47. Matt Haworth - My Movie DNA
Episode 47
Sunday, 22 March, 2026
In episode 47, Johnny talks to animator, writer and art director Matt Haworth. Matt is one of the key players at Auckland’s Mukpuddy Animation Studios, which you may be familiar with through their animated shows Bad Jelly, Night Eyes and The Barefoot Bandits. Johnny and Matt's chat includes a discussion around the history and future of animated films, they take a deep dive into the works of John Carpenter, Guillermo del Toro, and the Wachowskis, they trade tales of horrific moviegoing experiences - some far more threatening than others - and they try and understand what went horrifically wrong with Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. This conversation was recorded face to face in late-February of 2026.Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant podcast music (check out James' Loco Looper game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.You can contact My Movie DNA on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @mymovieDNA or email mymovieDNA@gmail.com.Check out Johnny's new podcast series, 500 Films: A Journey Through Genre Cinema, available wherever you get your podcasts.
