Great films can end leaving the audience wanting more. Sometimes we actually get more - in the form of a sequel film! Often times these movies do not live up to the high marks set by the original work. But sometimes they give us exactly what we need and allow the story to reach new heights! This podcast is about sequels. Will we do this theme again? No, probably not.
