Episodes

Mission: Impossible - Fallout 25.08.2025

The series isn't quite running out of steam yet and neither are we as we talk about the 2018 sequel Mission: Impossible - Fallout. You'll hear what our true feelings are about what we call the Blitzer maneuver, a minor disagreement about exactly how much practical shooting was done for the halo jump stunt and all our thoughts about the final helicopter chase scene that seems determined to go above...

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation 18.08.2025

We didn't get tickets to the opera but you have a free admission to our thoughts on the 2015 sequel Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. You'll hear our thoughts on the stunt-centric opening of the film, what we think of the introduction of the syndicate plot line and it's villain that takes center stage in this movie and the myriad of compliments Tom has when his home of Country is featured in the...

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 11.08.2025

We've lit the fuse and it's leading straight to our hearts because we love the not at all 2001, but the definitely 2011 sequel Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Listen and you'll hear all the reasons this movie made the top of both of our lists, the pros and cons of having a not very notable villain and how much that matters and what we think about this film being able to finally find the form...

Mission: Impossible III 04.08.2025

It's red letter day here at The Everything Sequel Podcast because we get to talk about the feature film directorial debut of J.J. Abrams as we discuss Mission: Impossible III. You'll hear what we think of J.J. Abrams debut mystery box that doesn't get solved until the final film in the series by another director, the pros and cons of giving a talented actor like Philip Seymour Hoffman a juicy, vil...

Mission: Impossible II 28.07.2025

The dingo hasn't eaten our baby but it's possible it ate the script of Mission: Impossible II, forcing this 2000 sequel to fly by the seat of its pants during filming. That can be the only explanation for the insanity that is this film. Listen and you'll hear all the many reasons why we put this film at the bottom of our lists, the pros and cons of Tom Cruise enlisting auteur director John Woo to...

Mission: Impossible Series Ranking Episode 21.07.2025

There are very few series we've done here at The Everything Sequel Podcast that span as long as the Mission: Impossible series and we have a lot to sort out as we rank and declare. You'll hear which movie ranked at the top of both of our lists, the movie we definitely believe belongs at the bottom of both of our lists and you'll find out where Tom can manage to rank a J.J. Abrams directed film. En...

Ghoulies Series Pitch a Sequel 07.07.2025

Mike's pencil is sharpened and Tom's memory is ready because it's time to pitch sequels to the Ghoulies series! You'll hear which of us was so excited by the prospect of more Ghoulie movie that he created two pitches, which of us decided to follow the model of a 1943 original film starring a famous animal, which of us drew inspiration from Scream 3 but should of drawn inspiration from Wes Craven's...

Ghoulies IV 30.06.2025

We may be sleeping in our cars but we've got our thoughts locked and loaded in case we wake up because we watched the 1994 sequel Ghoulies IV! You'll hear exactly how many porn movies Mr. Wynorski may or may not have directed as well as some of their glorious titles, what we think of both the positive and negative representations for women in this film and questions about how you summon a Faust an...

Ghoulies (III?): Ghoulies Go to College 23.06.2025

We've got our beers and have planned our yanks, which are our cranks, which, of course, are our pranks as seen in the 1991 sequel, Ghoulies Go to College! Actually, it may be Ghoulies III or could even be Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College; we're not sure but the important thing is we're bringing it to you. You'll hear how impressed we are with the number of knowable cast members, an immediate d...

Ghoulies II 16.06.2025

We're climbing out of the toilet and into satan's den because we watched the 1988 sequel, Ghoulies II! You'll hear why this movie made the top of both our lists (at least until one of us changed our minds later), how we settle the confusion over baby ghoulie and whether or not he's also bat ghoulie and we delve into a not so deep conversation about why baby ghuolie is the chosen big ghoulie they m...

Ghoulies II Ranking 09.06.2025

Our next series titular characters may live in the toilet but that's not necessarily where we think the movies belong as we rank and declare for the Ghoulies series! You'll find out which movie ranks at the top of both our lists, which movie sits in the middle of both our lists and the degree to which we both feel the movie at the bottom of our lists belongs there. Have fun! We sure did. Thanks to...

The Dollars Trilogy Pitch a Sequel 26.05.2025

It's implied in our mandate that we must pitch sequels, even if the two sequels from the Dollars trilogy are nearly perfect and end the series just as you'd want it to end. So that's what we've done. You'll hear which of us was afraid to pitch a sequel for fear it will most likely suck, whether or not we approve of each other's titles and how we devolve into impersonation of Charles Bronson by the...

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 19.05.2025

We're not sure which of us is bad and which of us is ugly, but we know neither of us can claim to be as good as the 1967ish sequel The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. On this episode you'll hear Tom succinctly explain why each added scene to the version we watched of this classic is a terrible waste of time, several tangents that by this point should really be expected by now and a chat about the Mexi...

For a Few Dollars More 12.05.2025

No deposit necessary for our latest episode because our talk about the 1967(?) sequel For a Few Dollars More is free! You'll hear your hosts fall into a tangent in mere minutes, forgetting what they were talking about in the first place, some quality gushing over the two stars of this film and the choices they make as actors and several examples of quality film making we think should be taught to...

The Dollars Trilogy Ranking 05.05.2025

It's hard to figure out who wronged who in our last series but that means one of your hosts must track down and serve justice against the other as we try to rank the Dollars trilogy sequels! You'll hear how we completely agree about everything that can be said about these two movies except for which one should be at the top, how and why this series compares easily to the Pink Panther series and mu...

Beverly Hills Cop Pitch a Sequel 21.04.2025

The series may have waited thirty years to complete the trilogy of sequels but we've decided to carry on and add another for the Beverly Hills Cop series because it's time for us to pitch a sequel! You'll hear which of us is brave enough to continue on from Axel F, which of us creates an interquel that is probably best suited to be the original sequel and first time surprise for our titles. Enjoy!...

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F 14.04.2025

Mike and Tom are code switching to lawyers as we battle against each other discussing the 2024 stream, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. You'll hear Tom's surprise that Mike thinks the Red Wings are important to Detroit, the pros and cons of including JGL in your movie sequel and the SNL alum we think just about steals the movie in one scene.  Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Dani...

Beverly Hills Cop III 07.04.2025

We're ready to dance to Motown music as we discuss the promotional movie for a nonexistent theme park, Beverly Hills Cop III. You'll hear if Mike can come close to convincing Tom that this movie is as bad as he thinks it is, whether or not Tom needs any convincing that this film is terrible and if Mike can build up enough "here's why the movie is bad" points before we tackle another sequel that To...

Beverly Hills Cop II 31.03.2025

We're pulling out the big guns just like Rosewood as we discuss the 1987 sequel Beverly Hills Cop II! You'll hear why we think this is the best sequel in the series, why we think the director Tony Scott is best kept in a cage like this film and musings about all the guest star comedians that Eddie Murphy decided to put into this movie. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Danie...

Beverly Hills Cop Ranking 24.03.2025

We're donning our best suits as we work undercover as podcast hosts that know what they're doing while we rank and declare for the Beverly Hills Cop Series! You'll hear which of these sequels was unquestionably the pick to top both of our lists, the birth of a new phrase to describe the kind of movies Tom hates the most and a fundamental disagreement about which movie should be at the bottom of ou...

The Pink Panther Series (Back Half) Pitch a Sequel 10.03.2025

In what doctors would call a delusional fit we try to convince you that the Pink Panther series needs at least one more sequel. That's right, it's pitch a sequel time! You'll hear whether or not we like anything to do with the titles we've selected for our pitches, which of us is crazy enough to include Clifton Sleigh, the character from Curse of the Pink Panther and which character we both feel m...

Son of the Pink Panther 03.03.2025

Watching this movie doesn't make you stand up and say, "Ah, that felt good" and yet, somehow, it is near the top of both our lists. As you listen to find out why, you'll hear how much we think the central performance works and does not work, the stand out moments we see from director Blake Edwards and many trips down many lanes that having nothing to do with this film. Thanks to our monthly suppor...

Curse of the Pink Panther 24.02.2025

We're off Trail of the Pink Panther and traveling down a long and weary road as we chat about Curse of the Pink Panther. That's awkwardly worded but so are all the titles in the back half of this series because they refuse to use the word the. You'll hear many digressions discussing the criminal length of this sequel, how clearly we communicate what we think of the Clouseau surrogate starring in t...

Trail of the Pink Panther 17.02.2025

We're creating an entirely new episode to cover a movie that hasn't bothered to create much of anything new within its running time. So much so, we make sure to keep saying that this movie can't even be called a movie. You'll hear why we think this so-called movie is really two so-called movies, our thoughts on the Peter Sellers cut scenes from previous movies and the out of nowhere new story that...

Revenge of the Pink Panther 10.02.2025

We're back to one of films early franchise and talking the back half of the Pink Panther series. First up, the 1979 sequel Revenge of the Pink Panther. You'll hear why this movie tops both of our ranking lists, a conversation about how smart it is to bring Cato into the fold of the movie beyond just apartment attacks and the myriad of parallels between this movie and one of the lesser fare from Bo...
