In the ambitious, first ever Annual Sequel Decay Valentine's Day Special, Chris and Stefan discuss the entire, 12-film filmography of the People's Pervert: John Waters! Since Brandon has been cowed by Waters' sheer power, the duo bring in a special guest to replace him for the day: Now three-time Sequel Decay veteran Kyra Palylyk! Together, the three of them discuss the Dreamlanders, assorted meats, their favourite quotes and sickening moments, and maybe... Just maybe learn a little thing or two...

It's the last regular-format episode of Sequel Decay's eventful second season! To cap another year of reviews off, the Decay crew decide to review a couple more Batman movies. And what better series for the boys to examine than visionary director Joel Schumacher's much-acclaimed duology? Join Sequel Decay as they rigorously dissect the camp days of 90s Batman: Batman Forever , a movie that is apparently more than just a Jim Carrey highlight reel, and Batman & Robin , which is cinematic perfe...

In a shocking third episode of the oddly depressing, yet transcendent Gamer Decay (Patent Pending) series, Stefan and returning special guest Tim Rauf discuss Max Payne 3, the somewhat forgotten Rockstar Games third-person shooter. Along the way, the two of them discuss Max's journey from embittered addict to antihero, Brazilian politics, corruption, poverty, doing sick flips off of rails and shooting people in the face, and the city of Hoboken, New Jersey: The Modern Metropolis.

They discuss the early years of the band, the significance of Syd Barrett in their work, their dissection of the ‘70s political landscape in the UK with Animals, and eventually how it all connected to bring their masterpiece, The Wall, to life.

In the wake of Stefan’s tragic death at the hands of a trigger-happy couple of paramedics (bastards), Chris looks back on the last time him, Stefan, and Brandon were together; which happens to be when they were talking about the Mad Max movies. Listen as they discuss their boredom with the film that started it all, their not boredom of its follow-up: The Road Warrior, Brandon’s general uncertainty towards Beyond Thunderdome, the terrifying Candiru fish, and their mural adoration of the modern ar...

You get another instalment of our side show, Some Bad News!

Still strong together and united forever (for now), the boys are back to talk more about Watchmen and mock Call Her Daddy! Again! I guess they really are willing to try anything twice! This time, they discuss: - Zack Snyder(Cut)'s 2009 film adaptation, it's numerous different cuts, and its even more numerous different attempts at making a Watchmen film since the 80's. - The 2019 HBO miniseries by Damon Lindelof, and how it works as a spiritual sequel, an adaptation, and as an allegory for what's...

At the halfway point of a thoroughly exhausting year in every sense of the word, the Sequel Decay crew invites returning Special Guest Corbin Stewart back onto the show to talk about movies from 2020. Mainly though, they talk about The Wrong Missy, Stefan's Alicia Silverstone's career, and, most importantly and in the greatest possible detail, Al Capone pissing and shitting himself. *** Please consider donating to any of these bail funds in this Google Doc if you can: https://docs.google.com/doc...

Is there any rhyme or reason to our existence on this planet or are we all just cosmic specks of dust ready to be snuffed out by the slightest change in galactic air quality? I guess there's not a lot of air quality in the galaxy, seeing as how it's mostly space. Whatever. This time around, Stefan and Brandon gather in a calligraphy-adorned cra...
