Season 5 Episode 8 - Tron Legacy

In the eighth episode of the season, we take on a sequel that ultimately is a bit of a carbon copy of the first and one which we think is more watchable than its predecessor but is still a massive, flawed disappointment. We are, of course, talking about Tron Legacy.

As we reach the halfway point for Season 5, we decide to court some controversy and tackle religion, in the form of the underwhelming Evan Almighty.

Season 5 Episode 3 - Battle Royale 2: Requiem

Where we dropping, Sequelisers? Season 5 continues with the disappointing and awkwardly-political Battle Royale 2: Requiem (or Revenge, depending on which version you watch). How do we fix a film that seems more interested in playing rugby than building tension?

Inter-Season - Trilogies Gone Bad

In our first of two inter-season episodes, we take a Patron suggestion (thanks Mark!) for the topic of trilogies that started off well and then went bad. Each sequeliser picks a trilogy that they feel fell off a cliff with its fourth installment and, to the surprise of no one, chaos and hilarity ensue!

Season 4 Episode 7 - Son of the Mask

OK. Seriously. This is the worst film we've ever talked about on this show. Worse than Mulan 2, Return of Jafar and Highlander 2. Son of the Mask is one of the worst films ever made. Maybe THE worst film ever made. So, how are we going to fix it? That's a very good question. Burn the original to the ground and start from scratch or salvage the tiny scraps of decency and try to make them work? Tune in to find out!
