Reverse Sequels

We learned a lot this week! For example, Death Race the original is not the original, but rather a 2008 remake or the 1975 original, Death Race 2000. What’s more than that, the 2008 original is the sequel to the sequel which was a prequel! Phew! Grab your release papers and join us as we discuss Death Race.

Ellie and Patrick discuss their favorite movies for every holiday.

What’s more disappointing, watching a movie that you thought starred Jason Statham that stars some bootleg version instead or watching a movie called Death Race that doesn’t have any racing until 2/3 of the way through the movie? Luckily there are plenty of explosions, flame thrower fights, and shower shankings to make up for it. So grab your lucky money clip and join us for Death Race 2!

Ellie and Patrick talk about why some movies only get one sequel while others go on to become multi-film franchises.

Not since Baby Geniuses has a scene in a movie rocked us to our core like this, a movie where an adult man kisses a child. To be fair, he was transporting the blackest soul on Earth from a dead war criminal. In this movie angels are complicated, side characters rule, and children are left unsupervised. So grab your ancient, unauthorized copy of the Bible and join us as we discuss The Prophecy.

In honor of Glenn Danzig in the Prophecy 2 Ellie and Patrick talk about their favorite musician cameos in movies.

Angels are jealous of humans, angels are ruthless murderers, and angels are horny for human women! Now these are some religious studies we can get behind! Speaking of behinds, Christopher Walken bares it all and stars as an angel mafioso with leather pants and a tenuous grasp on the human world. Grab your dry cleaning ticket and join us as we discuss The Prophecy II!

This week Ellie and Patrick are talking horror movie sequels. Why are there so many horror sequels, what are our favorites, and at what point does a horror franchise jump the shark?
