Pop Culture Rewind

In this episode, Travis & Xavier take a look at some of the worst movie threequels of all time.  A threequel is a second sequel to a movie, or a continuation, or the third part to a franchise.  Unfortunately, Hollywood always seems to drop the ball on what made the previous two films successful.  Whether the lead actor wasn't signed on for a third film, or the budget was cut back, or the writers and/or director don't come back (unless it's Michael Bay, then you can't get rid of him), something always seems to happen which affects the overall quality of the threequel, or as we like to say....the curse of the three!
