Are You Movie Mad‪?‬ Andrew & Johnny

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.

Harper Lee’s iconic book was turned to life with Gregory Peck’s phenomenal portrayal of Atticus Finch as the cornerstone of the entire cultural behemoth. In this episode we discuss Galaxy Chocolate’s US brand name, Foghorn Leghorn and Cut For Time SNL sketches. At some point the Sorkin adaptation, the book and the film come into conversation as well, but not before chifforobe talk.

It’s time to not be nice. Doug Liman’s remake of the Swayze classic and previous episode is here on the Primes and we’re taking a trip to Florida with Jake Gyllenhaal in wild man mode, shirtless, angry, fighting and fussing. Will we dig deep into our feelings for CGI fighting? Will we praise Arturo Castro, Billy Magnussen and Jessica Williams? Will the swordfish shown at the start amount to anything? Some of those questions have positive responses, so grab a bottle, smash a table and remember the famous phrases of Elwood Dalton. “The hospital’s 25 minutes away.”

Oh good lord we did a silly thing.
Two guys who know little about Swift watch 3 hours (not the acoustic post-credits set) of songs, play games, talk Minnie Mouse as Poor Things and explore tge generation that follows.
We had a sync failure so ignore the first countdown, commentary starts 5 seconds into the film, at 16 minutes into the episode exactly.

Andrew brings sadness and heaviness in the form of Sidney Lumet’s final film to Johnny, but have no fear because there is still fun to be had. Two Aunt Mays in one film? You bet we’re throwing out Madame Web chat, weirdly contemplate Ricky Stanicky and run through the strange trailers on the blu ray of the movie that do not set you up for the film ahead.

It’s a Guy hangout when Johnny decides, nay insists, we cover Ritchie’s intended start of a trilogy of London crime flicks and Andrew dons his best ‘East End Accent’ to talk Tom Wilkinson giving it something hard, Mark Strong’s voice, that late 00s colour grading nightmare and just where the proposed rest of the franchise actually went.
