The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

We have made it to episode 100, so to celebrate, we had to cover the last film in one of the greatest franchises ever made, Back to the Future, and boy this movie has some problems.  We invited a brand new guest in Tom (the biggest BTTF fan that Doug knows) to help discuss all the good and bad.  Like the incest, the many time-traveling issues, the lack of women in 1885 Hill Valley, is Do...

This is Episode 99 and I interviewed someone involved in a trilogy that involves going 88 MPH... Of course, I am talking about Back to the Future and this week's guest is Actor Jeffrey Weissman who played George McFly in Parts 2 and 3, and the story how he got the role is pretty wild.  Jeffrey also talked about how a tv show being shot in his neighbor really got him hooked on the idea of bein...

This week we reviewed another 20-year in the making sequel in Master P's "I Got The Hookup 2".  Master P and Anthony Johnson are back as Black and Blue, their chemistry is so good and the premise of the film was very clever. Of course, we discussed Doug's love for Spyda, all the Friday actors in this movie, the many different plots, Big Shawn who is a 10-year-old with a shotgun, and who possi...

This week's interview is such an amazing one, Tanjareen is such an inspirational, hardworking, and hilarious person.  Tanjareen and I talked about how she knew what she wanted to do at the age of 6 after playing a gingerbread man in a play.   We, of course, talked working with JB Smoove and Larry David on Curb your Enthusiasm, Family Time on Bounce TV, Famous in Love, Zane’s the Jum...

This we tackled a sequel that was 20 years in the making, ignoring the other two sequels that were made in the meantime, and that movie is Return to Sleepaway Camp. We had to bring in a Sleepaway Camp expert for his 3rd review with us, Chris Egan.  Chris helps us understand that Return to Sleepaway Camp is pretty much the same film as the original.  Of course, we talked about Alan's dirt...

This Bonus interview is so epic because I interviewed my first rock star, Jeffrey Bryan. Jeffrey grew up in LA and at a really young age, he was playing all the classic LA music venues. He talked about how he came to play the "Merv Griffin Show" at the age of 15, playing in different bands, composing music for tv/movies, and then joining the mega rock band "Survivor" (Eye of the Tiger, Moment of T...

This week's guest in Hollywood Make-up Artist Mike Marino.  Mike is a tri-state area guy who was inspired at a young age from his fear of the movie "The Elephant Man" which led him to be fascinated by the make-up effects.  We talked about how he got started practicing on a classmate in high school, how legendary makeup artist Dick Smith used to help him over the phone, working on Saturda...

This week's sequel has us traveling to a dystopian future where a young Mel Gibson (Mad Max) will do just about anything for gasoline. This movie has an all-star cast with Mel Gibson and Vernon Wells.  We, of course, talked about Jason Voorhees sorry I mean Lord Humongous, Feral Kid (What the hell was he), us both falling head over heels for Warrior Woman, how insane Vernon Wells is in this movie,...

When it comes to movies you aren't supposed to be rooting for the bad guy, but how could I not root for this week's guest Vernon Wells?  Vernon played legendary bad guys in Mad Max 2 as Wez and in Commando as Bennett. Of course, we talked Weird Science, Arnold Schwarzenegger, his start in acting, his love for being behind the camera, and so much more.  This was my first video interview a...

Who didn't grow up watching TV Land or Nick at Nite watching the classics like I Love Lucy, Bewitched, and of course My Three Sons.  Well, this week's bonus interview is with none other than Chip Douglas himself, Mr. Stanley Livingston.  Stanley grew up on TV and it was great to pick his brain about that. He also talked about how he was discovered, impressing Jackie Cooper, Jim Carrey's...

So the last few movies had some pretty high body counts (Samurai Cop 2, Sudden Impact, and Death Wish 3), so it's only fitting our next sequel is one where a dead body is the star (cough Bernie Lomax cough).  Weekend at Bernie's 2 has so much going on that we brought back Gina (Karate Kid Part III guest) to help us sort it all out. Of course, we talked voodoo, a few plot holes(maybe more), La...

This week's interview is such a special one for me, because "Weekend at Bernies 1 and 2" were ones I watched over and over as a kid and I was in LOVE with Troy Byer.  I never realized the amazing things she did behind the camera like write "BAPS", write/direct "Love Don't Cost a Thing", and so much more.  I short-changed her on the episode title because I didn't want it to be too long, b...

This week’s bonus interview is a great one.  I was lucky enough to chat with Adult Film Star Britney Amber about everything from the horror movies we watched at a young age to what helped her become one of the best in her industry.  Of course, we talked about her mainstream roles in “Girls, Guns, and Blood” a grindhouse-type movie that is FREE on Amazon Prim,e and her upcoming role in an Eric Robe...

Is there any aging action star that can possibly top Clint Eastwood's role of "Harry Callahan"? Charles Bronson playing Paul Kersey in Death Wish 3 of course.   The kill count in this movie blows away the 1st two films added together and multiplied by 2.  So for a body count like that, we had to have a guest help sort em' and  Andrew Powers did just that and more. Andrew showed...

This week’s bonus interview is with actress, model, and improvisor Anna Cameron.  Anna talked to me about growing up in Maryland(with a little stint in England), what she did before pursuing acting, having her eyeballs created for a never used prop, working on amazing shows like The Following, House of Cards, and so much more.  Anna was amazing to talk to and I know you will love her. &n...

This is episode 85 and it's only fitting that we are interviewing someone from the 1985 classic "Death Wish 3" and that someone is actor Kirk Taylor.  Kirk played such an important role and his showdown with Charles Bronson was a turning point in the film. Kirk talked about growing up in Connecticut, convincing Francis Ford Coppola to use an idea he had, Charles Bronson, Stanley Kubrick/Full...

This week is the 1st time we dip our toes into the "Dirty Harry" Franchise and it did not disappoint.  Believe it or not, Jamie has never seen one a Dirty Harry film and after this, he will be watching them all.  We discussed Harry being so angry, gunshots to the balls, Meathead the dog, the beer sponsors, the lack of extras, and so much more.  Review, rate, and share us.  Foll...

So a few weeks back a listener named Damon Henderson, who has a Top 10 podcast called "Simply Da Best", asked Jamie and me to do a Top 10 Best Sequels, so we did!   Tell us what you think and follow us on all social media @sequelsonly Our website is sequelsonly.com Thursday we are reviewing the Dirty Harry sequel "Sudden Impact".  So watch it!

This week I interviewed the Actress Lisa London and she was so awesome.  Lisa talked about being exposed to the entertainment industry from her dad at a young age(he worked in radio).  She told me about the amazing story about she got her role in the cult film H.O.T.S. , working with Clint Eastwood on Sudden Impact, being in the 80s group "The Pinups , and all the movies she has coming o...

This week's bonus interview is with yet another amazing actress who is the new reigning "most interesting person" that I have interviewed and that is Suze Lanier-Bramlett. Suze talked about growing up in Dallas, Texas, being friends with Morgan Fairchild, The Hills Have Eyes, her music career, photography, and so much more.  She was an absolute blast to talk with and I know you will love her....

This week we have struck B movie gold with Samurai Cop 2.  The first movie is so bad it's good, so the second one had a difficult task in trying to recreate that magic.  So, of course, we discussed the pornstar actresses, Martin Sheen's brother, Frank's amazing line delivery, Laurene Landon's sword fighting, Tommy Wiseau, and that is only a little bit of what we covered.  This movie...

Who doesn't love the summer camp comedy "Meatballs"?  It has a young Bill Murray and it has this week's guest the amazing Kristine Debell.  Kristine talked about growing up in New York State, starting in theater at a young age, working with Jackie Chan, and so much more.  You are going to love her.  Follow her on Instagram and twitter @kristinedebell Follow us @sequelsonly and...

How do you follow up the 1986 Sci-Fi/Horror classic starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis? Two words Eric Stoltz.  This week we invite back Chris Egan to discuss The Fly II.  We talk about the Geena Davis not so look-alike, fly fishing in the office, a scene that made us cry, the fly creature itself, and so much more.  Subscribe, review, rate, and share us! The next film we are cov...

The next film we are discussing is "The Fly II", so we were lucky enough to interview actor Jerry Wasserman who was in it.  Jerry had a small, but important part in the film(he gets his hand bit off by a mutated dog).  He also talked about he started his career because of a girl and over 30 plus years later he has compiled almost 200 credits.  Jerry's credits include TV series like...

The last episode we interviewed the amazing Robert Hays and here is a chat with another actor who was in Airplane II: The Sequel and that is Ricky Powell.  Ricky's role was "Young Man", but it was a fun running bit with the girl who is pretending she has never been with a man in order to be with every man on board including a donkey.  Ricky talked about being on Bewitched, being in the 1...
