5 Great Minor Characters in MoviesHey fellow movie maniacs and mavins, we at the Movie Madness Podcast ask that you join us as we honor some of the film industries unsung heroes. These are the actors that may play second fiddle in our favorite movies, but are often number one in our hearts. They make the stars look good or smart and maybe even save their lives. These are the minor characters, such as sidekicks, comic relief and even straight men that add so much to the films we see. We had a great time picking our favorites and we want you to add yours at: moviemadnesspodcast@gmail.com or call the voice mail at 260-573-0015. You can also post them to our Twitter or Facebook pages.

Remember, without you it’s us just three crazy guys talking to ourselves!


I enjoy the show New Girl , The chemistry of the lead characters is great, you actually believe these people like each other and would be friends in real life even if they weren’t paid to hang around each other. Well Damon Wayans Jr and Jake Johnson found a way to continue their bromance AND  get paid!

The premise is quite outlandish  but quite original haven’t seen a buddy cop movie before where the actors were impersonating cops and having a blast until they meet up with bad guys that want to end their fun.. permanently,

There is actually a twist here you don’t see coming! The 9 people in the theater all said Ahh ! when it happened.

The chemistry was great as usual and Nina Dobrev (Vampire Diaries) was beautiful but was the only character without one funny line.

Justin ( Wayans) exasperated comment when he was coerced into wearing the cop uniform to a party  I look like Danny Glover before he got too old for this shit!  made me giggle

Ryan (Johnson)  was 100 % over the top but smarter than he looked just like the detectives in 21 Jump Street , in which he had a small part.  My sister says he is better in small doses, and cant ever be quiet in  a role but he was great in  indie movie Safety Not Guaranteed

I saw it with my sister and a friend although we  shook our heads at some unrealistic situations we laughed at least once every 5 minutes and were genuinely surprised  once which happens once in a blue moon with a comedy. 22 Jump Street was my favorite comedy so far this year but this is a close second. I give it a  3 out of 5 and say its a rental and the whole family would enjoy it ( well not grandma , some bad language) !

TMNT and Into the StormWe were fans of the original TMNT and we loved Twister with the extreme Bill Paxton! Now with the improvement in cgi the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starring Megan Fox, Will Arnett and William Fichter  has to be better right? Same thing with Into the Storm starring Richard Armitage and Sarah Wayne Callies. There’s no way both these movies could be bad! Is there? Listen in and find out if this was one of the worst weeks in movies for us here at the Movie Madness Podcast! We want to hear from you  with your comments & movie reviews, moviemadnesspodcast@gmail.com or call them in 260-573-0015. You can also post them to our Twitter or Facebook.


GOTG575x359There has been lots of debate and plenty of discussion about upcoming movies here at the Movie Madness Podcast but no film has been revisited more often than Guardians of The Galaxy! Maybe its our comic book nerd-dom, if that’s even a word, or perhaps a yearning for something different. No matter, Guardians of The Galaxy has been such a critical and box office success that we cannot resist talking about it again, we loved it so much. We have turned the mics on and give it a full-on Spoiler Alert! Guardians of The Galaxy episode! There are so many great and funny moments we hope you’ll listen in and have as much fun as we did recording it! We want to hear from you with you thought and comments about Guardians of The Galaxy so call the voice mail # 260-573-0015 or send an email moviemadnesspodcast@gmail.com you can also post them on Facebook or Twitter


Guardians of the Galaxy and Get on UpEvery once in awhile a movie strikes a chord with us and no movie in the history of the Movie Madness Podcast has sparked more discussion before it came out than Guardians of The Galaxy! We were in two camps, Doug and Craig had predicted a critical bomb and only a mild box office success Jeremy was the lone champion never wavering in his full support of The Guardians both critically and financially!  So who was right? you’ll have to listen in to our Mini Review of Guardians of The Galaxy starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and the voices of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel to find out! But wait there’s more! Craig has a review of Get on Up the James Brown bio pic starring Chadwick Boseman, Nelsan Ellis and Dan Aykroyd. Craig thinks there’s Oscar potential in Get on Up so listen in and find out more about this gem that might get missed amongst the blockbusters. We would love to hear your movie reviews!
