The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

Next week, we are sniffing out crime with K-9 PI, but this week we are talking with actor Matthew Bennett.

You may recognize Matthew from Battlestar Galactica, Just One of the Girls (with Corey Haim), and K-9 PI. Today, he balances his acting career with a passion for photography — but he’s still booking new roles, most recently on Law & Order Toronto.

Matthew shared so many great stories, including:

• Working alongside Corey Haim on Just One of the Girls

• The role that literally got him an air conditioner

• His time on K-9 PI and stepping into sequels with a loyal four-legged co-star

• His ongoing photography career and creative projects

• Reflections on acting across TV and film, from cult favorites to mainstream hits

This week, we’re diving into a wild and often-forgotten sequel — The NeverEnding Story III.

Yes, it’s the one with Jack Black, Barky the tree, and enough shopping montages to qualify as a 90s time capsule. And while this one didn’t hit U.S. theaters, it’s a ride that has to be seen to be believed (and you can still watch it free on YouTube 👀).

We covered it all, including:
🌳 Barky stealing every scene as everyone’s favorite wooden sidekick
🎭 Jack Black absolutely crushing it as the over-the-top villain
🪄 The jaw-dropping Jim Henson puppetry that still holds up today
🛍️ Shopping montages galore (because why not?)
✨ And plenty more sequel weirdness you won’t believe until you see it

Next week, we’re heading back to Fantasia (and a little ‘90s nostalgia) with The NeverEnding Story III — and for it, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with actress Melody Kay.

You may know Melody from Camp Nowhere or The NeverEnding Story III, but after an early rise in Hollywood, she stepped away from acting to raise her family. Now she’s back and starring in the new film Round the Decay.

Melody opened up about:

• How she landed her breakout roles in the ‘90s

• Behind-the-scenes chaos and fun from Camp Nowhere and The NeverEnding Story III

• What it was like to work internationally at such a young age

• Why she decided to step away from Hollywood and what brought her back

• Her experience returning to set for Round the Decay

• And plenty of personal stories that fans will love

🎭 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.

I used a Hall Pass to bring back our horror sequel expert Chirs Egan to review "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" jsut in time for the new one! It's 4 bucks to rent. It has Brandy AND Jack Black.

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.
