St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold
2026/04/20
We're uniting in an act of girl power because we learned all the wrong lessons from our latest sequel, St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. You'll hear too many, but absolutely necessary explanations about quintessential British humor from resident Brit, Tom Steward, just so you can keep up with why this movie makes the choices that it does, several digressions that keep us from having to do the hard chore of talking about this film, and a brief conversation about how intimacy coordinators work. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale
2026/04/13
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! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
2026/04/06
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. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
The Cell 2
2026/03/30
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. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Vacancy 2: The First Cut
2026/03/23
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! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
The 2009 Single Sequels Ranking Part 2
2026/03/16
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?" Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Hannibal Series Pitch a Sequel
2026/03/02
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. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Hannibal Rising
2026/02/23
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. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Hannibal
2026/02/16
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. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
The Silence of the Lambs
2026/02/09
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. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Hannibal Series Ranking
2026/02/02
We have a job for you, more like an interesting errand and that's to listen to our ranking and declaring episode for the Hannibal Lecter series. Nothing you hear should surprise you including which movie tops our ranking, which movie we both feel belongs nowhere but at the bottom of our lists and we'll chat about the weirdo movie in the middle that we thought we'd hate but somehow has it's pleasantries which surprised us both. Slice off a piece of Ray Liotta's brain and grab a chianti and join in on the fun! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
The Naked Gun (A Patreon Gift)
2026/01/26
Can we borrow $20 bucks to talk about how much we love The Naked Gun from 1988? Nevermind, we're in a giving mood still and decided to throw you one more gift from our Patreon. You'll hear why we like the casting and performance of Priscilla Presley, how the movie is still funny enough to make you enjoy an acting job from O.J. Simpson, no easy feat, and we won't rest until you understand just how funny this film, now let's go get a bite to eat. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
Airplane! (A Patreon Gift)
2026/01/19
We've decided to start off the year lazy and therefore are giving you a gift from our Patreon, so surely you'll enjoy our chat about Airplane! You'll hear why we think this is not just an all-time great comedy, but an instruction manual for how to do screen comedy, how much we love that everyone involved plays their roles as serious as they do, and how highly we regard a post credit scene that seems to now be a lost art. You can trust us, we're podcasters. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
The Naked Gun (2025)
2025/12/29
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. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
2025/12/22
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. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
