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.

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.

We're self-abusing professionals and decided to finish what we started two years ago by ranking and declaring for the second half of the 2009 single sequels. You'll hear why one of us got the top of our list correct while the other went rogue for reasons of his own, how different the middle of our lists are and by that we mean completely different, and how one of these movies ensured that the bott...

We have a job for you, more like an interesting errand and that's to listen to our ranking and declaring episode for the Hannibal Lecter series.
