The next sequel we will discuss is "Dennis the Menace Strikes Again". For it, I chatted with Hollywood Hairstylist Emanuel Millar. Emanuel has done the hair for the likes of Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Bill Murray, Johnny Depp, and more, but his path to get to that 1st credit on a Tina Turner music video was quite interesting. We talked about the typical day as a hairstylist on set, the world traveling he did, Don Rickles, his books "The Kindest Cut" Volume 1 and 2 (link below), and lots more. This was one job I was fascinated by, so it was great to chat with Emanuel.

The next sequel up were discussing is a sequel we never knew existed, but glad that it does with Scanners II. The trailer gave me the vibes of a movie that should be fun, but we will see. For it, I chatted with actor Russell Yuen. Russell was destined to be a doctor, but when he needed a random class before university, acting was all they had and that changed his life forever. Lots of great stories about Gene Hackman, his first voice-over gig, and more. Lots of fun.

The next sequel we are discussing is "How High 2". This one has the hilarious Deray Davis, Mike Epps, and DC Young Fly.

Most know Susan for his role as Homeless Lynn from Cobra Kai, but she has a lot of other amazing stories from her career. Susan has such a passion for the business and had some great stories of self-submitting herself for roles that her agents didn't (like Cobra Kai). She had some great stories about her family, acting with her daughters, taking her kids with her out to LA for pilot season, and more. Fun chat.

The next sequel we are discussing is "Guyver 2: Dark Hero" and for it, I chatted with Actress Kathy Christopherson who plays "Cori" in this movie that I believe must've inspired Power Rangers.

Early Influences and Beginnings Growing up, Kathy found herself enthralled by the magic of acting, nurtured by cherished moments watching classic movies alongside her mother.

Guyver and Beyond Kathy's early roles included a memorable appearance in the cult classic film, Guyver. She reflects on her desire to explore diverse roles and her resilience against the industry's expectations, offering insights into her audition process and experiences working on the movie.

The Joys and Challenges of the Industry Throughout the conversation, Kathy shares anecdotes from her varied career, from the camaraderie on the set of Guyver to her disappointment at being cut from a film. She discusses her preference for movie making over TV shows, the significance of connections within the entertainment industry, and the excitement of having roles tailored specifically for her.

Reflections and Nostalgia As the conversation draws to a close, Kathy reflects on her journey, from the nostalgia of watching old TV shows to the joy of working with talented individuals. She shares her experiences with nudity in TV shows and treasures collected from her time on set, offering a glimpse into the personal side of her career.

This re-release is dedicated to buddy Tommy Kiczula who passed away a few days ago. He was the guest for this review and it was one of our favorite horror movies. Tom and my buddy Nick were over at my house in July for a viewing of Jason Takes Manhattan on my projector. RIP Tommy Kiczula

In honor of having a Friday the 13th this month, we had to discuss one and we chose a non-Crystal Lake one,  Jason Takes Manhattan....well sorta.  Doug and Jamie invited guest Tom Kiczula, who was born on a Friday the 13th, to discuss this wild installment in the story of Jason Voorhees. They discussed how wet Jason was, his possible teleportation,  most importantly...how does Jason bleed or drown, and so much more!

The 4th Scary Sequel Month is rolling along great and we are diving back into the pool of Norman Bates and his mother for Psycho III. We discussed how they brushed off the second movie's ending, the odd homecoming game party, the 80s hotties in this small town, Jeff Fahey playing a dick, if the wet look is in, and more.

This week we are celebrating 2 important dates; November 1st which marks the day that Death Wish 3 hit theaters back in 1985 and November 3rd, 1921 which was the day that Charles Bronson was born. So what better way to celebrate than to get together "3 of the nicest bad guys ever" from Death Wish 3.  Alex Winter, Kirk Taylor, and Tony Spiridakis played the roles of "Hermosa", "The Giggler", and "Angel".  They talked about their auditions, death scenes, personal experiences with Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, and so much more.  This reunion was put together by myself and Chris Rauch who runs the Charles Bronson Twitter account and we thought, "hey let's get these bad guys together," but what we didn't know was that we reunited 3 people who formed a bond on set and haven't seen each other in almost 36 years. It was quite special to see them together again.

This is by far the coolest thing we have ever been a part of, enjoy!

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Meet the Fockers" and we interviewed Actor Jack Plotnick who had a small, but a hilarious role in the movie.  You know Jack from the Ellen Show in the 90s, Jenny McCarthy Show, Rubber, and so much more.  Most recently you can see Jack in a lot of guest-starring roles on Z-Nation, Grace and Frankie, Reno 911 Lone Star, and more.  This was a great chat.

Enjoy the Re-Release of Meatballs 3!

So this is a movie we did not know existed, but after watching it... WE ARE HAPPY THAT IT DOES! Doug and Jamie discussed Meatballs 3 starring a young Patrick Dempsey, George Buza, and Shannon Tweed.  They discussed everything from the movie possibly being set in the 50s, porn heaven, and lots of Mean Gene talk.  Meatballs 3 was a pleasant surprise for sure and the full movie is available on YouTube, so check it out.

The link to our chat with "Mean Gene" aka George Buza is at sequelsonly.com/georgebuza

It's with  "Mean Gene", who was played by George Buza.  George had an interesting career with some memorable roles over the years.  George was the voice of Beast from the X-Men animated series and did voices on Babar, Ewoks, The Busy World of Richard Scary and so much more.  He was such a great guy and lots of fun to chat with.

The next sequel we are covering is Blair Witch 2016, a direct sequel to the original. For it, I chatted with Filmmaker Nathan Haugaard. I used filmmaker because Nathan wears many hats; camera operator, pulling focus, director, writer, producer, and cinematographer, and I am probably leaving something out because he does it all. CKY skate videos and The Blair Witch Project helped fuel his filmmaking at a young age. Nathan and I talked about working for James Cameron, shooting Real Housewives, Avatar, other films he's worked on, the Hollywood strikes, and lots more. Great chat!

This week we are back to our Action roots and covering our 1st Don "The Dragon" Wilson flick in "Bloodfist V: Human Target." This movie has zero to do with the previous 4, but still gave us a lot to discuss. Bloodfist V is either the smartest movie ever written because of the big twist at the end or we are giving it too much credit. We talked Steve James, the lack of fight scenes, how amnesia could cure bad behavior, and lots more.

The next sequel we are talking about is Blair Witch 2016 which was a touchstone film series for next week's guest Nathan Haugaard. Nathan grew up in Vancouver... Washington, not Canada. As a kid he grabbed a camera to film his buddies skating and the rest is history. He saw Blair Witch with his buddies and then started shooting horror. Nathan went to LA after High School and quickly worked with James Cameron and learned the ins and outs of 3-D. We talked about the best way to do 3-D, filming reality TV, the strike, and more.

This movie has sequel had some familiar faces in like Michael Berryman, Penny Johnson (The Larry Sanders Show), Kevin Spirtas (Friday the 13th Part VII), and more. This one had us talking about naming your kids after planets, splitting up in this scary place, the super gas, realizing it's daylight savings from a newspaper, Jamie not realizing the main character was blind, and lots more. These horror movies teach us to never take shortcuts, even though it's fun to chant "SHORTCUT!"

The next sequel we are talking about is not the one we mentioned in the review because our action sequel expert is available, so we are going to cover "Bloodfist V" starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Steve James, and next week's guest Denice Duff.

This movie has doesn't have familiar faces, but they are giving it there all in every scene plus it's shot beautifully with some impressive special effect.

It was a doozy but it was a blast as always.

This week we are dipping our toes into the Terminator franchise and starting with the fifth installment, Terminator Genisys. This sequel had us racking our brains over the time traveling and the issues we thought were happening (we aren't time travel experts). We discussed the weird obsession with the Genisys operating system, the amazing SFX, the T-800 applying for jobs, the civilian casualties, not enough JK Simmons, and more.

The next sequel discussed is "Mortal Kombat Annihilation", which is on the Mount Rushmore of sequels that went wrong, but I bet we will find a lot that went right. This movie had a former guest Brian Thompson and next week's guest Marjean Holden. Marjean plays Sheeva in the film and discusses the lengthy audition process and why her fight scene got cut. We talked about her journey from being a P.A. on a movie while going to Arizona State to being in movies in less than a year, how she became a stuntwoman, her new passion to direct, modeling, and more. Great chat!

The next sequel that we are covering is another first watch for me in "Terminator Genisys" and for it chatted with Actor Griff Furst who plays Agent Burke, but the role of an actor is one of many hats he wears. Griff is also a producer who has a brand new film out called "Devil's Peak" starring Billy Bob Thornton, Robin Wright, and Jackie Earle Haley. Griff and I talked about growing up with an incredible actor as a father in "Stephen Furst" (Flounder in Animal House), how acting school kicked his career into high gear, directing at a young age, how to option a book, Wade Boggs, and more.

The next sequel discussed is "Terminator Genisys", which is has a pretty solid cast and it's film I have never seen which is always fun. For it, I talked with Griff Furst who plays Agent Burke, but when Griff isn’t acting, he’s directing, producing, and writing. Griff has directed a lot of sci fi movies like Lake Placid 3 and Swamp Shark.  He has a great story about DB Sweeney and Wade Boggs you are gonna love.  He recently produced Devil’s Peak starring Robin Wright, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jackie Earle Haley.  We talked about growing up with a big time Hollywood dad, Stephen Furst “Flounder” in Animal House, hanging out on the set of St. Elsewhere and Dream Team, and how to actually get a movie made.  Great chat.

As 2022 comes to an end, we wanted to take the time to look back at the year that was with a little awards show.  This also happens to be our 250th episode, which is wild.  In this episode, Jamie and I reveal some Top 4 lists of 2022 that we came up with; categories include favorite sequels, worst characters, favorite interviews, and more. This was a year that had us cover one of the Mt. Rushmore of sequels in Aliens, but also had some bottom-of-the-barrel sequels along the way.  Having said that no matter which one of the 23 sequels we covered this year, we had a blast reviewing them, whether it was just me and Jamie or one of our amazing guest reviewers.  I was also lucky enough to interview so many people I have admired throughout my sequel-loving life that includes a legendary vicious boss, Hollywood's go-to Bug Wrangler, another Jason Voorhees victim, stunt artists, directors, script supervisor, special effects, and more.  Thanks for being a part of 2022 and look forward to providing even more entertainment in 2023.

We are kicking off 2023 on a high note with our 1st Lethal Weapon and we are starting with #3.  I chatted with Director and Editor Norman Buckley for this one.  Norman had quite a journey to Hollywood that involved going from a History major until his mom helped him pick going to film school.  Norman caught a big break working on a film in his home state of Texas after he graduated from BYU.  Norman did editing on films like Lethal Weapon 3, Silent Night Deadly Night 5, Phantasm III, and more.  Norman's big break came while editing on "The O.C." and asking to direct and they said yes.  Since then you can see Norman directed shows like Gossip Girl, Charmed, Pretty Little Liars, Sweet Magnolias, and more.

Happy Holidays, Sequel lovers! This week we are talking "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker" which was one of the most mysterious sequels yet that had us guessing until the very end.  This sequel gave us some great SFX, which is standard when a friend of the podcast Brian Yuzna is involved.  We talked Mickey Rooney kicking ass, the weird toys, the terrible adults (like always), the not speaking trope, and more.  This was a fun one for sure

This week we are talking "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" which is another sequel that set out to be the last (but not really).  This movie had a lot for us to discuss like the confusion of when they are dreaming vs when they are awake, the lack of deaths, the creepy carnival, the recovery shelter that looked like it was abandoned, and more.  No matter if you liked this movie or not, we can all agree that Robert Englund knocks it out of the park.   This was a blast to discuss.

The next sequel that will be discussed is "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", which is the 1st time that Kane Hodder donned the mask.  It's Carrie vs Jason with some great characters and Bernie Lomax as a bad guy.  For it, I chatted with Actress and Writer Staci Greason.  Staci played Jane in Friday the 13th Part VII, but most people know her as Isabella Toscano from Days of Our Lives.  We talked about being on a hit soap opera for so many years, her new book "All the Girls in Town", and more.  The link to her website is https://www.stacigreason.com/

This week we are talking "The Purge Anarchy" which was a movie sequel that we didn't expect (because for some reason we that it was over-the-top gorey).   This movie had some dreaming of more Frank Grillo-led action flicks because if he was around in the 80s/90s at this age, he would've led so many action flicks.  The Purge Anarchy had us discussing the odd rules of the purge, how you find your purge posse, who cleans the dead bodies, better ways to hide in your home, and lots more. 

This is a video review you can watch at sequelsonly.com/purgeanarchy

The next sequel that will be discussed is The Return of the Killer Tomatoes. This movie had me interviewing the cinematographer from it Stephen Andrich who had some fond memories of working on this one with George Clooney.  Then Stephen's career changed gears and he worked for NFL Films and actually lived in New Jersey when he did.  Stephen's recent camera credits include Cobra Kai, The Walking Dead, Leverage, and more.  I loved the origin story of his start in working for the NFL, one of those right-place-right-time stories for sure.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "The Purge: Anarchy” and for it, I interviewed an actor who knows a thing about playing a bad guy in Actor Jasper Cole.  Jasper's career spans over 40 years, which is insane and a testament to his passion for his craft.  Jasper talked about being in Jason Takes Manhattan, working with Dee Wallace, finding his niche as a bad guy, and lots more. Jasper plays a bad guy but is the nicest guy ever and you will love him.

This is our last Re-Release and it is quite the goodie.

We are so excited to finally have the chance to dip our toes into the pool of Nightmare on Elm Street sequels and no better place to start than with Part 4 The Dream Master.  We talked broke down all the iconic kills, Freddy's one-liners, how they get rid of the dream warriors pretty quick, Alice's amazing character transformation, and of course the karate fight involving "invisible" Freddy. We couldn't discuss a horror legend with just the two of us, so we are joined by Amy Koto to help break it down.

The next sequel that will be discussed is The Purge Anarchy. This is the only Purge movie I have seen in the series and man it had an awesome cast.  Frank Grillo, Carmen Elojo, and the late Michael Kenneth Williams.  It wasn't what I was expecting and loved it.  For it, I chatted with Actor Jasper Cole.  Jasper has been an actor for years and is now the go-to bad guy that you have seen in "MacGruber" and so much more.  Jasper was a sketch performer for The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno, was in Jason Takes Manhattan, and has had guest spots on classics like "Married w/ Children", "Everybody Hates Chris", and more.  Jasper is the opposite of the bad guy he plays on screen and had great stories from his career.

This week's Re-Release has us looking back at the time we welcomed a Horror legend and one of Doug's favorite final girls in horror history, actress Lisa Wilcox.  Lisa starred as "Alice Johnson" in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5.  We talked about her falling on stage in junior high doing a play, moving to California for High School, John Stamos, Freddy Krueger, Brady Bunch, Star Trek, and lots more.  I love hearing about moments when folks get discovered and Lisa's is one of my favorites so far.

This week's sequel has us traveling to a dystopian future where a young Mel Gibson (Mad Max) will do just about anything for gasoline. This movie has an all-star cast with Mel Gibson and Vernon Wells.  We, of course, talked about Jason Voorhees sorry I mean Lord Humongous, Feral Kid (What the hell was he), us both falling head over heels for Warrior Woman, how insane Vernon Wells is in this movie, and lots more.  Mad Max 2 was our highest Rotten Tomatoes score yet at 93%. 

This is also available to watch in video form (Doug has an epic costume of a Mad Max 2 character) here sequelsonly.com/madmax2

Next up is our last Re-Release before my son, fingers crossed, comes home.  This is a flash back to two great episodes that include an interview with Actress Lisa Wilcox (Alice Johnson from Nightmare on Elm Street 4/5) and our review of Nightmare on Elm Street 4 The Dream Master.

When it comes to movies you aren't supposed to be rooting for the bad guy, but how could I not root for this week's guest Vernon Wells?  Vernon played legendary bad guys in Mad Max 2 as Wez and in Commando as Bennett. Vernon has quite the origin story because he had ZERO interest in being on camera, he wanted to be behind it. Luckily a director stuck him front and center, the rest is history.  Of course, we talked about Weird Science, Joel Silver, Arnold Schwarzenegger, his start in acting, his love for being behind the camera, and so much more.  We talked about Commando a lot because his role as the villain Bennett is quite legendary to Jamie and me.  Enjoy this amazing chat

Enjoy this week's Re-Release of Jaws 2.  Not too much longer til new episodes are out for your earholes to enjoy.

This week we are talking "Jaws 2".  "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...." is the perfect tagline for the 1978 sequel to Jaws because this shark is on a mission in this one.  Jamie sees a lot of similarities between the shark and Jason Voorhees and Doug couldn't get over how bad the teens were at sailboating.  Also, you were in for a treat when the actor who plays the Mayor is on the poster.

Hey, sequel lovers, Doug here.  We are taking a little detour on our sequel-watching journey for me to settle in with my family's new little addition, but that doesn't mean we don't have anything for you.  We are going to pick a few sequels from our 1st year to Re-Release because many of you probably haven't gone back that far in our catalog, which we understand since we have over 220 episodes.  We have released a new episode for almost 176 weeks in a row and we promise to be back soon with some EPIC sequels.

This week we are talking "Friday the 13th A New Beginning" which is one of the most controversial of the series and a lightning rod for opinions from fans.  This is our 6th Friday the 13th and we had a blast discussing it.  We talked about some of the behind the scene nuggets we read about, our dream of a prequel about Ethel and JR, those damn enchiladas, Violet's dance moves, THAT ending, and so much more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Friday the 13th A New Beginning” and for it, I interviewed our first final girl from the franchise, Actress Melanie Kinnaman who played "Pam Roberts".  Melanie talked about her journey to being a final girl that started in western Massachusetts with a stop along in NYC where she was a dancer and then started acting in plays.  She even played "Cheryl Ladd" in a Saturday Night Live sketch about the "Battle of the Network Stars" back in the late 70s then landed a role on General Hospital followed by some commercial work.  Melanie talked about getting Friday the 13th A New Beginning, a role she had in "Best of the Best" starring Eric Roberts that got changed, upcoming projects, and lots more.

This week we are talking "Piranha II The Spawning" and this just so happens to be our second James Cameron-directed flick this year... YEP, James Cameron directed this one, well 75% of it until he was fired for taking too many shots. For this one, we brought back our buddy Nick, who has helped us make sense of Munchie, Ghoulies, and more.  Nick came prepared with some behind the scene stories and even noticed some parts of Piranha II that would show up in later James Cameron flicks.  Piranha II had us discussing flying fish, boating a boat, an odd relationship with Anne and her son, dynamite fishing, and more.

The next sequel that will be discussed is a Friday the 13th even though we don't have any more Friday the 13ths this year and we are doing Part V: A New Beginning. This movie is the Halloween III of the Jason Voorhees saga because it tried something new that a lot of fans love and hate, it's quite the lightning rod.  I was lucky enough to interview the Final Girl from it, our 1st Friday the 13th Survivor, Pam Roberts herself actress Melanie Kinnaman.  Melanie talked about growing up in Boston, becoming a dancer in NYC, doing broadway and off broadway, her big-time commercials she did, landing Friday the 13th, a wild story about "Best of the Best", and more.  I loved talking to Melanie about her career and we had a lot of laughs.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Piranha II: The Spawning” and for it, I interviewed Actress, Singer, and Activist Carole Davis.  Carole grew up with her first love of singing where she was singing all over the world, but then after going to an audition just to support a friend, she was called in to audition and got it. The movie didn't matter because she chose most of her roles based on where they were being shot.  Carole was in so many great movies like Mannequin, The Flamingo Kid, The Shrimp on the Barbie, and more. But, I also enjoyed hearing about her singing career which includes stories involving Prince, getting the job as singing the end credit song for "Love Potion no. 9" (I linked it below for you to listen to because it's awesome), and more.  Amazing chat!

This week we are talking "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" which I went thinking this was the 3rd film in the series, but sadly mistaken.  This is a sequel that took a sorta joke and turned it into a franchise that people love, Jamie not so much.  We discussed the main plot of the movie is wrong, the time traveling, the many borrowed movie quotes, Dee Snider crushing it, and so much more.  These sharknados seem to follow Fin and the gang, but you be the judge.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "Piranha II: The Spawning" which is directed by James Cameron.  This movie got me the chance to chat with an actress who we loved in Mannequin and The Flamingo Kid, Actress Carole Davis.  Carole talked about how she sorta accidentally got into acting, her amazing singing career that includes singing the end title credits for "Love Potion no. 9" starring Sandra Bullock plus a story involving Prince that you'll have to hear to believe.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time” and I got to interview Actor Patrick Labyorteaux.  Patrick and I connected on Twitter when I was talking about his character from a sequel we covered a few months back in "Ghoulies go to College" and he replied! Patrick was a blast to chat with about his origin story, being a child actor, reinventing himself as a jock, Summer School, voiceover work, and more.  Patrick loves acting but also loves Hollywood, which was an absolute blast.

This week we are talking "Escape from LA" which we wanted to love because the cast is top notch; Russell, Keach, Buscemi, and more, but unfortunately we did not.  There were a lot of similarities between the 1st one and a lot of oddities that Carpenter believed 2013 would look like, so we had our action sequel expert Andrew Powers help us break it down.  We discussed Peter Fonda surfing, basketball to the death, Jose Cuervo Jones, the president's daughter stealing Air Force 3, the odd value of a dollar, and more.  I wish we got the Escape from Cleveland they mentioned A TON of times in this film.

This week, we discuss "Mannequin 2: On the Move", which is honestly one of the best sequels we've covered this year.  This movie has the perfect 80s/90s feel to it and a great cast that has a young Kristy Swanson, William Ragsdale, Stuart Pankin, Meshach Taylor,, and Terry Kiser absolutely CRUSHING IT!  Does this movie have plot holes? Yes, it's like swiss cheese, but it doesn't even matter because it is still hilarious.  We discuss kissing mannequins, sexy vs sporty perfume, broadway shows put on by a department store, the german Three Stooges, and more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Escape From LA” and for it, I interviewed legendary character actor Peter Jason.  Peter said he was a jock in high school and was convinced by a girl to try out for school play and HE GOT IT, from that moment on he did every play he could.  Peter talked about how he worked with John Wayne, John Carpenter, the spiders in Arachnophobia, shooting commercials in New Jersey in the 70s, landing Deadwood, and more.  Peter has a new movie out on VOD 5/31 called "Deep in the Forest" (link to the trailer below)

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Mannequin Two” which is happening because I interviewed an actor who I absolutely love in Stuart Pankin.  Stuart started his journey because he loved hamming it up at his family dinners growing up in Philadelphia.  We talked about how he landed his 1st job in Hollywood which involves him singing a parody song with Kevin Kline playing piano, so cool.  Stuart is hilarious on-screen and off because he had me cracking up a lot during this chat.   Stuart has a new movie out on VOD 5/31 called "Deep in the Forest" (link to the trailer below)

This week, we discuss "Jason X" aka Jason Goes to Space.  It's Friday the 13th this week, so we are required by sequel law to review one and we picked a doozy. I admittedly never gave this one an honest chance when I rented it at 15 years old, but I had a lot of fun 20 years later.  We discussed the reason this movie is set in the future, possible other plots for future installments, the terrible professor, nano spiders, the epic kills, and more.  

This is a video review you can watch at sequelsonly.com/JasonX

The next two weeks are back-to-back interviews with two AMAZING actors who I grew up on, Stuart Pankin and Peter Jason.  They are both in a new film that premieres VOD on 5/31 called "Deep in the Forest".  See the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdV7us5FQvg

Stuart Pankin is an actor who grew up in Philadelphia and went on to be in all your favorite tv and movies growing up like The Dirt Bike Kid, Mannequin 2 (which we are covering), Arachnophobia, Not Necessarily the News, Knots Landing, the voice of Earl Sinclair on The Dinosaurs, and more.  Stuart was a hoot and loved talking about how his journey to Hollywood began.

Peter Jason is an actor who has worked with everyone from John Wayne to Spielberg to Donald Pleasance to James Garner and he loves talking about the old Hollywood.  If it wasn't for a girl he had a crush on senior year, he would have never tried out for the school play and it was instant love.  Peter's credits include They Live, Gunsmoke, Deadwood, Arachnophobia, Escape from LA(which we are covering), Baskets, and more.   Peter and Stuart became dear friends on the set of Arachnophobia and have been buddies ever since.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Jason X” and that has given me the chance to interview Script Supervisor Daniela Saioni, who is the 1st script supervisor I have ever chatted with.  Daniela is from Toronto and had an interesting journey to becoming an internationally known script supervisor which was inspired by Jim Morrison, started with a job in editing, Boondock Saints, and so much more.  I loved picking her brain about what a script supervisor does and IT IS A LOT.  Great chat.

This week we are discussing "The Predator" from 2018 which gave us a lot to discuss. This movie had so many plots that we had to bring back our horror sequel expert Chris Egan for an eighth time to break it all down.  We discussed the tropey bullies who say "juicy ass burger", the many different Predators, the use of medical disorders for low brow humor, Jacob Trembley outkilling The Predator, and more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "The Predator” and I am interviewing an actor who I have in so much over the years in Garry Chalk like "The Fly II", "Freddy vs Jason", "Stargate SG-1", and more.  Plus, Garry's voice credits include so many of my childhood favorites like "Camp Candy", "GI Joe", "Transformers", "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", and more.  I loved that Garry only pursued a career in acting because of a stock market crash and that made him leave finance.  I loved hearing about how "The Fly II" and the role of "Scorby" was a turning point in his career.  Garry also talked about how voice acting started, Freddy vs Jason, Charles Bronson, taking care of his fans, and more.  Great chat.

Playball!  Baseball is back and to celebrate, we are discussing "Major League Back to the Minors".  This movie turns the reigns of the franchise over to Scott Bakula, who is aging minor league pitcher Gus Cantrell.  This sequel had a lot for us to discuss like the switch from the Indians to the Twins, Ted McGinley's insane portrayal of "Huff", the confusion that a AAA team is signing aging veterans off the street (and from his mini-golf course), why tennis comedies wouldn't work, the lack of players with names, and more. Scott Bakula and Ted McGinley have such a rivalry in this movie kinda like Jamie and me while discussing this one.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "The Predator".  For this sequel, I interviewed actor and voice actor Garry Chalk.  Garry is someone who I KNOW you have heard over the years or have seen because he has over 400 credits.  Garry's acting career took off after his role of "Scorby" in "The Fly II" and from there he went on to be in Freddy vs Jason, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses II, The Sea Wolf w/ Charles Bronson, and lots more.  Plus he's lent his voice to The New Adventures of He-Man, Reboot, Sonic the Hedgehog, Megaman, and a ton more.  Great chat about his career and so many great memories that he shared with me.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Major League: Back to the Minors” in honor of baseball season starting. I had the pleasure of interviewing Cinematographer Charles Papert who worked as a Steadicam operator on "Major League: Back to the Minors" and it was his 1st big studio movie.  Once Charles had his mind on a career in film, he was determined and you will hear a story that shows that.  Charles was a Steadicam operator on "American History X", "Office Space", and more.  Then he went on to be the Cinematographer on "Scrubs", "Key & Peele", "Kenan", and lots more.  Great chat that includes my dad's favorite song Foreigner's "Urgent".

This week we are discussing one of the greatest sequels of all time "Aliens".  This movie has quite the cast and the SFX still holds up 36 years later.  We discuss if Ripley is a villain, Doug's possible dislike of cats, the odd 57-year-old grudge, aliens using an elevator, and so much more.  So happy to have finally covered this legendary sequel.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "Major League 3: Back to the Minors", just in time for the start of the baseball season. For this sequel, I interviewed Steadicam operator and cinematographer Charles Papert.  Major League 3 was his 1st studio movie and he showed me some amazing behind the scene photos he took from it.  Charles talked about how he left NYU because he was impatient, was on the set of Ghostbusters for a day, American History X, Key & Peele, playing saxophone, and more.  Charles's website is charlespapert.com

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Aliens”, which is on our "Mt. Rushmore" of movie sequels and I was lucky enough to interview Actor Ricco Ross about his career.  Ricco played "Private Frost" in the movie and had so many great behind the scene tidbits to tell plus we talked about his role of "The Cuban" in "Death Wish 3".  I loved Ricco's origin story and how a teacher during his freshman year of high school pushed him to do the school play, which led to an amazing career.  Ricco had stories about Ken Wahl, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron, Whitney Houston, and more.  Awesome chat!

This week we are discussing "Ghoulies Go To College" in honor of college spring break and wow does this movie deliver on the craziness because this is the 1st installment that has the Ghoulies speaking.  We brought back Nick, who is our creature expert, to help us break this one down.  We discussed the difference between "a Prank, a Yank, and a Crank", the actor who voices the cat Ghoulie, the Billy Zabka-like villain, the creepy security guard, and more.  PANCAKE!

The next sequel that will be discussed next is  "Aliens ", which is on the Mt. Rushmore of movie sequels.  I was lucky enough to interview Ricco Ross who played Frost.  Ricco and I 1st connected when we were doing the "Death Wish 3" reunion for Charles Bronson's 100th birthday, but he had something come up, but we did it.  Ricco is an actor, who during his first year out of college he booked reoccurring roles on "Hill St. Blues" & "The Young & the Restless". Soon afterward, feeling type-cast, he decided to study Shakespeare for a year in England at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA). That year turned into 13 years of living abroad. There he got "Dirty Dozen 2" and became friends with Ken Wahl (great story about Ken), "Death Wish 3", "Aliens", and actually got "Full Metal Jacket", but that’s a story you gotta hear.  Great chat.

This week we are discussing "The Hangover Part III" and this is the conclusion to one of the funniest comedy franchises ever that elevated the 3 actors to stardom, individually in their own way. This movie needed to figure out a way to finish a franchise, which is hard to do, but they perfectly had some great callbacks to the first two films and introduced John Goodman as the villain. We discussed Alan's love for Phil, "Fluffers, Buffers, and Farters", Chow becoming an action star, and so much more.

This week we are celebrating 2 important dates; November 1st which marks the day that Death Wish 3 hit theaters back in 1985 and November 3rd, 1921 which was the day that Charles Bronson was born. So what better way to celebrate than to get together "3 of the nicest bad guys ever" from Death Wish 3.  Alex Winter, Kirk Taylor, and Tony Spiridakis played the roles of "Hermosa", "The Giggler", and "Angel".  They talked about their auditions, death scenes, personal experiences with Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, and so much more.  This reunion was put together by myself and Chris Rauch who runs the Charles Bronson Twitter account and we thought, "hey let's get these bad guys together," but what we didn't know was that we reunited 3 people who formed a bond on set and haven't seen each other in almost 36 years. It was quite special to see them together again.

This is by far the coolest thing we have ever been a part of, enjoy!

Patricia was great and was a lot of fun.  Then I chatted with Actress and Entrepreneur Rachel Currance who had a small role in the sequel but was great to chat with.  Rachel was on a few different Disney shows and completed a series last year called "Siblings" that is being shopped around.  So get ready for a kick-ass month.

This week we are discussing "Robocop 3", which is the polar opposite of the first 2 films.  This movie is very tame because of its cartoon and toyline that was targeting kids, so this movie barely had any blood, but it was still fun to discuss.  We had a friend of the show Jerry Lou stop by with his Robocop expertise to break it all down.  We discussed the odd plot, Roboninjas, the cast full of familiar faces, Rip Torn being Rip Torn, and lots more.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Robocop 3" and this week we are talking with Actress Jodi Long.  This interview is one of the earlier ones we did and I thought I lost it but found it a few months back.  Jodi actually knew Peter Weller from growing up and performing in NYC and has a funny story about that. I always loved her scene-stealing role in “The Hot Chick” along with Sullivan and Son and so many great roles over the years.  Jodi recently won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Fiction Program for her role on Netflix’s Dash & Lily.  I remember being so nervous chatting with her because it was one of the first interviews I did, but the interview was great hearing about her show biz parents, her appearance on Broadway at the age of 7, Asian representation in Hollywood, and so much more.  Amazing chat with an amazing woman.

This week we are discussing "Iron Eagle IV", which marks the return to the franchise of the character "Doug Masters" who seemed to be dead after the opening scene from "Iron Eagle II".   Also, the legendary Lou Gossett Jr. is back as "Chappy" for the 4th time and he does not disappoint. This is a sequel like any other because it is essentially two movies, the first part seems like a kid's movie, and the second part is filled with murder. We discussed the troubled teens that are somehow allowed to fly planes without supervision, the most powerful grenade ever,  Luther the drug dealer, Chappy and a possible "Fight Club" scenario, and lots more. The movie is WILD, but lots of fun.

Jennifer is a staple from my childhood because she was in so many of my favorite tv shows and movies, "Married with Children", "Can't Hardly Wait", "That 70's Show, and so much more. She was even in "Jack Frost 2' which we covered a few months back and had a great story from the shoot.  Jennifer was awesome and you don't want to miss this one.

OH MY GOD! This week we are discussing what is called the "Best Worst Movie", "Troll 2", which means it's the best worst sequel too. I first saw it when it premiered on HBO in the early 90s and this was Jamie's first time. We discussed Troll 2 being Anti-Vegetarian propaganda, lack of Trolls, swapping houses, Grandpa Seth, the creepy townspeople, and so much more. Enjoy your stay in Nilbog and its lumpy milk.

The next sequel we are reviewing is “The Next Karate Kid” starring Hillary Swank, Pat Morita, Michael Ironside, and next week’s guest Michael Cavelieiri who plays the villain “Ned” in the movie, but also was in a GREAT movie from my childhood called Showdown, which is free on Amazon prime and stars Billy Blanks, Patrick Kilpatrick(who we interviewed and that will be out in early May), Michael, and a young Christine Taylor in her “Hey Dude” days, it’s a rip off of Karate Kid, so it’s wild he was in “The Next Karate Kid” right after that. Plus we talked about how Italians are portrayed in cinema and a new movie called Ritornato which is a story about Michael finding his roots in his ancestors’ hometown in Italy.

Next week's sequel is "Troll 2" and this week we are talking to Actor George Hardy who plays the father, Michael Waits, in the movie. George Hardy is a dentist who always wanted to act and while practicing dentistry in Utah back in the early 90s had the chance to be in a low-budget movie called "Troll 2". George had no clue at the time how this movie would change his life forever, but not until after a decade after the film's release. He provided a lot of behind the scene stories from "Troll 2" and also the documentary about it, called "Best Worst Movie". George is the nicest guy ever and you are going to love our chat.

This week we are discussing the 1990 horror sexploitation sequel, "Sorority House Massacre II", which was full of boobs, blood, and funny lines. Now, this is a "name-only" sequel because it has nothing to do with the original and actually has more to do with the "Slumber Party Massacre" movies, but you have to listen to find out how. We talked about all the horror tropes, our crush on Janey, Orville Ketchum, the sorta confusing ending, and more.

You can watch the review here sequelsonly.com/shm2

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Munchie Strikes Back", which is our 2nd Munchie film, and we are stoked.  I interviewed the man behind Sorority House Massacre II, Munchie, Chopping Mall, Return of the Swamp Thing, and so much more, Jim Wynorski.  Jim is quite the character and he has worked on a ton of films with his 1st being the writer of "Screwballs"

This week we covered one of the best sequels that we have or will probably ever cover, in "Batman Returns".  This movie really has full Tim Burton vibes to it and it was an absolute blast. How can you top having Keaton, Pfeiffer, Devito, and Walken all in the same movie? You can't and it's the best Batman according to Doug. But of course, there was a lot to discuss, like what actors were almost cast in the roles of the main characters (some are mind-blowing), Penguin's childhood, Selina becoming the Catwoman, Walken being Walken, Batman actually killing henchmen. and so much more.

The next sequel up is "Fright Night 2" (1989), which is free on Youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQU_e3CM8hQ&t=2266s.

We interviewed Actor Brian Thompson who plays Bozworth in the movie.  You know Brian as the Night Stalker in Cobra opposite Stallone, he also played Shao Khan in Mortal Kombat Annihilation, was in Dragonheart, Buffalo Bob in Joe Dirt, hell he was one of the street punks alongside Bill Paxton in The Terminator, and so much more.  A face that you definitely know and a conversation you will definitely love.

This week Actor Gregory S Cummins stopped by to talk about his great three-decade-plus career.  Greg told me how sports were his way to college (he is one the best punters in the history of Hawaii University Football ).  We covered a lot of great topics from his career like Hack-O-Lantern, Cliffhanger, William Forsythe, Batman Returns, becoming Mac's dad on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", Amazon Prime's Bosch, and so much more.  My favorite part is him dissecting the audition process and how he mastered it.  This is a great chat and you will love Greg.

This week's review is 37 years in the making! We tackled the movie sequel that the horror community has been whispering about for years and it finally was released on 1/8/21.  We had the honor to see it before the public and it was a lot of fun, but of course, we had things to talk about.  We discussed young Clooney/Dern/Sheen, the bands that played, lots of BOUCHARD!, the drunk poachers, the amazing cast, and so much more.

This is our 50th sequel and we chose the perfect movie to celebrate the milestone, "Captain America II: Death Too Soon". We had a Bellevue boy look-alike, Toby, help us break down this forgotten Marvel film.  We talked about Steve Roger's being friends with old people, his flimsy shield, his stoner van, the terrible henchman, the extremely long flying scene, the weird town of Bellevue, the legend that is Christopher Lee as Miguel, and so much more.  This movie was perfect to kick off 2021 with.
