We're on the set and ready to talk about being ready to talk about the 2004 sequel, Seed of Chucky. You'll hear what we think about the meta of all meta movies and how the weight of it's metatextuality works against the film instead of being an asset like the movie that preceded it, how many hits the movie has in terms of jokes or ideas but how it doesn't compare to the misses, and a discussion about how formless this episode is but that we consider that the fault of this sequel which is itself, quite formless. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're walking down the aisle to give our thoughts on the 1998 sequel, Bride of Chucky! You'll hear why we admire this movie so much as a metatextual commentary on the series itself and old Hollywood, how pleased we were with the rule of three Three's Company related jokes considering John Ritter's role in the film, and what a delightful addition Jennifer Tilly becomes when she's added to what we didn't know we needed, the domestic side of Charles Lee Ray's previous life. Enjoy!  Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

The blanks are out and we're loading live rounds as we talk about the third installment in the Chucky series, Child's Play 3! You'll hear the good and the bad in the movie like an opening that closes the capitalism is bad loop of the story at the beginning but also fails to build tension and sticks around too long, the problems with the time jump and what happens and how making your central character older forces you to install a new and younger surrogate, and a game of that feels right in which Tom out duels Mike by remembering that the actor who plays George's boss on Seinfeld is named Daniel von Bargen.

We're ready to smash your face and bury you in the backyard if you can't recognize what a solid sequel has been made in Child's Play 2! You'll hear our thoughts on the merits of this aftermath sequel and how they manage to include the business storyline at the beginning of the film, more compliments on the voice performance of Brad Dourif as Chucky, and a conversation about how well this series is able to create new characters as well as bring back legacy characters seamlessly in a way that just flat out works for an audience.

It's not exactly child's play when ranking the Chucky series... I know you saw what we did there. You'll hear why this series is so hard to rank as we discuss how many different kinds of sequels there are in this series and why we value what we do, that we may have the same two movies at the top but then diverge greatly in what we like most after that, and some repeated gushing for the voice performance of Brad Dourif which we believe may rank second to no other voice performance.

We are facing off in the middle of town to unholster our pitches in a battle to the death. You'll hear which of us decides to kill the magnificent seven, which of us has seven stories for the magnificent seven, and whether or not we go prequel or sequel. Enjoy!

We're stalking the political problems of our latest sequel like the previously level headed and now murderous Chris stalks characters in The Magnificent Seven Ride! That exclamation point finishes the sentence and the title of the movie. You'll hear what we think of Lee Van Cleef taking over the role of Chris and how much his performance changes the essence of the character, several observations about how this movie seems to side with Richard Nixon and his republican friends think about young people and justice, and a talk about how useless it is to introduce your villain about sixteen minutes from the end of your film. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 F. Kennedy impersonations for some reason. Actually, we sound more like Mayor Quimby. All that and more so enjoy!

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 politics. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 us circles back to the beginning of Critters by including the prison planet from the original film. You can hear our commentary on that original film in mere days if you join our Patreon, so what are you waiting for? Enjoy!

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 character but we'd just prefer to know why. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 to say, the big city, and how the movie manages to weave in it's legacy character in wise ways, especially considering he was filming the next movie at the same time. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate L Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Vegas Beer Guys Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

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 this movie and the series chooses to treat continuity as though it's not the hardest thing in the world to achieve.
