We're saddled and ready to ride as we talk about the 1969 sequel, Guns of the Magnificent Seven. You'll hear what we think of changing the casting of Chris from Yul Brynner to George Kennedy, how the approaching 1970's makes for this movie to take a dark turn towards bleakness, and why the performances of the supporting cast, including and especially Claude Akins. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly…
We may not be gunslinger ready but if you need commentary on a sequel, we can certainly be picked up out of jail to discuss any continuing sagas, like the 1966 sequel, Return of the Seven. You'll hear why this movie ranks at the top of both of our lists, a lot of gushing about the stellar work done by the actors in this film, especially the supporting cast, and quite a few Burt Lancaster and John…
We're saddled up and ready to ride as we rank and declare for The Magnificent Seven Series. You'll hear which movie makes the top of both of our lists and why we think it outpaces the other sequels by some distance, which movie we think may not be perfect but definitely deserves the second spot on both our lists, and which movie hits the bottom of our ranking based both on it's quality and it's…
It's a first for the show as we debate over whether or not the 2019 film, Critters Attack!, is a sequel or a reboot. You'll hear us dispense with that debate quickly, muse over how much South Africa looks nothing like America, and generally how much we keep attacking this movie because it so richly deserves it. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew…
There's no series we feel more responsibility to pitch well for than the Critters series because they took their job so seriously as each new movie onboarded onto the series and you'll have to judge if we've done the movies justice! You'll hear which of us or if both of us pick up right where Critters 4 ends, which of us is going for a Planet of the Apes vibe (that shouldn't be hard), and which of…
We're going to where several sequels have gone before, to outer space to end a series, or end a series for now, as we discuss the 1992 sequel, Critters 4. You'll hear why we know this isn't a good movie but has it's charms and is fun to watch, a blow by blow account of how this movie feeds off of other films and series in unexpected ways, and a discussion about how it's okay to completely change a…
We're hitting the road and heading home so we can head to the microphones to discuss the 1991 sequel, Critters 3. You'll hear how we believe Leonardo DiCaprio to be fully formed as an actor, not to mention this movie being a record of the last time Leo was interested in someone his own age, more conversations about how this film and the series manages to get continuity right while still moving on…
We're hatching our commentary for a new series and are hoping you'll mop up our green ooze of comments for the 1988 sequel, Critters 2: The Main Course. You'll hear what we think of the blending of horror and comedy that we believe makes this film such a fun watch, how much we like the recognizable actors who are giving it their all across the board, and how impressed we are by the way in which…
We're finally able to talk about the Critters now that we've realized that the Ghoulies aren't what we thought they were, so now we're ranking and declaring for the Critters series. You'll hear which movie makes it to the top of both our lists, the movie that sits in the middle for both of us but came closer to the top for one of us and why, and which movie falls to the bottom of lists and whether…
The inkwells are dry because we have two new pitches for the Expendables series as we try to ensure that the series lives on as it should. You'll hear which of us sets their sequel in outer space, which of us creates a prequel, how Kurt Russel gets involved, and why Burt Reynolds and Charles Bronson, among others, creep into a pitch. Thank god for our Time Machine! Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly…
We don't know how to quit when it comes to sequels and on that note, some series don't know when to quit; case in point, the 2023 sequel, Expend4bles. That lack of know how lead to grounding this series to halt. You'll hear a lengthy discussion about how this movie starts by getting the simplest of things completely wrong, the uncanny valley quality of the film due to the terrible use of CGI for…
