The Everything Sequel Podcast

We're walking down the aisle to give our thoughts on the 1998 sequel, Bride of Chucky! You'll hear why we admire this movie so much as a metatextual commentary on the series itself and old Hollywood, how pleased we were with the rule of three Three's Company related jokes considering John Ritter's role in the film, and what a delightful addition Jennifer Tilly becomes when she's added to what we d...

The blanks are out and we're loading live rounds as we talk about the third installment in the Chucky series, Child's Play 3! You'll hear the good and the bad in the movie like an opening that closes the capitalism is bad loop of the story at the beginning but also fails to build tension and sticks around too long, the problems with the time jump and what happens and how making your central charac...

We're ready to smash your face and bury you in the backyard if you can't recognize what a solid sequel has been made in Child's Play 2!

It's not exactly child's play when ranking the Chucky series... I know you saw what we did there. You'll hear why this series is so hard to rank as we discuss how many different kinds of sequels there are in this series and why we value what we do, that we may have the same two movies at the top but then diverge greatly in what we like most after that, and some repeated gushing for the voice perfo...

We're stalking the political problems of our latest sequel like the previously level headed and now murderous Chris stalks characters in The Magnificent Seven Ride! That exclamation point finishes the sentence and the title of the movie. You'll hear what we think of Lee Van Cleef taking over the role of Chris and how much his performance changes the essence of the character, several observations a...

We're saddled and ready to ride as we talk about the 1969 sequel, Guns of the Magnificent Seven. You'll hear what we think of changing the casting of Chris from Yul Brynner to George Kennedy, how the approaching 1970's makes for this movie to take a dark turn towards bleakness, and why the performances of the supporting cast, including and especially Claude Akins. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supp...

We may not be gunslinger ready but if you need commentary on a sequel, we can certainly be picked up out of jail to discuss any continuing sagas, like the 1966 sequel, Return of the Seven. You'll hear why this movie ranks at the top of both of our lists, a lot of gushing about the stellar work done by the actors in this film, especially the supporting cast, and quite a few Burt Lancaster and John...

It's a first for the show as we debate over whether or not the 2019 film, Critters Attack!, is a sequel or a reboot. You'll hear us dispense with that debate quickly, muse over how much South Africa looks nothing like America, and generally how much we keep attacking this movie because it so richly deserves it. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew P...

There's no series we feel more responsibility to pitch well for than the Critters series because they took their job so seriously as each new movie onboarded onto the series and you'll have to judge if we've done the movies justice! You'll hear which of us or if both of us pick up right where Critters 4 ends, which of us is going for a Planet of the Apes vibe (that shouldn't be hard), and which of...

We're going to where several sequels have gone before, to outer space to end a series, or end a series for now, as we discuss the 1992 sequel, Critters 4. You'll hear why we know this isn't a good movie but has it's charms and is fun to watch, a blow by blow account of how this movie feeds off of other films and series in unexpected ways, and a discussion about how it's okay to completely change a...

We're hitting the road and heading home so we can head to the microphones to discuss the 1991 sequel, Critters 3. You'll hear how we believe Leonardo DiCaprio to be fully formed as an actor, not to mention this movie being a record of the last time Leo was interested in someone his own age, more conversations about how this film and the series manages to get continuity right while still moving on...

We're hatching our commentary for a new series and are hoping you'll mop up our green ooze of comments for the 1988 sequel, Critters 2: The Main Course. You'll hear what we think of the blending of horror and comedy that we believe makes this film such a fun watch, how much we like the recognizable actors who are giving it their all across the board, and how impressed we are by the way in which th...

You'll hear which of us sets their sequel in outer space, which of us creates a prequel, how Kurt Russel gets involved, and why Burt Reynolds and Charles Bronson, among others, creep into a pitch. Thank god for our Time Machine! Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly sup...

We don't know how to quit when it comes to sequels and on that note, some series don't know when to quit; case in point, the 2023 sequel, Expend4bles. That lack of know how lead to grounding this series to halt. You'll hear a lengthy discussion about how this movie starts by getting the simplest of things completely wrong, the uncanny valley quality of the film due to the terrible use of CGI for a...

We're the perfect blend of young and old so we don't need a hot, new crew to help us discuss the 2014 sequel, The Expendables 3.

We've loaded all our merciless quips into our giant airplane because we're ready to take flight as we talk about the 2012 sequel, The Expendables 2.

Darko. Enjoy! Thanks to...

We're uniting in an act of girl power because we learned all the wrong lessons from our latest sequel, St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. You'll hear too many, but absolutely necessary explanations about quintessential British humor from resident Brit, Tom Steward, just so you can keep up with why this movie makes the choices that it does, several digressions that keep us from having t...

We're as confused about this movie as the movie itself is both in title and in concept and execution but we're still trying to make sense of it all for you, the listeners, as we discuss the 2009 sequel, S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale. You'll hear a tangent heavy episode as we are almost always talking about anything other than S. Darko, several questions about why they didn't try to make a movie ab...
