Struggling to get through the day, one franchise at a time.

Join the trio, and their merry band of various friends, as they examine various film franchises, spotlight single films, and even tackle the latest in pop culture news each episode in their own thoughtful yet frantically twisted way.

The Longest Chat at the Fireside - Part I: We Start a Cult!
In the first of a two-part conversation, Chris and Stefan debate which Starfox character is getting the best top before discussing The Black Cauldron, Sam Raimi, the MCU, the new Obi-Wan Kenobi show, Twitter bullshit, and Chris' opening scene for his, now-scrapped, Woody’s Final Round-Up. *** Below, we've included links to support Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights and Livelihood Fisheries, Black Lives Matter (BLM), the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSS), the Trevor Project, and the Center fo...

Episode 77: Don’t F*ck With The Chuck! A Long-Needed Chucky Retrospective
After almost 3 years of begging, pleading and hounding, Chris is finally getting his wish as him and Stefan talk about the Chucky movies! Starting from the original Child’s Play up until 2019’s remake, they talk about their favourite kills, how the franchise has adapted with the changing landscapes of horror since 1988, some of the subtle (or not so subtle) social commentary, and the weird sexual awakenings that came from the later films in the series. *** We'll be doing a livestream on Twitch t...

Episode 75: Hi, We're Sequel Decay and This is the Jackass Episode!
Should you actually care: SPOILERS FOR JACKASS FOREVER FROM 56:39-1:19:55 It's been a wild week for the boys! The good news? Chris is in the hospital! Rejoice! The bad news? He ruined Stefan and Brandon's quest for Chick-Fil-A! What a piece of shit! Anyway, since Stefan and Brandon have to watch over him, the boys decide to sit back and talk about their mutual love for Jackass.

Cut for Time! Bloopers and Deleted Bits and Discussions from Sequel Decay Season 3
After a very hectic year that included a regrettable 4-month hiatus, the boys have decided to release a series of deleted or extended bits and bloopers that were either cut for time or deemed too spicy for the show. So, if you're one of, maybe, six people who wanted an hour of unedited, unfiltered, (mostly) uncensored Sequel Decay bits, fuck-ups, and chats too good for their original episodes, you're welcome! *** Below, we've included links to support Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights and Livelihood Fisheri...

Commentary Track: Don't Look Up
IMPORTANT: Since we didn't put any ads on this, hit play on the movie as soon as you start the track. Stick around after it's over to hear more of Chris and Stefan's thoughts. With it being the most talked about movie of the holidays, Chris and Stefan sit down and (in Chris' case, re-)watch Adam McKay's latest film, Don't Look Up, supposedly a satire about climate change, kinda? And COVID, unintentionally? And the government? And CEOs? And the media? And the internet? And celebrity culture? And ...

Episode 73: Podcasting is the Mind-Killer - Examining Jodorowsky, Lynch, and Villeneuve's Adaptations of Dune
In a much belated episode of Sequel Decay, Chris and Stefan look back on Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, the book's ecological and political implications, as well as the several adaptations that failed to or successfully came to be. From Alejandro Jodorowsky's seemingly pompous, overlong, and wildly self-indulgent attempts to adapt the novel in the 70s, to David Lynch's inability to keep creative control on his adaptation in the 80s, to the first half of Denis Villeneuve's vision that (thank...

God Bless Us, Everyone! On this blessed Christmas Eve, Sequel Decay finally makes its triumphant return with the annual year-end recap. The world's premier and only movie podcast isn't the only thing returning though: At the behest of the Network, the dreaded Wheel of Misfortune also makes its return as Chris, Brandon, and Stefan prepare to make their escape from Reno, Nevada. Nevertheless, the boys soldier on, discussing the high and low points of The Last Duel, The Green Knight, Old, Tick, tic...

Fireside Chat 4: State of Decay
With the Dune episode experiencing technical difficulties, Sequel Decay returns from hiatus instead with another edition of Fireside Chat, in which Chris and Stefan discuss the hiatus, Chris and Brandon's nightmarish move to Toronto, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and K*le R*ttenh*us*.

Before they go on a much-needed hiatus, Chris, Stefan, and Brandon sit back for one more fireside chat.

Episode 71: Pimps Don't Commit Suicide (A Non-Donnie Darko Richard Kelly Retrospective, ft. Southland Tales and The Box)
While Brandon takes a Macy's Day Parade-related leave of absence, Chris and Stefan talk about Richard Kelly films, with the exception of his most famous one. That's right: We're talking Southland Tales and The Box. T he boys talk about the brain-meltingly stupid period that was the Bush era, discuss both films' much maligned reputations, and one of them does ASMR at the end.

This week, the boys find themselves on the run from Officer Mudder Cuckor after busting out of "Reno County Jail" (they're still pretty certain it's an abandoned Hooters), and decide to talk about Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy while struggling to figure out how to get back to the motel. *** Below, we've included links to support Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights and Livelihood Fisheries, Black Lives Matter (BLM), and Fightback.

Episode 68: The Eugene Levy Appreciation Hour - Looking Back at American Pie
As Chris and Brandon look on in both horror and delighted amusement, Stefan is forced to do a PSA by the Reno Police Force as a beloved children's character and Australia's greatest contribution to civilization. Afterwards, he and the boys are locked in a room to record a podcast on the main films in the American Pie franchise, movies that may or may not actually be good, and are certainly morally horrendous, but they do have Eugene Levy in them, making them officially the greatest movies of all...

Episode 67: Sequel Decay Ruins Your Childhood! Studio Ghibli in the 80s
This week, the boys continue a rare two-episode streak of only good movies, as they look back at every single Studio Ghibli Movie from the 80s: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (kind of), James Van der Beek, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service. Will these delightful movies do anything to alleviate Chris, Stefan, and Brandon's constant pervasive existential terror?

After Brandon decided to *insert wacky plot device to say Brandon couldn't be on this week here*, Chris and Stefan decided to take a break from franchises and spent this week talking about two films from one of the best directors working today: Paul Thomas Anderson! They talk about the turn of the decade and how it impacts 1997's Boogie Nights and 2014's Inherent Vice, PT Anderson's style over the years, Chris' theory about Inherent Vice, Josh Brolin deep-throating a chocolate covered banana, an...

The original, King Kong (1933), the absolutely necessary, not at all rushed and mind-numblingly unnecessary sequel, Son of Kong (1933), the Dino de Laurentiis-produced remake (1976), the self-evidently terrible King Kong Lives (1986), the animated straight-to-DVD musical The Mighty K...

Serving as both a revival and a soft reboot of those original episodes, the two of them make fun of not only the films they’re covering, but also how cringey they were in season 1! Have their opinions changed on the movies they covered in 2019? What do they think of Minilla? Is Destroy All Monsters the final film in the franchise? What happened to Craig?
