Sequel Decay is dead. Long live Gamer Decay. After taking some time to catch up and stretch the lead-in well past its breaking point, Stefan and returning guest Tim Rauf discuss The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask , covering topics such as death and mourning, hope amidst tragedy, the game's unique mechanics, its tweaks of the Zelda formula , a naked man dancing on a giant mushroom, and their deeply heated, passionate sexual attraction to the man known as Tingle.

This week, Stefan and Brandon, in yet another display of glaring indifference to the show's entire gimmick, examine Bong Joon-ho's masterpiece (and Sequel Decay's official Best Film of 2019), Parasite , examining the film's perspective on class disparities. Along the way, the boys also explore Brandon's collapsing mental health, the sociopolitical framing of the inhabitants of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Stefan's complete inability to have technology work smoothly for him, and the...

Sequel Decay kicks off its second season with a look at the 31st best film of 2019: Tom Hooper's masterpiece, Cats , in which Rebel Wilson tears off her own skin and proceeds to devour cockroaches with human faces. Accompanied by friend and special guest Kyra Palylyk, Stefan stumbles through the intro and outro as the two of them try, and fail, to make any sense out of the weirdly erotic highs, and the disturbingly haunting lows in quite possibly the decade's most abyss-like psychological horror...

As Sequel Decay's Winter hiatus draws to a close, the boys mourn Chris' departure from the show, and ring in the new year by ripping off Giant Bomb and counting down every* 2019 movie before coming to a consensus on the best film of that awful, awful year. *(By "every" we mean "63") Who will take the Number 1 spot??? Who will be damned to the First Cut??? And most importantly: WHERE THE F*CK WILL CATS PLACE??? SPOILERS AHEAD FOR: Jojo Rabbit (35:30-39:36) Last Christmas (49:53-50:20) How to Trai...

WARNING: There are minor spoilers for The Rise of Skywalker in this episode. If you want to avoid that, please avoid this episode. To quote a badly animated Han Solo to an even worse animated Chewbacca in the Star Wars Holiday Special, "What happened?" That's also what Chris, Stefan, Brandon, and Corbin ask themselves about The Rise of Skywalker. They laugh a lot, Chris gets drunk, and they all try to figure out how the movie went so wrong while the previous two were more or less really good. Re...

New drinking game: take a shot every time Chris and Stefan go on some stupid, pointless tangent that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Because it happens a lot. However, when they're on topic, it's all about the Fantasia movies, why they're some of the finest efforts put out by a currently creatively bankrupt studio, how much Chris especially loves them, and why he thinks they should make a third one, but please not on Disney+.

Hopefully, The Hidden World is the turnaround for its Oscar chances, but it seems the Academy will favour the stupid Disney movie again.

Last night, Chris and Stefan finally started recording around 10 PM, and in order to get warmed up, they started talking about their two favourite films of the year, Issa López's Tigers Are Not Afraid, and Bong Joon-ho's Parasite.

At the time of recording, the Sequel Decay boys had one more day before they found out who was going to be their prime minister, so Chris and Stefan use long stretches of this episode to go off about the election, so we're calling this the Election Day Special. Also, they talk about the films of Jordan Peele, covering its themes of race and class conflict, white liberalism, Carl Jung, whitewashing, and more. It's really fun and totally not politically charged at all (rolls eyes into back of skul...

SomeBODY once told me Sequel Decay is talking about the Shrek movies, but they ain't the sharpest tools in the shed. Boy, was that ever forced and not even close to rhythmically in line with the song, but either way, Chris & Stefan are talking about Shrek this week. From its humble beginnings as a subversive parody of Disney and fairy tale tropes with some social commentary on its mind, to becoming as much of a corporate enterprise as what it was parodying. They don't wanna talk about Shrek ...
