Are You Movie Mad?

An early start to Musical Month sees Johnny highlight one of his favourites, a UK horror zombie musical comedy. Andrew can’t quite get a grip before seeing it, will he discover the magic before curtain call?

An abrupt 4-hour ending to Once Upon A Time In month, as Tarantino’s latest is out in the UK weeks after the US, so Andrew and Johnny watch another Sergio Leone film and wonder which Muppet would play which character. Because 4 hours is a long time.

Charles Bronson and Ice-T pop in to bring a little lethargic flavour to this week’s episode, as Andrew and Johnny start to wonder if bedtime stories begin with ‘Once Upon A Time’ for a reason.

Bruce Willis takes a paycheck and viewers are greeted with a live-action remake of Naked Bart Simpson Skating. Looking for highlights is a task befitting the best private eyes in cinema.

Once Upon A Month begins with Rodriguez’s epic conclusion to the Mariachi trilogy, as Jim Broadbent offers his take on a reboot.

Yesterday all our movies seemed so Beatles-based. We take a look at the weird Julie Taymor musical that has all the Beatles songs and maybe a little plot somewhere.

Andrew is PUMPED to show one of his favourite films, Johnny is PSYCHED to watch Quentin Tarantino act, and Antonio Banderas drops by to talk smouldering intensity.

Starting a look at Robert Rodriguez’s iconic franchise, Andrew and Johnny grab their guitar cases, head to Mexico and make plenty of Freddie Mercury jokes.

It’s time for parodies, getting weird and one of Andrew’s all-time favourite jokes, in an episode that examines the difficulties of skit comedy in narrative settings, and what the 80s were for those of us not alive then.

Christopher Lloyd comes to the studio to talk his favourite film, the 2013 Snowpiercer, released finally in the UK in 2019. The joys of Tilda Swinton, working out untranslated scenes for years and living on a train are the primary focuses of the day.

Taxi Cab Confessions as the duo sit in with Evil Tom Cruise and talk jams, Robert Battinson and contract killings. Will Johnny fall in love with the acclaimed thriller, or will Nick Nolte ruin everything by spoiling his upcoming film Angel Has Fallen?

It feels like we’ve watched Tony Scott films a few times of late, but Johnny can’t get beyond the basic joke of Deja Vu, until the film blows his fragile mind.

Heads you live, Tails you watch Keira Knightley as a bounty hunter in a film that really just kinda plays out in front of your eyes. Tony Scott, man.

Keep tracking the target as Andrew and Johnny hunt for Tony Scott’s paranoia thriller, and another Will Smith turn that sparks the magic of the genie. We’re tied to Aladdin and boy is it hard to find Will Smith films Johnny hasn’t seen.

Andrew didn’t see The Last Jedi when it came to the cinemas in December 2017, but he did hear and read crazy things about the film over the year afterwards. So much so that he wrote what he assumed might be the script to the film based on such hearsay. Now Johnny is putting Andrew’s predictions against the movie for Star Wars day, and you can too! https://ethanrunt.wordpress.com/the-last-jedi-an-original-screenplay

Happy Mayday! It’s time to step into the ring and take the mantle of the world’s greatest with Will Smith’s big Oscar-hope, whilst discussions veer towards documentaries over biopics and Avengers: Endgame because of course.

Grimy 70s New York is back and on track as Andrew and Johnny discuss hostage-taking, perfect crimes and whatever the Joker movie is going to be. Tangents are fun, but keeping to train-like schedule is as shockingly good a time.

Sometimes dead is better, but as a bonus to Stephen King month, podcasting is better. Andrew and Johnny discuss The Wicker Man, pagan rituals, writing notes at the cinema and where they wish to be buried (it is not in a pet sematary).
