Disney is deep in its live-action remake era, and honestly… we’re exhausted. In this episode, we dive into why Disney keeps recreating its animated classics, which ones actually work, which ones feel totally pointless, and why most of them miss the magic of the originals.

We talk about the hits like Cinderella and Cruella, the “just okay” ones like Aladdin and The Jungle Book, and the absolute “why did they do this” tier like The Lion King, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid.

We also talk about nostalgia, corporate strategy, fan expectations, and how Hollywood keeps using familiar IP as a safety net — even when the remakes add nothing new.

And of course, we go all in on the one we’re truly dreading: the upcoming Moana live-action remake. It’s too soon, unnecessary, and makes us wonder if Disney has run out of ideas entirely.

If you’re tired of Disney repainting its own classics and calling it innovation, this episode is for you.

In this episode of BJ in the Morning, we dive deep into the world of legacy sequels — the ones that landed, the ones that flopped, and the ones that probably should’ve stayed unmade. We break down how nostalgia fuels the Hollywood machine, why studios keep returning to old IPs, and what happens when filmmakers try to recapture lightning in a bottle decades later.

From long-awaited continuations to questionable cash-grabs, we look at what makes a great legacy sequel actually work, and why some completely miss the mark. We also talk about how fan expectations, brand loyalty, and the rise of “nostalgia-first” filmmaking have changed the way movies get made.

If you love discussions about modern franchise filmmaking, reboot culture, and the state of Hollywood creativity, this episode has it all.

We picked up The Black Phone 2, and… yeah, we kinda wish we hadn’t. In this BJ in The Morning episode, we review the horror sequel, talk about Ethan Hawke’s return, and see how it stacks up against the first film and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Brutally honest, and full of laughs — plus our Golden COUCHIES Awards for The Table Lamp, WTF CGI, and The Bathroom Break moments.

We compare it to the first Black Phone and the dream-stalking terror of A Nightmare on Elm Street, talking about what worked, what didn’t, and how it fits (or doesn’t) into modern horror... but let’s just say… the line’s a little static.

Then we give it the full Golden COUCHIES treatment, with our ridiculous awards:
The Table Lamp – for the moment that barely lit things up
WTF CGI – for the “wait… what was THAT?” scene
The Bathroom Break Award – the part you can safely miss without losing a thing

If you love horror movie reviews, funny film breakdowns, and the occasional roast of a sequel that maybe shouldn’t have been made, this one’s for you.

In this episode of BJ in The Morning, we dive deep into the highly anticipated 2025 film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian). We kick things off with a spoiler-free review, sharing our first impressions, tone, performances, and how the film builds its eerie tension. Then, we head into full spoiler territory to break down the story, themes, and each of the character vignettes that make up this chilling and complex narrative.

We talk about:

• How the multiple vignette structure shapes the story
• The connections between characters and hidden themes
• The performances that stood out (and the ones that didn’t)
• What the film might really be saying about violence, fear, and society

Stick around for the end where we hand out our signature Golden Couchie Awards, ranking the best performances, wildest moments, and that one scene that had us saying “Wait… what?”

Whether you’ve seen Weapons or not, this episode gives you both a thoughtful review and an in-depth breakdown once the spoiler wall drops.
