Here’s hoping that the second movie in the Divergent Series-Insurgent, is at least as good as the first! I enjoyed the Divergent and hoped to see more, but was disappointed with the first trailer. This one looks way better and should get a few of you off your couch at down in the 3rd row with me. Please though, no popcorn throwing, only Mr. Jeremy is allowed! Release Date: Mar. 20th, 2015.

A new princess movie from Disney, how shocking! I’ve heard some discord concerning another Disney Cinderella, but look…nobody does it better. Give this movie a shot, the trailer looks good and what could it hurt? Releasing: Mar. 13, 2015.

Wow, if you weren’t excited before you’ve seen this trailer you darn sure oughta be now. The Avengers are back and facing one of their most brutal challenges. I’ll tell you, this is one of my favorite trailers in the last few years and I cannot wait. Check out the trailer and be in line on: May 1st, Friday! I’ll see you there.

This is definitely one of my most anticipated films of the year…even more now that I’ve seen the trailer! The Man From U.N.C.L.E. looks like great fun and Henry Cavill seems a pretty good pick for Napoleon Solo. Even more, Armie Hammer might be a very credible Ilya Kuryakin-my favorite character! I’m putting all my hopes on Guy Ritchie and his unusual sense of the serious amid the absurd. I loved the 60s TV series and hope to love the movie as much. Enjoy! Release date: Aug, 14, 2015

This is one we love: Kingsman: The Secret Service, and the trailer is one of the best! With Colin Firth and Michael Caine leading the cast this film almost has to be fun. I think Kingsman looks like a great mix of the 1960s TV show, The Avengers, and 007 and I cannot wait. Release Date: Feb, 13, 2015.

Yep, Fifty Shades of Grey‘s a phenomenon, but not so much for the guys at the Movie Madness Podcast. Well, maybe Jeremy, but surely not for the Doug or the Maniac. But for those of you that happen to like the book here’s a look at the trailers! Release Date: Feb, 13, 2015

Monumentally stupid and yet quite funny, The Interview stars Seth Rogen and James Franco. James Franco is Dave Skylark, the Jerry Springer-like star of a gotcha style tabloid show and Rogen is Aaron Rapaport, his producer/sidekick. Rapaport is fed up with the slimy, low class style of the show and is bent on leaving for hard hitting journalism. He is ripe for a change.

When Skylark discovers that North Korean President Kim Jong Un (Randall Park), is a big fan, he approaches Rapaport to propose interviewing the leader. When the communist dictator happily agrees, the CIA approaches them with a brilliant idea: lets have the idiots assassinate him. Since Skylark is a notorious lecher they send in a rather exposed CIA operative, Agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan), to literally titillate him into complying. He succumbs and we have a movie.

Surprisingly, The Interview is quite funny and wonderfully reminiscent. Watching Interview is like finally seeing the sequel to Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd‘s Spies Like Us. I only wish they’d added a scene with the two Saturday Night Live superstars to add a cherry to the otherwise tasty idiocy.

The chemistry between the guys, Franco and Rogen, is classic and they’re like a marijuana hazed, and modern, version of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy: great friends, but we’re always waiting for “another fine mess.” There is definitely love between the two in this classic comic bromance and I love it.

With all of the silliness it’s surprising that the directors, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, worked so hard to make Kim Jong Un and Agent Lacey such good characters. Much of the credit goes to Randall Park and Lizzy Caplan of course. Park brought a wonderful crazed humanity to his role and when he switches from loveable to insane, it’s startling. He was endearing as the good guy and scary as the bad one.

Caplan too was quite good. She brought a weird charm to her role as a recruiter for assassination. She could have phoned this one in and gotten away with it, but instead made a little magic. She was strangely likeable even in the strangest roles. I’ve liked her since her quirky True Blood and New Girl characters and would love to see her bring a little of that oddness to romantic comedy.

The Interview is, by no means, a brilliant break out comedy, but it is fun to watch with some rather good characters working hard to make the film fun. Congratulations to Sony for following through and making this movie so easy to access. You can find this one everywhere on the internet, but checkout out The Interview Website.

Rating: 3 Stars out of 5 and no reason to see it at the theater.

A really stunning trailer for a film that we all are hoping is exceptional. Check out Channing Tatum’s ears if you’re wondering why we have some concern. Still…Jupiter Ascending is one movie for which the Movie Madness Podcast is anxiously awaiting.

It’s coming: Superman vs. Batman and I’m trepidatious. I can’t say I’ve  loved Ben Affleck, well…pretty much in anything, but at least the other guy, Henry Cavill, looks like a Superman. Seriously, check out the trailer and let us know what you think!

I gotta get me one of these! I love The Minions and this is the movie I’m most looking forward to. I love this trailer and think that you better too, or maybe a large group of weird yellow guys will show up on your front porch to find out why.
