The Hollywood Outsider

Legacy Sequels, Nobody 2, Red Sonja, Weapons, Freakier Friday, The Hunting Wives


Listen Later

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, legacy sequels are all the rage, with movies like Happy Gilmore 2 and Freakier Friday being just a pair of recent examples. Is it the nostalgia, IP recognition, or a lack of original content that keeps revitalizing long-dead properties with a sequel meant to cause a resurgence of fanfare? We discuss this, as well what are the best and worst examples, plus the one legacy sequel we are still holding out hope for.

Also this week, John Rambo has a star, reviews of Nobody 2 and Red Sonja, plus our thoughts on recent releases Freakier Friday, The Hunting Wives and Weapons.
