  • Dark Horse Sequels
    Apr 2 2025

    Sequels are a tricky thing. Should it be like the last one but bigger, or take a left turn that'll send the story into new territory? Or is it more nuanced than that? Will the audience care more about specific plot or character choices than the overall tone? Let's do a few dark horse sequels—Alien 3 and Quantum of Solace—that don't get nearly enough love in their franchises. Guest: Jon.

  • Invasion of the Remakes, Part 2
    Mar 15 2025

    We conclude our look at remakes via the Invasion of the Body Snatchers franchise with Body Snatchers (1993). After the sleepy town in the original 1956 film, and the memorable '70s Donald Sutherland iteration set in San Francisco, how could the '90s version possibly compete? Why, by setting it at a military base, of course! (Part 2 of 2) Guest: Andrew.
