The Franchise

We close out the Spider-Man franchise in grand style, with two first-time watches for Henry and one critical reevaluation from Daniel. Franchise road show this week, too! Regardless, patreon.com/thefranchise

Jamie Foxx takes a big swing and Spider-Man is finally folded into his wider comic book universe, with a new cast and a familiar aesthetic. patreon.com/thefranchise

It's Maguire vs. Garfield in a battle of the baby heads, innit? patreon.com/thefranchise plz

Raimi. Tobey. Dunst. I don't even need to hype this episode. Know why? Cuz YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE. patreon.com/thefranchise if you're nasty.

Refn pops in for one more character piece, before we get a remake that nobody asked for.

Nicolas Winding Refn. Mads Mikkelsen. Henry imposes his Danish ways upon us this week.

The wait is ogre. A full Shrek ranking is here, including extensive discussion of the franchise's lone spin-off and Broadway extension.

Resident Shrekspert Shut Up Tim Ahlin joins us to discuss his favorite topic, Green characters. Everyone stays in good spirits throughout. Timberlake and Monty Python get gleefully torn down.

SoooooooooooooooooooomeBODY, etc.

Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg pretend hate crimes are genetic. (Excuse the occasional static--you don't want to hear it and I don't want to hear about it).

The Hangover guys wrote some stuff for Martha Stewart and Kenny G cuz Tyson worked out so well, and then we deck the halls with boughs of....funny????

Daniel gives a history lesson about the birth of Jesus. Then, halfway through, he has a conniption fit about his mic (he tried to cut around this) so he's a bit ornery in the second half for no reason. Henry is a perfect delight, as always. And the current state of Chevy Chase saddens him greatly.

Lots of discussion of Chevy Chase's eyeballs. Some discussion of the 1998 Kids Choice Awards. Happy holiday(s)!

We begin a month of franchises with Christmas sequels with 2 family vacations with the Griswolds (er, Griswalds?). Buckle in and try to ignore that one sound.

A divergence of opinions emerges this week as the boys pore over 2 more Rob Zombie movies and raise a toast to DDP.

It's the house of one thousand corpses, you dumb piles of dog shit!

We must forge ahead on Eddie Murphy franchises, as there are many to get through. We discuss our weird relationships with Walter Hill, plus attempt Nick Nolte impressions and welcome back to the show our old friend the Wishmaster.

Hey, did you know that there's a new American Pie movie on Netflix? Well, there is. And we discussed it for about an hour.

We rank the films of Sam Raimi, while the D-Chain gets annoyed by another horror remake and Henry the Red gets excited about the third US President in Franchise history.

It's almost an achievement that it's taken us so long not to do this one, but here we are. Ashy Slashy begins.

We wrap up the Conjuring Universe and, indeed, the spookiest, slimiest month of the year with some very important discussion about dating apps.

More Farmiga Fun this week as we forge ahead into the downright spookiest month of the year.

Daniel and Henry welcome back Jason Anthony Harris and his Public Speaking moniker for another round of thrills, chills and even spills. We continue to question and query the Warrens and discuss the unfortunate musical blunders of the Conjuring sequel. Long episode, gang. Strap in.

It's the spookiest month of the year, so we conjured up a real treat for you guys. That's right! We talked about Patrick Wilson for over an hour! Aren't your mouths just watering to hear that?!

We ask the questions that matter, like what does the title Crossing Jordan mean anyway? And what's the day-to-day of a robot cop's life?
