In this sequel month, it's time to tackle The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. The Lion King is one of the most beloved Disney movies of all time, but does the sequel hold up? In this movie, adult Simba is a real bigot and it will take his daughter and Scar's "son" to teach him that maybe he shouldn't be a piece of garbage.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the first true sequel we've had to the Ghostbusters franchise in a while. This time, kids are the focus instead of dry and sarcastic adults busting ghosts. They took a more family-friendly approach, but also still retained some element of scariness. It's an interesting interpretation of the Ghostbuster mythos that both Ethan and Mike only sort of know. Let's get a little nostalgic eh? Also, let's see if this new movie is any good. Hop into your Ecto-cooler-1 and take a ride with us!

Slap Shot is a cult comedy movie about hockey directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting) and stars Paul Newman.

Maybe this violent movie has something to say about toxic masculinity, violence as entertainment, and homophobia? Have a listen to find out!

Air Force One depicts Harrison Ford as one of the only competent modern-day presidents! In fact, he's so competent he negotiates with terrorists and still somehow wins. Even if that terrorist is Gary Oldman doing a Russian accent. What a wild ride for this 4th of July.

17 Again is Zac Efron's big new movie from 10 years ago! This is when he wanted to be taken seriously as a serious actor and honestly, he kinda nails it. This movie could have been so much worse than it actually was.

The poster of LadyHawke may be more memorable than this box office bomb. Although Mike has a pretty big confession to make in this podcast.

Big Business seemed like an unassuming movie from the poster, but it actually turned out to be the biggest test of the concept of this podcast. What if there are two actors playing two different people with each actor having the same name as the other character. I'd reveal more of the plot, but let's just have Mike, the watcher of the second half, attempt to explain it to you. It's a wild ride, highly recommend this episode if you want to see Mike's mind break in half.
