Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast

Sam Cherington & Will Morey

What is it with *third* movies? Why can"t trilogies ever seem to stick the landing? Why is it Part 3 when franchises gearshift to Tokyo Drifting or Season of the Witching? Why did it take three whole movies for Jason to find his hockey mask?! Join hosts Will Morey and Sam Cherington as they break down the best and worst movies ever made that came after two other movies. Nothing is off limits... they"re watching the good, the bad and the ugly. (Including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!)

Final Destination 3

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/10/31

Happy Halloween! It's time to wrap up Shriek-quel Threequel season with the oh-so-very 2006 Final Destination 3. It's a literal and figurative roller coaster ride as the boys watch Mary Elizabeth Winstead and a bunch of kids in mid-2000s Bieber hair try to outrun death while clutching their digital cameras, iPods, CD players and flip phones. Will they live long enough to reach 2007 and the arrival of the iPhone? Strap in and find out!Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod

MaXXXine

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/10/26

It's time to talk about a f-cking movie star, 'cause Will and Sam are taking it back to 2024-slash-1985 with Ti West's MaXXXine, the conclusion to the blood-soaked Mia Goth-led X trilogy. Does this love letter to Hollywood stick the landing in the way most trilogy-enders don't? Does Sam have some hot takes about the White Album out of nowhere? The answers are mostly and of course.Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license

BONUS: Sam and Will's Three Star Rating Revue!

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/10/07

Sam recently took Will and Podcast Part 3 by surprise when he instituted a three-star grading system for any threequels past or future. Now it's time to open up the podcast archives and assign one, two or three stars to the dozens of threequels we've enjoyed (or at least tolerated). Who will get the coveted three stars (Army of Darkness)? Who must suffer the shame of a solitary one star (Robocop 3)? Who will split the difference with two (I dunno... that Resident Evil we watched maybe)? Tune in and

Bonds, James Bonds (w/ guest FM DeMarco)

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/09/29

We're shaking (but not stirring) things up at Podcast Part 3, as Will and Sam tackle Connery, Moore, Brosnan and Craig's respective third James Bonds... Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me, The World is Not Enough and Skyfall. (Apologies to Lazenby and Dalton.)And to complete such a daring mission for podcast and country, they've brought in the host of the Tuesday Morning Screening Room podcast, writer/producer/Bond aficionado FM DeMarco. That's right, it only took 60-plus episodes, but the boys

Resident Evil: Extinction

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/09/05

Before Minecraft and Mario changed the game, video game movies were synonymous with failure, so mercifully very few became legit multi-movie franchises... with one notable exception. It's time to watch Resident Evil: Extinction, one of the very few video game movie threequels, and probably the best one to not feature a talking hedgehog.Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/08/18

Finally, a real superhero to end the summer! With Liam Neeson's fabulous new Naked Gun in theaters, Will and Sam are taking a look back at 1994's Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, the franchise's last installment starring Leslie Nielsen (and unsurprisingly, OJ Simpson). Warning: The words parody and satire will be used interchangeably throughout, so theater majors and film theorists be warned.Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/08/09

Superhero summer continues with the high-water mark of the post-Endgame MCU, 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In hindsight, James Gunn made a talking raccoon the best character in the MCU, so maybe we shouldn't be that shocked that he made Superman work.Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Iron Man 3

2025/07/24

It's a superhero summer here at Podcast Part 3, and we're going way back to 2013 with one of the MCU's true threequels, Iron Man 3, aka the one with a Mandarin but not THE Mandarin. Also, Sam blindsides Will with the new official Podcast Part 3 rating system that he totally didn't make up on the fly!Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Jurassic World: Dominion

2025/07/02

Jurassic World has rebirthed, so there's no better time to revisit its most recent threequel, 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion. And don't forget, Giganotosaurus is the largest carnivore the world has ever seen.Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Jurassic Park III

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/06/18

Back in our day, we only had a Jurassic Park instead of a whole Jurassic World and we liked it that way! (Well, mostly...) Jurassic World: Rebirth is nigh, so it's time for a 90-minute speed run through Isla Sorna with 2001's Jurassic Park III, a movie made entirely of ideas they didn't use in the first two Jurassic Parks.

The Creature Walks Among Us

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2025/06/05

It's time for another visit to the Universal Classic Monsters (excuse me, the Dark Universe), as we check in on Gill-man's one and only threequel, 1956's The Creature Walks Among Us. It's a sweaty Tennessee Williams melodrama about an abusive marriage and a toxic love triangle that just happens to feature a fish man living in the backyard.

The Crow: Salvation

2025/05/29

Podcast Part 3 is back, rising like a phoenix from the ashes to talk about, um, crows. Specifically (and lamentably) 2000's The Crow: Salvation, a direct-to-video threequel so dull not even Walton Goggins can save it.

Paranormal Activity 3

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/10/30

Shriek-quel Threequel season continues with Podcast Part 3's first visit to the shaky, spooky world of found footage with Paranormal Activity 3! As the low-budget, bajillion-dollar making demon possession saga takes us back to 1988, Will and Sam delve into the horror-heavy genre of found footage, pondering why it's so easy to make these movies but insanely difficult to make one that's actually good. Something about how it's hard to make a good movie look like a bad movie while still being a good

Omen III: The Final Conflict

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/10/17

It's October and Shriek-quel Threequel season is upon us once again! Sharpen up your Daggers of Megiddo because we're taking on the Antichrist himself in Omen III: The Final Conflict. Damien Thorn is Sam Neill now, and he's hellbent (har har) on destroying that pesky Jesus once and for all. While Damien recruits every evil little British boy he can find, Sam and Will compare this take on the Devil to The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and the original Omen (unfair), wonder why Satan is always vastly

X-Men - The Last Stand / Apocalypse

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/10/14

It's Problematic Director Days here at Podcast Part 3 as Will and Sam continue their foray in to the dear departed X-Men franchise with X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Apocalypse, two threequels jockeying for worst superhero movie of all time. Thrill as the Phoenix Saga is woefully botched twice in one franchise, and marvel as Oscar Isaac and Jennifer Lawrence compete to see who can look the most bored! Also Sam nobly attempts to derail the episode by talking about Furiosa. Music: Backbeat by Kevin

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/10/06

This week on Podcast Part 3, we don't got a podcast... we got a family. But only slightly, because this is The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the Season of the Witch of the Fast franchise! Join not-quite-Paul Walker as he traverses the mean streets of Tokyo in this threequel that's also canonically the seventh movie in the franchise. Did you know that this franchise that's basically the MCU with muscle cars had a sequel that was actually about racing?! We were just as surprised as you! Music:

War for the Planet of the Apes

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/09/22

The most consistently good franchise in movie history is back and grimmer than ever with 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes! As the saga of Caesar draws to a close, Will and Sam discuss whether this is the rare trilogy where the third movie is the best one, how a campy big-budget Twilight Zone episode managed to yield an 80% great series of sci-fi movies, and why the hell Steve Zahn isn't getting more work in Hollywood.

Back to the Future Part III

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/09/16

Get ready for 1.21 Gigawatts of fun (and respectful film discourse) as Will and Sam revisit Back to the Future Part III, aka the one in the Old West, aka the one with the random ZZ Top cameo, aka the one with Mary Steenburgen on the poster. There's no Johnny B. Goode and very little hoverboard as Marty and Doc embark on a passable Western comedy that happens to feature time travel. It's still a Back to the Future movie though, so expect some warm Amblin fuzzies from our two Millennial hosts... even

Death Wish 3

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/09/12

Sam and Will are taking the law into their own hands! On this episode, Podcast Part 3 visits the seedy underbelly of 80s cinema with Death Wish 3, a high-water mark for the infamous Cannon Films (if such a thing is possible). As Charles Bronson delivers his wooden brand of vigilante justice, the boys muse on the prolific schlock output of Golan and Globus, compare Chucks (Bronson v. Norris) and wonder if maybe it's for the best that this sleazy action movie really isn't trying to do or say anything

Deadpool & Wolverine

Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast ·

2024/08/31

WE HAVE RISEN, BABY GIRL! Podcast Part 3 is back, just in time for the most improbable threequel of all: an R-rated third Deadpool, fully authorized by Disney and fully canon in the MCU! Join Sam, Will, Wade and, oh yeah, f-cking LOGAN in a blood-soaked tribute to the mid-00s era of superhero movies. It'll somehow make you nostalgic for the Fantastic Four, Elektra and even a Gambit movie that never actually got made.
