FRANCHISED

"First there was 'Night of the Living Dead' then 'Dawn of the Dead' and now the darkest day of horror the world has ever known..." This week on FRANCHI$ED hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas hold up in a military bunker with a group of scientists trying to figure out how to rid the world of the flesh-eating zombies. With the soldiers meant to be protecting them getting impatient and the lead scientist trying to teach zombies to talk, the crew are about to witness all hell break loose!

We've battled the Night and we've battled the Dawn (twice)! Now it's time to battle George A. Romero's underrated 1985 horror classic DAY OF THE DEAD! Often seen as the lesser of Romero's original trilogy, we dive into one of the most interesting and under-appreciated zombie films ever made.

Join us as we shine light on this claustrophobic film, that once again features some of the best make-up effects around from the master Tom Savini, and introduces the world to Greg Nicotero – who has gone on to be heavily involved in The Walking Dead.

It's time to get Zombified and FRANCHI$ED!

There is still no more room in hell and the Dead are still walking the earth! This week on FRANCHI$ED hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas return to the scene of last week's crime in our first SIDE MISSION of Season Two!

It's Fil's pick this time and he chose for us to cover Zack Synder's DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004). It's Synder's first film, it boasts a script by James Gunn, and it features a few now famous TV stars.

Take this journey with us, back into the shopping mall. But be careful... The zombies are a lot faster this time around. Are you down with the sickness?

Hey, everybody! Time to Shop til' You Drop! This week on FRANCHI$ED hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas break into their closest shopping mall and camp out, in hopes that help will arrive. Only problem is : the place is overrun by flesh-eating zombies!

We're of course tackling George A. Romero's 1978 horror masterpiece DAWN OF THE DEAD. He changed the game in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead, now Romero is back to change the horror landscape once again in this iconic piece of independent filmmaking.

Armed with another killer idea and location, a cast full of actors with great chemistry, financing and a kick ass score provided by Dario Argento, and Tom Savini's ingenious makeup effects – Romero delivers one of the all-time greats... again!

Join us as we take on the quarter mile for the final time (or at least until they release more of these movies)... It's time to get FRANCHI$ED...

And don't miss our Season One Wrap Up Episode released in the feed on the same day this episode drops, where we reveal our final rankings and our plans for Season Two – coming in October 2021!

This week on FRANCHI$ED, while gearing up for the ultimate trip to outer space that will surely be F9, Jonathan & Ariane took a Fast and Furious detour to London and found out what it would really happen if Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw got their own spin off...

It's the penultimate episode in Season One and we're talking David Leitch's 2019 action-packed buddy comedy FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba.

Join us as we dive into this low-key pandemic movie that tore the heart out of the Fast Family (if you ask Tyrese, anyway) and contributed to way more beef than necessary... It's time to get FRANCHI$ED...

Hosts Jonathan & Ariane are near the end of Season One with The Fast Saga and this is possibly for the worst film yet! But that doesn't mean this episode is bad...

Join us as we chat the 8th Fast & Furious movie – F8 aka THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS – and act as script doctors trying to find ways to fix this flawed film. What went so wrong with this one? Was it the lack of Brian O' Conner? Was it all the beef between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, and Tyrese and Dwayne Johnson, and Michelle Rodriquez and maybe Vin Diesel? Or was it just a Franchise that has maybe just run its course?

Tune in as we find out... It's time to get FRANCHI$ED...

Your hosts Jonathan Foster & Ariane Anantaputri have finally arrived to one of the biggest, dumbest and simultaneously the saddest and most heartfelt films of the franchise with FURIOUS 7. We see a whole lot of flying cars, wrestling manoeuvres and of course this is the final ride for our favourite White Boy Brian O'Conner! Salud! RIP Paul Walker - this episode is for you!

Please Note: Ariane's xlr cable gave out on her prior to recording, so she couldn't use her usual mic and we had to go with her laptop mic. So this will be the reason for any noticeable quality issues midway through the episode.
