Episode 101: Sequels, Prequels, & Reboots
What’s good homies!? We’re back! This is the first of our new topical episodes and we’re kicking it off with a bang! Today, we’re going to be talking about sequels, prequels, and reboots in film. The conversation also dips into the pool of video games, television adaptations of movies, and more. We also have a proper intro this time… and this is part of it:
From the groundbreaking franchises that continue to captivate us with their imaginative sequels, to the daring prequels that unravel the untold origins of our favourite characters, and the exciting reboots that breathe new life into classic tales… we're gonna talk about it all. Even the hot garbage. You know, there is an intricate dance between honouring the past and charting exciting, new territories on film. In this episode, we’ll be asking what makes a successful sequel or prequel. Is it about capturing the essence of the original while forging its own path, or do fan expectations play a vital role? What about the ever-looming influence of film studios, finances, nostalgia, and all the other various pratfalls filmmakers have to deal with? And how can reboots reimagine familiar stories while introducing new fresh perspectives and still continue to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers? Throughout this episode, we'll dissect iconic films and franchises, discuss their impact on the cinematic landscape, and share our opinions on the topic…. both good and bad.
In this episode, we talk about all the bangers from “The Godfather: Part II” to “Aliens” to the “Planet Of The Apes” reboot to “Mad Max: Fury Road” to the “Fast And Furious” franchise. We also discuss what makes a good sequel, prequel, or reboot, the issue of financial success vs. creative integrity, studio interference, what filmmakers might need more of to make new and exciting sequels in the age of the franchise, “Star Wars” and the MCU’s recent shortcomings, the X-Men franchise’s bounce back and Wolverine’s journey through the films, the problem with franchise burnout, fan expectations, thematic sequels like Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some!!!” and “Dazed and Confused”, filmmaker’s phoning in on a sequel vs. actually caring about the content, social media’s role, and a whole lot more. Plus, we want to hear from YOU! What do you think about our discussion today? Let us know! We end the episode by sharing some stuff that we’ve been listening to, watching, and playing lately, as usual.
We’ll see you in a week!
