Before Minecraft and Mario changed the game, video game movies were synonymous with failure, so mercifully very few became legit multi-movie franchises... with one notable exception. It's time to watch Resident Evil: Extinction, one of the very few video game movie threequels, and probably the best one to not feature a talking hedgehog.

Finally, a real superhero to end the summer! With Liam Neeson's fabulous new Naked Gun in theaters, Will and Sam are taking a look back at 1994's Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, the franchise's last installment starring Leslie Nielsen (and unsurprisingly, OJ Simpson). Warning: The words parody and satire will be used interchangeably throughout, so theater majors and film theorists be warned.

Superhero summer continues with the high-water mark of the post-Endgame MCU, 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In hindsight, James Gunn made a talking raccoon the best character in the MCU, so maybe we shouldn't be that shocked that he made Superman work.

It's a superhero summer here at Podcast Part 3, and we're going way back to 2013 with one of the MCU's true threequels, Iron Man 3, aka the one with a Mandarin but not THE Mandarin. Also, Sam blindsides Will with the new official Podcast Part 3 rating system that he totally didn't make up on the fly!

Jurassic World has rebirthed, so there's no better time to revisit its most recent threequel, 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion. And don't forget, Giganotosaurus is the largest carnivore the world has ever seen.

Back in our day, we only had a Jurassic Park instead of a whole Jurassic World and we liked it that way! (Well, mostly...) Jurassic World: Rebirth is nigh, so it's time for a 90-minute speed run through Isla Sorna with 2001's Jurassic Park III, a movie made entirely of ideas they didn't use in the first two Jurassic Parks.

It's time for another visit to the Universal Classic Monsters (excuse me, the Dark Universe), as we check in on Gill-man's one and only threequel, 1956's The Creature Walks Among Us. It's a sweaty Tennessee Williams melodrama about an abusive marriage and a toxic love triangle that just happens to feature a fish man living in the backyard.

Podcast Part 3 is back, rising like a phoenix from the ashes to talk about, um, crows. Specifically (and lamentably) 2000's The Crow: Salvation, a direct-to-video threequel so dull not even Walton Goggins can save it.
