Gadot-Jon Hamm Handsome Mann action comedy to the table to see if Johnny regrets not being born into the family Jones and not taking Andrew’s name when the podcast began like old traditions of yore. But before that finally the duo get down to talking the 2025 version of The Naked Gun, an unashamedly spoiler-heavy discussion of Zach Cregger’s Weapons, Freakier Friday and former-landlord Jim Broadbent’s horror icons - his mannequins.

316 - Keeping Up With The Joneses

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.
