Episode 7: ‘Crazy People’ (1990)
The movie used real brands for its fake ads (but didn’t bother to get permission).
It's finally here: Not just AN ad movie, but arguably THE ad movie.
In our newest episode, we're watching "Crazy People" from 1990. You can listen below or wherever you get your podcasts.
If you haven't seen it (and you definitely should), it's the tale of a big-agency copywriter whose big break comes in the form of a big breakdown. When he abruptly decides to start writing ads that tell the unfiltered truth, his bosses are furious—until sales skyrocket.
We had a blast discussing this one, and we hope you'll let us know what you think of it, especially over at Patreon.com/AdCinemaClub
