This week for our inter-season chat we're discussing cameos, from the ones you can't miss to the ones you'd barely know were there. From repeat offenders like Hitchcock and Stan Lee to musical guests and even royalty, you'd be surprised who's sneaked onto your screen without you knowing...

Editor's Note: There are some audio glitches on Tim's microphone, apologies for this. We've identified the problem so it won't happen in the future. This week's inter-season episode sees us discussing some of the best, most unique and interesting novel to film adaptations. We talk about the origins of this kind of adaptation as well as some of our favourites. Sponsors: Stitcher Premium [https://ww...

Another round of interseason content means another "Sequel We'd Like To See" opener and after a great deal of thought and discussion, we decided to talk about a potential follow-up to the hugely successful 2010 drama The Social Network. Join us as we debate what worked so well with the original and where we'd like to see the story go next. Check out our various rewards and tiers: www.patreon.com/s...

It's time for the finale of season 7. It's time for a terrible sequel to a 90s cult classic. It's time for...MORTAL KOMBAT!

Arriving eight years after Interview With The Vampire with half the budget and no returning cast or crew, Queen Of The Damned is about as distant from its predecessor as it can be. But while its straightforward to dissect this very lacklustre sequel, wading through the immense canon to produce a decent follow-up may be more difficult than it appears.

Grab your claymore and prepare to moon the English, it's time to take a look at the little-known sequel to Braveheart. But after the bloody battles of the 1995 historical epic, why was soup and a sit-down the order of the day for this follow-up?

It's our first foray into bad Netflix sequels with this follow-up to a wuxia classic from the year 2000. It's about time we fix (and translate back into Mandarin) 2016's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.

Not many people are aware that Chinatown has a sequel, and as we find out this week, there's a damn good reason for that. We discuss noir, Los Angeles, the unstoppable force of Jack Nicholson and some truly terrible sex scenes, and attempt to fix a sequel that probably shouldn't exist. Content warning: this episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse from approximately 45:00 to 58:00 Spo...

In this week's episode we travel back to New York in 1990s...or is it feudal Japan? Either way, we're fixing the terrible finale of the TMNT trilogy - 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Turtles In Time.

This week, we tackle a sequel to a horror classic with one of the worst titles known to man, 1978's Damien: Omen 2. Can the Sequelisers fix the problem-filled film or will the curse of The Omen get them in the end?

Slick, smooth and charming, Ocean's Eleven was the rare remake that sparkled even brighter than the original, but then along came 2004's Ocean's Twelve to tarnish that cinematic gem. Can the Sequelisers fix the bloated, sloppy follow-up, or does the house always win?

While many have fond memories for this high-energy madcap series, even loyal fans will admit that the third instalment took a real nose dive in quality. So it's up to us to produce something fittingly whacky but grounded enough to work. Will our mission be a success?

This week's episode has been requested by one of Executive Producer patreon supporters and it's one that has been on our list for a while. The cult classic Westworld was recently revamped as a successful TV series but few people are aware that three years after the science fiction theme park western, Futureworld was released and it was pretty bad. Time to do what we do best. Check out our various...

Sequelisers is back and we're kicking off our seventh season by talking about the franchise that kickstarted the comic book movie golden age, or more specifically it's terrible third instalment.

The BFI LFF ran from 7th-17th October and we were fortunate enough to be awarded press credentials to cover as many films as we could absorb. Individually we wrote reviews and recorded reactionary diary mini-podcasts but this is the first time we sat down to discuss and share our opinions of the festival overall.

With Halloween only a few days away, it seems only fitting to talk about a horror villain that was taken from folklore and has been shambling along for fifty plus years, occasionally stumbling, but still going strong.

The silver screen and the gogglebox have a complicated relationship, but there are plenty of properties that have travelled from one to the other.
