2023/01/26

This week we are talking our 1st Star Wars movie, "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor". It was a 1st watch for both of us and we agreed that it was long overdue. This one had us talking about Wilford Brimley in an action scene, the great villains in the Marauders, the awesomeness that is Teek, and so much more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" and that means we can finally scratch a Star Wars off our list. This week's interview is with a former rock n roll bass player, Peter Bernstein, who turned in a pretty good composer. Peter's story always involved a love of music, maybe having a legendary Emmy award-winning Composer in the house. No matter what, Peter was going to do something he was passionate about. Peter and I talked about his friendship with John Landis led his

Happy New Year! The next sequel we are reviewing is "Lethal Weapon 3" and we are kicking off 2023 with a pretty amazing interview with Norman Buckley. Norman is now a big-time TV director and producer with credits that include Netflix's Sweet Magnolias, Pretty Little Liars, The O.C., and many more. Norman's original path after high school was History major, but some good advice from his mom helped him head off to USC for film school.

As 2022 comes to an end, we wanted to take the time to look back at the year that was with a little awards show. This also happens to be our 250th episode, which is wild. In this episode, Jamie and I reveal some Top 4 lists of 2022 that we came up with; categories include favorite sequels, worst characters, favorite interviews, and more. This was a year that had us cover one of the Mt. Rushmore of sequels in Aliens, but also had some bottom-of-the-barrel sequels along the way. Having said that no

Happy Holidays, Sequel lovers! This week we are talking "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker" which was one of the most mysterious sequels yet that had us guessing until the very end.

We talked Mickey Rooney kicking ass, the weird toys, the terrible adults (like always), the not speaking trope, and more.

This week we are talking "Puppetmaster X" which made us wonder for the 1st time ever, "How are there 9 others?". This sequel is towards the bottom for watching, but it's at the top for giving us things to discuss. We talked about the lack of seeing the puppets, the fact they don't speak, our mutual admiration of Sarge, Leech Woman, and so much more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Puppetmaster X" and for it, I interviewed Actor Martin Harris. In the movie, Martin plays a soldier, but he was such an interesting interview because of his journey to Hollywood from Poland with stops in Germany, covering the NBA in Europe, performing at the Comedy Store, and more. Also, I loved the other jobs he does in tv and film besides acting like being a dialect coach since he speaks multiple languages. I had a blast talking with Martin about acting,

This week we are talking "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" which is another sequel that set out to be the last (but not really). This movie had a lot for us to discuss like the confusion of when they are dreaming vs when they are awake, the lack of deaths, the creepy carnival, the recovery shelter that looked like it was abandoned, and more. No matter if you liked this movie or not, we can all agree that Robert Englund knocks it out of the park. This was a blast to discuss. The next sequel that

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" and for it, I was lucky enough to chat with Special FX Artist Jeffrey S Farley. Jeffrey's work in Freddy unfortunately was mostly cut, but he has worked on so many epic projects over the years like The Blob Remake, Demolition Man, lots of Full Moon Features, Wolf, and lots more. Jeffrey talks about how seeing the 70s flick "Equinox" changed his life forever. What I enjoyed most is the tight-knit SFX community because Jeffrey

This week we are talking about "Exorcist II" which is known to be one of the worst sequels of all time by movie lovers and they are right! This movie marks the 2nd sequel we covered of Oscar-winner, the late-great Louise Fletcher which didn't end up too well, the other being Grizzly II. This movie was so bad that we brought in a friend of the podcast Peter, who has a podcast called Fan2Fan (which we guested on earlier in the year and talked sequels).

This week we are talking "The Purge Anarchy" which was a movie sequel that we didn't expect (because for some reason we that it was over-the-top gorey). This movie had some dreaming of more Frank Grillo-led action flicks because if he was around in the 80s/90s at this age, he would've led so many action flicks. The Purge Anarchy had us discussing the odd rules of the purge, how you find your purge posse, who cleans the dead bodies, better ways to hide in your home, and lots more. This is a video
