Four years after the magical success of Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg, David Koepp, and Jeff Goldblum return to make a sequel (on a different island for some reason)! Does this oft-overlooked sequel deserve more flowers? Come back next week when we'll discuss the 90-minute Jurassic Park III that brings Sam Neill to the series.

Welcome, to Jurassic Park! After wrapping up one long running franchise returning this summer, we transition to the next on our schedule, Jurassic Park. With Jurassic World: Rebirth hitting the big screen in July, we start with the 1993 classic by Steven Spielberg. Does the film hold up 32 years after its release? Come back next week for The Lost World: Jurassic Park!

Fourteen years after Final Destination 5, the franchise returns to the big screen with Bloodlines. The film opened to stellar reviews from critics as well as $50 million at the box office, but was the film a smash success with us? Come back next week as we start our Jurassic Park series with the Steven Spielberg original!

Two years after the abomination of the franchise was released, New Line and Warner Bros. returned to the Final Destination franchise for what would be the last time for 14 years. Final Destination 5 brought back Tony Todd and, some say, quality filmmaking to the series. Does it hold up for us now? Come back next week for our review of the new film, Final Destination: Bloodlines! The week after that we are starting our tour of Jurassic Park!

Final Destination 4? No, THE Final Destination hit theaters in 2009 while having the largest budget for a film in the franchise. On top of that, the film grossed the most at the box office as well. Despite this, the film only runs 77 minutes not counting credits, and is known as the worst in the series. Is that how we see it? Come back next week for our last review before Bloodlines with Final Destination 5!

Don't get on the rollercoaster! We're back with the third Final Destination picture where the horror comes from an amusement park disaster in a small town. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and DCOM star Ryan Merriman star in this installment of the series which is widely regarded as the best of the series. We'll be back next week with our review of the film that grossed the most of any in the franchise so far, THE Final Destination (aka Final Destination 4)!

Bonus episode! We return to our Alex Garland series from last year with seemingly the director's last time behind the camera for the foreseeable future. Did he go out on a high note with this co-directed almost experimental film? We'll be back on Monday with our review of Final Destination 3!

The survivors of Flight 180 found out the hard way that there's consequences to cheating Death's designs for them in the original film. Now, we find out that those changes caused ripples in Death's plan, and thus, a sequel! Clear Rivers returns to the franchise, as do we, for Final Destination 2! And we'll be back next week for Final Destination.......3! Who would have guessed?!

Some time between now and that episode we should also have a bonus review of Alex Garland's new film, Warfare! This will continue our series last year where we reviewed all of his feature films leading up to and including Civil War.

No connecting flights this month, we're going straight to the Final Destination! For the next six weeks the guys will be reviewing one of the most popular horror franchises of the last 25 years! Today we start with the original film from 2000. Next week we will be back on the road for Final Destination 2!

Also keep an eye out for a bonus review of Warfare coming in the next few weeks to keep up with our Alex Garland series from last year.
