Franchise Fatigue episodes

  • The Bourne Identity

    This week we begin exploring one of the most influential action franchise of the 2000s.

    Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity is a fantastic thriller that added a whole new level of realism and intensity to the genre. 

    1 hr 34 min
  • Men in Black: International

    With James back, we finally finish playing catch up with franchise installments released while we were in the MCU with the already forgotten Men in Black: International.

    A film who's troubled production is far more interesting than anything that happens in it. Which is a tragedy considering its two fantastic lead actors.

  • The Hire: The Escape

    This week we wrap up The Hire series with Neill Blomkamp's installment, The Escape.

    Its not the best of them, but its a lot of fun, featuring a very scary Jon Bernthal.
