S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0700

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. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale. You'll hear a tangent heavy episode as we are almost always talking about anything other than S. Darko, several questions about why they didn't try to make a movie about the other sister from the original film and how that could have helped this film, and several misunderstandings about how this movie connects to the original Donnie Darko aided by Tom's recent viewing of that movie. Enjoy!

Messengers 2: The Scarecrow

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0700

We're tilling the fertile soil of conversation for yet another 2009 sequel as we talk about Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. You'll hear us ponder about what The Messengers must have been about, which you can now listen to on our Patreon to find out what we learned, the back and forth we both had about whether or not the ghosts of this movie are ghosts, and a general admiration we have for the solid effort this movie attempts to make towards making an actual movie.

The Cell 2

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0700

We have the electrodes attached to our heads to enter the mind of whoever dreamed up the weirdo sequel, The Cell 2, from 2009. You'll hear how we have the exact opposite reaction to almost every single scene despite agreeing completely on how ineptly all scenes are written, acted, and directed, a conversation about what to call the room that services as the titular cell in this movie, and a chat about the lengthy credits for this sequel that leave no doubt as to what you just watched.

Vacancy 2: The First Cut

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0700

We've made our reservations and packed our bags because it's time to talk about Vacancy 2: The First Cut. We're not exactly of like mines about this first film in the second half of the 2009 sequels. You'll hear what we think of the fake out first twenty minutes of this movie, several different diatribes about the film's characters failing to do the most basic things to ensure their villainous plan works, and how the film's heroes seem equally ill-equipped to perform their escape from death. Enjoy!

The 2009 Single Sequels Ranking Part 2

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:47:21 -0700

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 bottom of our list could have no variations whatsoever. That movie is like the game limbo and asks itself, "How low can I go?"

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0800

Nobody can possibly imagine this series going on after we saw Hannibal rise but that's exactly what we're doing because it's time to pitch sequels to the Hannibal series! You'll hear which of us is going the Godfather II route, which of us went the bring back the cast no matter how old they are route, and whether or not we like and our can remember each other's titles.

Hannibal Rising

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0800

We've donned our culturally inappropriate samurai gear to do battle with the 2007 sequel, Hannibal Rising. You'll hear how quickly we think this movie goes off the rails as it starts to build sympathy for the serial killing character we know as Hannibal Lecter, so many tangents about a myriad of things that have nothing to do with this sequel, and a disagreement about what we should be talking about at the end of this film as one of us has clearly given up wanting to talk about this sloppy mess of a movie.

Hannibal

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0800

We've contacted the smell police because we're on the case of trying to figure out the 2001 sequel, Hannibal. You'll hear the unkind things we have to say about the pigeon forward opening credits, how much we labor to get through most of this movie because the movie itself labors so much and for so long, and how much we enjoy the end of this movie because it finally gets good the second we expose Ray Liotta's brain, which is when the movie abruptly ends.

It's time for some quid pro quo, we tell you things about The Silence of the Lambs, you tell us things about what we think of The Silence of the Lambs. Most people don't realize this film is actually a sequel but we do this professionally so you'll hear what we think this 1991 sequel has to say about gender, a back and forth about the performance of Anthony Hopkins and what in that performance is working for and against the film, and discussions about the direction and editing choices that sets this movie apart from most other sequels.

We drank enough coffee to stay awake just long enough to finish up with our 2025 year and round of legacy sequels with The Naked Gun. You'll hear which actor we think gets the comedy almost completely wrong as well as which actor is getting the comedy so right we wish everyone was on that page, our chat about the villain and whether or not he's failing the movie or the movie is failing him, and we try to mention all the jokes, here and there, that we think actually work.

We continue catching up with the legacy sequels from 2025 and are donning our hot slickers and hats to chat about I Know What You Did Last Summer. You'll hear what we think of the lead actors and characters and why they work for this film, why we think bringing back legacy actors from the original '97 hit was a good idea including the surprise ending that we both liked and how we believe that even when this movie is clumsy, it's not in a way to bother you too much, helping the movie to be an easy watch.

We continue catching up with the legacy sequels of 2025 as we slice first and slice hard talking about Karate Kid: Legends. You'll hear the many questions we have about the opening of this film and if Mr. Han is, in fact, the legend Mr. Han we knew from 2010, the positive and negative reactions we had to this movie's time efficiency which oddly helps and hinders the picture and a chat about whether or not the movie got better right before the credits start when we finally see a character that made previous attempts to reengage with this franchise work.

Hollywood isn't finished with four different series that we've previously covered and our professionalism dictates it's time to take catch up and take care of some business. We start with the first movie released this year and possibly the number one of these films in our hearts with Final Destination: Bloodlines, released just this past May. You'll hear a lengthy conversation about this sequel's opening scene that we simply can't find a way to shut up about, how much respect we heap on the directors and Tony Todd for finding a way to give the veteran actor the perfect sendoff for the series and his life and how much glee we find in the movies refusal to let a single character off the hook from death's steely glare.

It's time to settle the score and pitch some sequels to the cult classic series, A Nightmare on Elm Street!

Freddy vs. Jason (Again)

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0800

It won't be a giant battle to the death for your fearless podcast hosts as we agree quite a bit on what works about the 2003 sequel, Freddy vs. Jason. You'll hear all our thoughts for a second year in a row for this film but only from the Freddy point of view including the inciting incident that starts this movie, almost nothing about the cornfield attack because that mostly involves the other fella and if we like that Freddy's back to his old, jokey self in the final battle for what proved to almost be the last movie in the nightmare series.

We're bursting out of our closets to tell you what we think of the 1994 sequel, Wes Craven's New Nightmare. You'll hear all our thoughts on the new look of Freddy and how effective the look is at being scary, what the crew and what we think about Wes Craven's ability to write things that come true and benefit the film and the problems we have with the movie's ending, which keep this from being a truly great addition to the series.

You'll hear what we like about the opening scene, a disagreement about how the looney tunes nature of this film hits each of us as we watch and our thoughts about the ever changing history of Freddy Krueger and whether now was the time to do these changes.

We don't need a dog to piss fire on us to wake up to the idea that the 1988 sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master is a good movie, although we may disagree about exactly how good a movie it actually is. You'll hear a disagreement about how and when the cast from the previous film should meet their demise, a discussion if the overall look of the film is more cinematic or made for television and absolutely no disagreement about some of the films set pieces including a time loop dream and the practical effects of trapped souls escaping Freddy's body.

Fans won't think we need therapy at the local asylum because we don't have lots of problems with the 1987 sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. You'll hear how much we like the rising production level for this film and what they choose to do with it, like giant Freddy worms, what we think of the blend of comedy and terror with maybe the series most famous line and kill and a conversation about brining the demise of Freddy into the world of religion.

You'll hear Tom repeatedly bring up good points about this film and how quickly Mike brushes them aside nonchalantly in response, questions as to whether or not the s & m bar scene and the coach death scene is real or strictly in a dream and several digressions about birds exploding and the value they hold in a major motion picture.

We're diving deep just like Ethan Hunt as we talk about the 2025 sequel Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. It's a race to see if we can keep this episode under the running time of this movie as we talk about the cold open, which we can't even finish before taking a break, a chat about the underwater submarine sequence which is one of our favorite sequences in the entire series and the highs and lows of cross cutting between the thrilling biplane stunt and whatever else is going on to wrap up this possibly and hopefully final film in the series.

You'll hear whether or not Mike can convince Tom that this movie isn't as bad as Tom thinks it is, whether Tom can convince Mike that it's exactly as bad as he thinks it is and, at the very least, an agreement over the several retcons this sequel concocts for all of it's characters.

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 and beyond in what easily could have been the last movie in the series.

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 climax of this installment of the impossible series.

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 helm this project and what we think about the heavy mask work this movie has an addiction to.

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 New Nightmare and one sequel pitch that was the obvious choice for any movie series heading into a fifth film.

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 and how that accidentally brings the completely non-essential titular ghoulies into your story.

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 digression into the world of copyright law and Pat Riley for some reason and questions about who becomes or if anyone becomes a giant ghoulie that must be destroyed by the end of this film.

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 must banish back to hell or at least into a really big hole.

The Dollars Trilogy Pitch a Sequel

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 26 May 2025 08:00:00 -0700

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 end of the episode.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 19 May 2025 08:00:00 -0700

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 Mexican standoff of all standoffs that provides a picture perfect example of film direction in the last of the Dollars trilogy. Enjoy!

The Dollars Trilogy Ranking

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 05 May 2025 08:00:00 -0700

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 multiple Clint Eastwood impersonations that can be considered to be good, bad or ugly.

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.

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 Tom hates next week.

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:00:00 -0700

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 must be included in our stories.

Son of the Pink Panther

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:00:00 -0800

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.

Curse of the Pink Panther

Michael Shantz & Tom Steward — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:00:00 -0800

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 this film in the form of many jokes and abuse and what we think of the other Clouseau surrogate that we love. Confusing? Try having to watch this thing.

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 consists of a news reporter looking for our main character, who could never show up because the actor playing him was dead.

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 Bond films, Diamonds are Forever.

You might not expect the likes of Rob Zombie's Halloween II making our top lists but you still may be surprised what we considered to be the best sequels we watched in the last year. You'll hear a question from Mike about including the Karate Kid from 2010 as a movie in contention for our lists that quickly turns into a rhetorical question that needed not be asked, whether or not we can surprise each other by what ends up on our lists and the one movie that ranks at the top for both of your fearless podcast hosts.

You'll hear how each of us came to know this was a direct to video film, the uncanny valley qualities of the movie as so many of the characters aren't acting like people that you would actually know or understand and why we think a racist secondary character is who this movie is actually about.
