🎭 This Week’s Sequel: The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz

It’s our first-ever Muppet sequel, and what a wild ride it is! This week, we're diving into The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz — the film that gave the world the gift of Pepe the King Prawn, and for that alone, we are thankful. 🦐

We break down all the felt-covered chaos, including:

🎤 Miss Piggy’s absolutely wild rock ballad
👠 The surprisingly adult humor (seriously, this one’s spicy for a Muppet movie)
🐶 The mysterious absence of Rowlf
🌀 And the insane twist ending: Wait... this actually happened?!

🐉 Next Up: The NeverEnding Story III

Yep — it exists. Nope — it never got a U.S. release. But good news: it’s free on YouTube and totally worth your time (even if just for the bonkers story and 90s vibes).

To go with it, we had the pleasure of chatting with the film’s star — Melody Kay (Camp Nowhere, anyone?). Melody talked about her early rise in Hollywood, stepping away from acting, and what inspired her to recently jump back in.

🎙️ It’s a fun, heartfelt interview with someone who lived that 90s kid actor experience.

Next week, we’re diving into a magical (and felt-filled) sequel — The Muppets' Wizard of Oz — and for it, I chatted with Costume Designer Katie Irish.

Katie took us through her inspiring journey from Memphis to the University of Tulsa to NYU, all the way to working on major projects like The Americans and The Muppets. She gave us a behind-the-scenes look at:

• The process of turning a script into wearable storytelling

• How costume departments prep for stunts before anyone even yells “action”

• What it’s like to design for puppets and people

• Her experience working on the infamous Movie 43

• And so much more Muppet madness and industry insight

This week, I cashed in a Hall Pass and picked a sequel that’s part slasher, part tropical fever dream — "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." With a new entry in the franchise on the horizon, there’s no better time to revisit the wild ride that is winning a mysterious trip to an abandoned island resort during hurricane season.

To help unravel this Rube Goldberg chain of Hook Man chaos, we brought back our horror sequel expert Chris Egan. We cover everything from:

• Why you maybe should tell your family before skipping town

• That weird dummy in the road

• Jeffrey Combs crushing it as the creepiest hotel manager ever

• The world’s worst resort staff

• And of course... Jack Black in dreadlocks (yikes)

This week, we are discussing a sequel that isn't a sequel on the surface but it actually is, "Transylmania". This one has a few of the characters from Dorm Daze 1/2 and delivered like those movies do. We talked about the odd rules of the music box, pausing by mistake or maybe not on a particular scene, Jennifer Lyons crushing it, Musetta kicks butt, and a ton more. I have a "hunch" you will enjoy this one.

The next sequel we’ll be discussing is Transylmania. For it, I chatted with actress Musetta Vander, whose other sequels we’ve already covered — Oblivion 2 and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

Musetta shared her unique journey from South Africa to Hollywood, which began with her early work as a dancer in music videos, including one for Tina Turner. From there, she went on to appear in Murder, She Wrote, and continued booking multiple projects every year.

She had some great stories about growing up in South Africa, filming Oblivion, working on Wild Wild West, meeting Mike Ditka, and so much more.

This week, we are discussing a sequel that gave us some pretty insane frog inspired songs, "Return to Frogtown". This one really got under Jamie's skin and we had a bad movie sequel expert Nick join us as well to break down everything this one threw at us. We talked the terrible flying, the lack of fight scenes, a twist that Doug thought happened but didn't, a half frog/half woman, and a ton more. We will never see a sequel like this again but we did discuss who could star in a present day remake. This one will make your "meaner and greener" for sure.

The next sequel up is "Transylmania" which is a sequel to the Dorm Daze flicks... sorta, it has a few of the same character names but we will take it talk with the amazing Musetta Vander. Musetta talked about her journey from South Africa to Hollywood that included a Tina Turner music video, a Murder She Wrote, Mortal Kombat 2, Wild Wild West, and so much more. Musetta was an absolute blast.

The next sequel we will discuss is "Return to Frogtown". For it, I chatted with THE Rhonda Shear who had a small role in the sequel. Rhonda has a ton of great tv and film credits but we also discussed her time as a politician, stand up comedy, USA Up All Night, working with WWF, her clothing line, and a ton more. Rhonda also announced she is rebooting Up All Night on her youtube channel (see link below). Great chat with someone who truly fueled my love of sequels and all movies.

This week, we are discussing the sequel that gave us the best horror slasher ever with Friday the 13th Part 2. Without this sequel, we wouldn't have seen Jason in Times Square. In Part 2, we discussed some cool behind-the-scenes stories, how did he find Alice AND transported the body, the drunk somehow surviving, Muffin and Paul, and a ton more.

The next sequel up is "Frogtown II," and for it, I chatted with someone who is the reason I love reasons, Rhonda Shear. Rhonda hosted USA Up All Night, did stand-up, modeled, politics, clothing designer and entrepreneur, actress, and just an overall amazing human being. We discussed a ton but I love hearing about her time cross-promoting with WWF. Amazing chat

The next sequel we will discuss is "Friday the 13th Part 2". For it, I chatted with the Actor Russell Todd, who was the 1st machete victim of Jason Voorhees. Russell talked about his journey from outside Albany, where he grew up thinking he'd be a director, but that quickly changed when someone said he had that look. We discussed an epic audition story that led to his SAG card, his appearance in Friday the 13th Part 2, attending SNL After Parties in the early days, starting his agency for steadicam operators, and his recent return to acting.

This week, we are discussing a listener request with "The Rage: Carrie 2", a sequel I remembered really enjoying as a 13-year-old and still do. We discussed the connection to the original, why the Chess team is never the villains, the parts of the movie borrowed from other '90s flicks, the epic end scene, Rachel's power rules, and more. This was a fun one to discuss, for sure.

The next sequel up is "Friday the 13th Part II," and for it, I chatted with Actor Russell Todd, who was a victim of Baghead Jason. Russell has the distinction of being the 1st machete kill by Jason. We talked about Russell's journey that started with directing as a kid, his journey to the 1st credit, Friday the 13th, Chopping Mall, being an agent for Steadicam operators, and a ton more. Great chat.
