It’s time to hit Miami in John Singleton’s installment of the Fast Franchise, and we’re walking Mark Boone Junior rat torture, houseboats, Tej’s hair and old school graphics. What happens when a studio tries to sequalise something without clear direction or the franchise? How, in the long run, will this film live out its legacy? Will Tyrese’s character find footing before the end credits?

Fast Fridays - Episode 02 - 2 Fast 2 Furious

Johnny Knoxville and Brian Cox star in a film where the heart may be in the right place but the realisation definitely isn’t, so naturally there’s discussion of how it appeared on Disney+ when the Fox deal happened, and only when we plan an episode does it leave. Also long talk on the Joker: Folie a Deux trailer and a visit from Wallace Shawn to remind everyone that Rifkin’s Festival happened.

It’s (gonna be) May, and with that we’re celebrating for some reason by clowning around with new horror ‘icon’ Art The Clown who seems to go around with knives and a gun to do killings to people. That’s as far as the lore allows us to go. Andrew recites half of Bart Simpson’s Deep Deep Trouble off the top of the dome and Johnny prepares for a wild night of FrightFest-related film watching, because this ain’t the end of our Terrifier coverage this month.

281 - Terrifier

The sequel to a barely-seen 84 minute indie horror splatter picture was of course a film longer than Star Wars (Episode IV) and made a tidy $15m worldwide, but what is it about the film, Damien Leone’s blank cheque and Art The Clown that gets audiences riled up and excited for more of his nasty, gory shenanigans? Andrew and Johnny probe the hard questions on the second half of an all-nighter recording that may have broken everything in both hosts’ brains, not in the way Art usually handles gooey organs though.

282 - Terrifier 2

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.
