Sequelisers

It's the first VIP pick of a brand new interseason and we're covering a topic that comes up pretty often on the main series: namely, when do you release a good sequel? One to three years feels like a lot of studio pressure or support but what's the logic behind leaving it one to three decades? Let's talk motivation, risk, and success with legacy sequels.

We're kicking off our inter-season with another Sequel We'd Like To See, and this time, it's an elementary choice, as we take a look at 1986's Basil the Great Mouse Detective and imagine what the continuing adventures of London's premier rodent detective might look like.

It's time to take our masks off and dive through some doves in slow motion because our season finale is Mission: Impossible 2 from 2000. And yes, we do talk about Tom Cruise's hair and that Limp Bizkit song.

It's the last VIP pick of the season and oh, we have such sights to show you. Hellraiser may be an iconic and prolific franchise but it's also pretty rotten at its core. So we're going back to the 80s and seeing if we can solve the puzzle that is 'making a good Hellraiser sequel.'

The first Lego Movie was a delightful breath of fresh air, managing to thread the needle of being a corporate toy commercial with actual heart and humor. The second one was saddled with an overly-complicated plot and a terrible marketing campaign. Can we do any better, or are we about to brick it?

We're venturing back into the deep waters of Jean-Claude Van Damme sequels as we tackle the sequel to Universal Soldier. It's the Universal Soldier sequel that's not a TV movie (that's good) but does feature Bill Goldberg (that's bad).

Sharks! Super intelligent eavesdropping sharks! You're not familiar with them? Well you will be once we're through with our latest episode, as we take a look back 25 years ago to Deep Blue Sea and the bizarre choice to release a sequel nearly two decades later. And you don't have to be a genius killer shark to know it was a terrible idea.

Remember Crocodile Dundee? With the knife and the water buffalo and the... what are these films actually about? The war on drugs and art theft? We take a trip back to the 80s to re-examine this Australian icon who definitely doesn't hold up to a 21st century lens. So how do you solve a problem like Mick?

It's time to venture back into the Montague and Capulet gardens and meet Sherlock Gnomes and Dr Gnome Watson. Yes, those are their actual names. And yes, we're fixing this film because of one of our VIPs on Patreon.

If ever there was a film that was so self-contained that it didn't need a sequel, it'd be Donnie Darko. And yet, somehow, S.Darko exists. And after we were visited by a guy in a rabbit costume, we've been charged with following our liquid spears through time to fix it.

We take a stroll through Disney's mid-2000s wilderness with the maddeningly dull Brother Bear and its confusingly horny direct-to-DVD sequel. Can we endure the overblown Canadian accents and lack of plot long enough to come up with a fix?

It's a sequel to a true classic that opened up an entire genre to new fans worldwide. And it's the biggest drop-off we've ever seen on the Tomatometer. Guys, gals and non-binary pals, please enjoy our discussion and fixing of Ring 2 AKA Ringu 2.

Know what a middling racing film needs? A spy-centric sequel. Not convinced? Nah, few were. Least of all one of our VIPs, who has asked us to fix this busted up instalment. But in order to fix it we need to do a bit of gymnastics to factor in Cars 3. Let's slide into pole position and get to it.

Who's ready for some early-2000s cringe? Robert De Niro leans way too hard into his comedy renaissance and Ben Stiller is apparently irresistible to Latina women in this comedy hit that somehow mutated into a trilogy. Can we rescue the third entry, or is it too focking cursed?

With the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules and the stamina of Athena, we managed to not only watch the Shazam sequel all the way through, we've fixed it! It's time to tackle 2023's most disappointing sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Oh this is going to be controversial. It's our first VIP pick of the season and we've been asked to fix Back To The Future Part III. We know some of you hate it, some of you love it, but it now holds a special place on the show as the most difficult pitch Tim has ever been tasked to write.

It's a new year, a new season, and a new bad sequel in need of fixing. But is Psycho 2 really that much of a drop off from it's iconic predecessor? And how does Psycho hold up after more than 60 years of imitation and legacy? Let's find out, as we kick off Season 13...

That's right, it's an extra special inter-season finale episode! We're talking all about movie posters - the history, the good, the bad and everything in between. But Jack, Matt & Tim are hardly qualified to discuss art and posters, right? So, we are finally joined by the honourary fourth Sequeliser, Mr John Scarratt, to bring his artistic knowledge and perspective.

Every now and then we get a new movie about (at least) two people forced to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. A lesson in forced empathy. Why? Well, we'll get onto that. How? Again, we'll get to that. And whether a horror, science fiction, or comedy, they usually follow the same beats. Let's talk about it.

Not every film gets a chance to be so terrible we have to fix it - some of them never even see the light of day. Whether it's projects that never get past some awesome concept art or fully finished films that studios eliminate for a tax write-off, there's a long history of films that could have been, and this week we're discussing just a few of them.
