The next sequel we are covering is a B action/sci-fi flick that is a blast to watch, Atlantic Rim: Resurrection. For it, I chatted with the Director himself Jared Cohn.

Jared talked about the movie-making process on a tight budget, his transition from actor...

This week we are discussing the sequel that made you fear log trucks, "Final Destination 2". This movie has so much nostalgia for me since it was a movie I remember coming out while in high school.

This week we are talking about the movie I chose for my hall pass, The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift. I chose this because it will have its 9th sequel and we never covered one. This sequel gave us so much to discuss like Han died? Also, if they try and tell you this movie was later in the series, please look at the flip phones in the final race. We also covered Sean's dad a pimp, Sean learn...

This week we are talking about the Danny Trejo and Danny Glover buddy sorta action flick "Badasses on the Bayou".

The next sequel that we are covering is another first watch for me in "Terminator Genisys" and for it chatted with Actor Griff Furst who plays Agent Burke, but the role of an actor is one of many hats he wears. Griff is also a producer who has a brand new film out called "Devil's Peak" starring Billy Bob Thornton, Robin Wright, and Jackie Earle Haley. Griff and I talked abo...

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" and that means we can finally scratch a Star Wars off our list.  This week's interview is with a former rock n roll bass player, Peter Bernstein, who turned in a pretty good composer.  Peter's story always involved a love of music, maybe having a legendary Emmy award-winning Composer in the house.  No matter what, Pet...
