Enter a magical world filled with dog-like dinosaurs, wax Robin Williamses and, unfortunately, Ricky Gervais, as we take a trip to the museum and attempt to fix the second film in this family adventure series.

Season 15 Episode 8 - Paddington In Peru

Paddington. One of the most highly revered and praised films had a third instalment that was by no means bad but fell short of its predecessors. So we were asked by one of our VIPs to fix it. But how do you contend with Paddington and Paddington 2? Do you make a sequel, a prequel or a remake? Well, that's Jack's problem.

Season 15 Episode 7 - The Secret of NIMH: Timmy to the Rescue

The original Secret of NIMH kicked off Don Bluth's independent animation studio, and is fondly remembered by many millennials. But the sequel abandons all its ambition and artistry for a cheap cash-in. Can we craft something that better honours the original's legacy? And which Sequeliser is a hardcore Bluth-hater?

Season 15 Episode 6 - I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

It's not quite Scream and not quite Scary Movie, it's those other horror films from the late 90s! I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a big mess and definitely needs fixing. And yes, the third one is even worse than you remember.

Season 15 Episode 5 - Alice Through The Looking Glass

What happens when you get a sequel to a movie that's technically already a sequel, as well as a remake, that made a billion dollars and kickstarted a calamitous path that led to an infinite spooling of unbearable live action Disney remakes? You send it our way of course! But the question is, do we sequelise, prequelise, or requelise Alice Through The Looking Glass?

Season 15 Episode 4 - Meg 2: The Trench

Take a deep breath as we head beneath the thermocline and encounter some bloody big sharks in Meg 2: The Trench. What on earth is a director like Ben Wheatley doing with a Jason Statham sequel, and can a trip to Fun Island redeem this slog of a movie? We answer those questions and many more in this episode.

Season 15 Episode 3 - Sicario: Day of the Soldado

We're crossing the border to fix a disappointing sequel to a modern classic. 2015's Sicario is a fascinating and harrowing story of what happens on the US-Mexican border. The sequel seemed to learn the wrong lessons from the first film so, it's time for us to fix it! But will it be a sequel, prequel or remake? Listen and find out!

Season 15 Episode 2 - Moana 2

Our final, wild card season continues with our first VIP pick. And it's an incredibly recent release - only a few months old at time of recording. Moana 2 went on to gross more than its predecessor but considering it was a TV series that was rushed and condensed into a feature, it loses something along the way. But the question is, do we sequelise it, prequelise it, or requelise it? Check out our various rewards and tiers on patreon: www.patreon.com/sequelisers Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Disc...

Season 15 Episode 1 - Jurassic World Dominion

Here it is - the start of our wild card final season, and we're aiming to go out with a bang, beginning with a franchise that kicked off with one of the greatest blockbusters of all time and has delivered nothing but disappointing follow-ups since. Can we salvage the core DNA of Jurassic Park six films in, or is it doomed to slow extinction?

We finish this inter-season with a HUGE topic, chosen by one of our VIPs on Patreon. Documentaries cover an enormous range of subjects and topics. Some documentaries are even heralded as important records of life and human history. And sometimes, they're about how long you can keep your hand on a truck or who's the best Donkey Kong player!

Inter-Season 14.14 - Actors In The Director's Chair

While there's no clear hierarchy, there is a sort of understanding or perception that the director is the top job on a film set. So, naturally, it's no surprise that many actors find themselves drawn to the role. But why? Is it to live out a power fantasy? To get an under represented story told? Or is it the chance to direct the greatest talent of all: themselves? This week, we try to answer these questions and more.

The cultural and cinematic footprint of the Second World War is huge, spanning every decade since the war began, crossing genres and national borders, and producing everything from critically-acclaimed epics to exploitative schlock. We try to get to grips with WWII's enormous impact on film, and highlight some of our favourite movies about this complex period.
