Curated by Douglas Davidson and edited by Crystal Davidson, the purpose of Elements of Madness is to provide insight into past, present, and future cinematic releases each Friday. Whether it's through DVD or streaming recommendations, new release reviews, or trailers, EoM seeks to expand horizons by discussing films of both wide and narrow release. No film is too big, too small, too mainstream, or too niche.

View and review new releases in theaters, on-demand systems, and DVD.

The latest podcast to enter the Poprika Podcast Network is The Cine-Men, hosted by Poprika founder Seed and EoM founder Douglas Davidson. The aim of the show is to discuss the films we’ve seen and those we haven’t in all the ways that make them work or don’t. The show will also feature the “Cine-Men Challenge” in which the hosts will test the other with films they haven’t seen for future discussion.
