We've put a spell on you and one way or another, we're gonna getcha getcha getcha. That's right, we're heading to Salem to fix the disappointing sequel that came out in 2022, Hocus Pocus 2.

The absolute pinnacle of "that had a sequel?" 1983s WarGames stands as both an interesting example of cold war fears, as well as some early AI and automation fears that are still relevant to this day. WarGames: The Dead Code is just a big pile of arse-water. So brace yourselves. Check out our various rewards and tiers on patreon: www.patreon.com/se…

Send your mind back 20 years - George Bush is about to win a second term as President, "Drop It Like It's Hot" is in the charts, and Ashton Kutcher is about to time travel himself into trouble. This week, we're taking a look at The Butterfly Effect and its terrible, direct-to-DVD sequel. Can we flap our wings and make something good out of this mes…

Thanks to one of our Patreon VIPs, the Sequelisers head to the Appalachian Mountains and delve into some caves (and probably some pools of blood and/or faeces). While they're there, they try to fix the disappointing sequel, The Descent Part 2. Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord: www.sequelisers.com/discord Shop: www.sequelisers.com/shop Twitter:…

Are you familiar with the trucker movie craze that swept the US from the late 1970s to early 1980s? Don't worry, not many are. But one of our VIPs is and wanted us to talk about a beloved classic that simply didn't translate well outside of America: Smokey and the Bandit II.

It's time for Season 14, and we're kicking off with a recent film that screamed franchise potential and then flushed it all down the toilet with an incoherent second film. Can we save Kingsman: The Golden Circle, or is it destined to be more of a golden shower? Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord: www.sequelisers.com/discord Shop: www.sequelisers…

From briefcases and statues to sledges and Privates, the history of cinema is full of MacGuffins. Join the Sequelisers for this inter-season finale where they define, discuss and even rank some of cinema's greatest MacGuffins.

It's the last VIP pick of the interseason and it's about every kid's favourite subject: dinosaurs. But, of course, there's a twist. We can't talk about Jurassic Park. Well, that's not entirely accurate. Our objective is to talk about all the other instances of dinosaur movies that aren't Jurassic Park and namely, how come no one can really get it r…

From the earliest days of cinema, film-makers have brought us visions of extra-terrestrial life, from little green men to unknowable intelligences far too abstract to describe. This week, we're exploring how alien designs dictate their role on film, impacting everything from story to performance. Plus, we pick some of favourite extremely alien alie…

From the childhood joys of Babe and Homeward Bound to the existential horrors of Dolittle (2020) and the boredom of Garfield (2024), there have been many talking animals in movies. Thanks to Hyperdudeman, one of our VIPs, we're discussing them on this episode! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sequelisers Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord: www.s…

Film narration. Whether an on-screen character or some omniscient, all knowing being, they're there to speak to the audience directly. Sometimes to inform, other times to misdirect. We're here to discuss it all. Check out our various rewards and tiers on patreon: www.patreon.com/sequelisers Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord: www.sequelisers.com…

Strap on your mask, practice your Argentine tango and set a saucer of milk out for the hideous abominations - we're taking a look at movie adaptations of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals this week, and yes, that does mean a lot of Cats chat. Why is Lloyd Webber's success on the stage so hard to recreate? Are any of his remaining musicals ripe for adapt…

From Robert De Niro and Jared Leto to Daniel Day-Lewis and Jeremy Strong. There have been some amazing actors who turned in career-defining performances using method acting. But what is method acting? Is it the best way to be a truly great actor? Or is it selfish and obnoxious for everyone else around you? Or is it simply a way of branding a set of…

Another fascinating talking point selected by one of our VIPs. This week we're talking about what didn't make it into the film and was left on the metaphorical cutting room floor. Deleted scenes, alternate endings, if they shot and then didn't include it, we want to discuss the reasons why. As well as some choice selections lifted from the editor's…

What's really going on here? Who can you trust? Are your so-called co-workers secretly trying to undermine you? But enough about recording an episode of Sequelisers - this week, we're taking a look at spy movies! From their links to real-world conflicts to the different genres that spying lends itself to, we dive into the realm of espionage and pic…

This was an excellent pick by one of our VIPs because it's FINALLY time for us to give credit to the talented folks who have created the incredible visuals of our favourite films. In this episode, we also discover that cinematographers are incredibly insightful and eloquent through some highlighted quotes. Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord: www…

This one may need a few reads to get clear. But we're covering live-action remakes and adaptations of movies that were originally animated. Mostly with the intent of answering the question, "What can a live-action version do that an animated film can't?" And while there are many culprits, we're going to be targeting that question heavily at the mai…
