.Few, if any, slasher villains have made as big an impact on the industry like Freddy Krueger. Initially conceived by an at the time down on his luck English professor turned filmmaker by the name of Wes Craven, Krueger starred in 1984's A Nightmare On Elm Street, and its impact has made its studio New Line Cinema to be known as the House The Freddy Built. But Craven quickly became disenchanted with his creation, as other filmmakers came in and made their stamp on the franchise with each subsequent sequel making its own impact on horror culture. So how high do we feel the franchise stands when it comes to horror history? Me, Matt, and the returning Mik Duffy take this series of podcasts to answer that very question.

After the fan and critical reaction to Freddy's Revenge, executives at New Line knew it was make it or break it time. So they did what they thought was right: bring in original Nightmare writer/creator Wes Craven to weave a new tale and maybe, just maybe, save his character from being just another unmemorable slasher villain. But his script was deemed almost unfilmable, so producer Robert Shaye brought in Chuck Russell and an up & coming writer by the name of Frank Darabont to touch it up and smooth line it for production, The result is almost unanimously looked at as the series' best film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. But do we agree? To preview this podcast, one of us doesn't.

We then look at future Die Hard sequel director Renny Harlin's A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master. Armed with a slicked up camera and a  much higher production budget, Harlin's resulting film was definitely unlike any other in the series. But a 1988 writer's strike deeply affected production, so how does future Oscar winner Brian Helgeland's script hold up? Myself, Matt, and Mik dissect it and wonder if Renny Harlin was actually Michael Bay before Michael Bay.

It's barely a franchise. The original came from the studio with Dino De Laurentis's name on it. It's been 28 years since its previous entry. So why the hell are we doing the movies of Bill and Ted, two movie doofuses who until this year, had made two movies that made decent money, but nothing worth writing home about. But despite all odds, this year has brought us a brand new entry entitled Bill & Ted Face The Music. Do I have to reiterate how crazy a year 2020 has been?

Now we've done franchises that waited awhile between sequels in the past. But a span of twenty-nine years, the amount of time between Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and this year's Bill & Ted Face The Music, is far and away the Aftertaste record for the number of years between films. So what made Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves finally come back to the roles that launched their careers? And is the film's story, once again concocted by original writers Ed Soloman and Chris Matheson, worthy of the long wait?

Join Alyx, Jack, and myself as we answer these questions and more. And be sure to stay until the end, as Jack makes a bizarre proposition for a condition connected to a possible future retrospective.
