Fire up the jukebox and unshuffle your Spotify queue, we're discussing the fine art of needle drops in movies, from how filmmakers deploy pre-existing songs in different ways to the risks of using popular music to try to dictate the mood of your movie.

Thanks to our wonderful VIP Hyperdudeman, we're talking all about recasting roles this week. It's a topic we've experienced a lot as Sequelisers as we've recast many characters over the years and it has a fascinating history in Hollywood and beyond.

Here in the real world our leaders let us down all the time. In politics, sports, work-life. But film offers us a cleaner narrative and a host of leaders to aspire to, or outright avoid. So we're once again leading the way to talk about cinema's relationship with and creation of fictional leaders.

The inter-season... shit; we're still only in the inter-season... In this VIP-selected episode, we're taking a look at the Vietnam War, asking why this conflict produced some of the greatest films of all time, and examining the shadow it has cast over every war film since.

It's about time we buy a caravan, grab a shooter and tackle another sequel we'd like to see. This time, it's 2000's Snatch! So, each Sequeliser will take it in turn to pitch a potential sequel to the cockney classic. To say these pitches are quite different is an understatement!

Having covered the depths of the Universal Horror films - both the successes and the abortive failures - we've taken the time to draw up our own fix. Prepare yourselves for six standalone features (two drafted by each Sequeliser) and one crossover event that we write live on the show. It's unique, unorthodox, and a spooktacular listen.

Thanks to our Patreon supporters, we're kicking off the inter-season with a two-part special on the Universal Monsters and the Dark Universe that never was. In this part, we take a look at the history of these iconic characters, and pick apart the previous attempts the studio has made to bring them into one cinematic universe.

It's the season finale of Requelisers so we're going BIG. We're fixing 1976's remake of the 1933 classic King Kong. Yes, it's the one with Jeff Bridges & Jessica Lange. Yes, it's uncomfortably horny. Oh, and it's Jack's first finale and...well...he's done a thing.

Like all remakes, Pet Sematary was taken to the old burial ground and resurrected.. but it came back.. different. This week we look at the differences between the two and try to cobble together our own version.

We come to you now with a crucial message for all humankind, one that will echo down through the ages with three iconic words: THIS REMAKE SUCKS This week, we're taking a look at the 1951 classic The Day The Earth Stood Still and the nanomachine-infested remake from 2008. Can Matt do any better with his final remake of the season, and will humanity survive once they've heard his pitch? Website: ww...

Oompa loompa doompety doo, we've got a rubbish remake for you. Oompa loompa doompety dee, it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. What do you get when Tim Burton remakes? Johnny Depp plus Michael Jackson deep fake. What is he at when he's talking like that? Why's he such an annoying twat? We can't stand this crap remake.

When we talk about epic cinema, it doesn't get more epic than Ben-Hur. So who in their right mind would try and top it? Well in 2016 that's exactly what MGM decided to do. Suffice it to say, that didn't work. So we thought we'd take a stab at it. And.. you honestly have no idea where we've taken the Ben-Hur tale.

Fasten your seatbelt and rev up your engine, we're taking a trip back to the 60s to take a look at The Love Bug, and then to the 90s for it's strange straight-to-TV remake/reboot/sequel. If Bruce Campbell isn't enough to save your film, what will the Requelisers do to get this clunker across the finish line?

Get your Illusion-O glasses ready and venture into a glass case of spectral emotions as we fix 2001's Thir13en Ghosts (yes, that is how they spelt it because it was the 2000s). When the best part of the film is the DVD extras, you know it needs Requelising!

Do you like Clash Of The Titans? Like, really like it? Yeah, we're not so sure anyone does. Whether it's the 1981 original or the 2010 remake, they're both odd relics that take a pretty solid premise and fumble it in multiple ways. But don't worry, we're here to give it a fresh coat of paint with an upgraded remake. So fetch your clockwork owl, tame a flying horse and prepare to...RELEASE THE KRAK...

Hop aboard the downtown express as we take a trip back to 1974 to an underseen classic, and then on to 2009 for a mediocre remake marred by John Travolta and his insistence on saying "bumhole". Let's see if we can do any better...

Your time will come...and that time is now! You've probably seen the memes but not the full film because we are finally talking about the wonderfully terrible The Wicker Man remake starring the one & only Nicolas Cage!

Wolverines! That's right, when Russia, or China.. or, I mean, North Korea plan on taking over the world, it's up to a handful of plucky school kids with the gumption to stand up and fight back. Well, similarly, when studios propose terrible remakes of (admittedly questionable) movies, it's up to us to do the same!

Put on your biggest jewels and practice your French accent, as this week we're taking a look at 1963's The Pink Panther, and the terrible 2006 remake.  We explore the original series, discuss the weird cartoon legacy of the films, and suffer through Steve Martin's awful attempt to reboot the franchise. Plus, can we do any better when it comes to remaking the original? Website: www.sequelisers.com/...

It's for us to return to Raccoon City and fix the latest cinematic outing for the Resident Evil franchise. Yes, we forced Tim to watch another Resident Evil film. Yes, he hated almost every second of it.

Only two episodes in and we're already going on an Inception style deep dive, as we cover 2016's The Magnificent Seven: a remake of a remake. So get your guns, saddle up and come with us as we protect a town, or get revenge.. it's not entirely clear.

Season 12 is here, and it's Requelisers time, as we take a look at some of the dreadful remakes that cinema has produced over the years and try to do better. For our first episode, we're tackling a sci-fi classic and a remake that removed any personality it had - Total Recall.

It's the final episode before season 12 starts next week! And it's about f***ing time you beautiful b******s got this episode, right?! And this one's not s****y either, it's a full-on g*d d**n inter-season episode! So how does movie classification work? And when did the first guidelines for movie censorship come along? All these questions and more will be answered in this week's episode! Our hiat...

Originally published as a Patreon-exclusive episode on We talk about a lot of films on this podcast. But we don't often cover films within films. We don't mean those times when movies have appeared in other features, we mean those clips, behind-the-scenes moments, posters and trailers for fake movies that the studio had to go out of their way to make as part of an entirely separate movie.
