It's time for us to talk about the elusive crossover successes and, more often than not, failures of people who have tried to make the transition from stage & studio to the silver screen.

This week's talking point was chosen by one of our executive producers, over on Patreon. We're looking back at the history, commodification and evolution of private jokes the audience were never meant to see.

For our Season 9 finale, we finally tackle one of the most notorious bad sequels of all time, the water-logged Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Following the pattern set out by Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon paired Jackie Chan with Owen Wilson to take on the old west. And then they decided to travel to jolly old England and all the charm collapsed. Guess it's up to us to fix Shanghai Knights.

The Disney machine never stops, and that's good because it keeps us provided with plenty of bad sequels to fix, for example, 2019's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. We take on a film filled with inexplicable accent choices, irritating pixies and far too much green screen, and see if we can craft a happy ending for this alternative take on the classic fairy tale.

With the world around us on its knees and political leaders meeting to try and figure out how to address the growing climate crisis, it seems only fitting to cover 90s message piece, FernGully. Or more accurately, it's deeply inferior successor: FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue.

Time to nut up or sequel up, as we take a trip to Zombieland. The original captured the zeitgeist back in 2009, but after a 10 year wait for a sequel, we were left with more of a bloated corpse than a lean, mean brain-eating machine. Can we salvage this undead duology, or is it time for a bullet to the head?
