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.

317 - Drop Dead Fred

Our 350th film covered! (If you include bonuses and commentaries, and you should, we still watched all of those)
Fredtember ends with one of the most reviled, disgusted, discussed Razzie-winning films known to cinema. Tom Green’s creative-endeavour-to-career-ender Freddy Got Fingered, which includes a ‘fun’ Tom Green Quiz to drive Johnny insane, and Andrew offers multiple fun facts that melt Johnny’s poor brain. Plus discussion of Robert Redford’s passing, The Long Walk,  Spinal Tap 2, Downton Abbey 3, The Conjuring 4, Roger Deakins In Person and The Paper. Hoo boy this one’s an epic, and very silly indeed. Dada-esque if you will, and you should not.

November, where nothing bad ever happened to a Kennedy, and we’re watching the strangely vast ensemble perform for Emilio Estevez in the build up to an event that would land us where we are now, I guess (among many many other things) and play a game of Casting Kennedys. Also, Johnny catches up on I Swear, there’s chatter about the Roofman, Bugonia, Shelby Oaks, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, The Mastermind and Johnny has specific thoughts, with slight spoilers, on the film Regretting You. What an ensemble we made ourselves, we are the Emilio Estevezes (Estevee?) of podcasting.

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.
