Friday, 24 April, 2026
There’s no slowing down this week on the show as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have nine reviews for you. They include a documentary on a female punk band (Pretty Ugly: The Story of the Lunachicks) and the Tourettes film that the BAFTAs just loved (I Swear). A woman on holiday decides if she wants to hook up with Charli XCX again (Erupcja), Anthony Mackie fights for the women of Arabia (Desert Warrior) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson must deal with a WWII bomb found in London (Fuze). Charlize Theron is hunted through the wilderness by Taron Egerton (Apex) while Jason Segel & Samara Weaving’s plans to kill each other get interrupted (Over Your Dead Body). Anne Hathaway’s singer needs a dress in the new film from David Lowery (Mother Mary) and the King of Pop gets part of a biopic from Antoine Fuqua and the Jackson estate (Michael).4:38 - Pretty Ugly: The Story of the Lunachicks11:56 - I Swear20:04 - Erupcja33:15 - Desert Warrior42:59 - Fuze54:02 - Apex1:06:46 - Over Your Dead Body1:18:11 - Mother Mary1:35:23 - MichaelCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik’s Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics’ Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik’s Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.
