The Star Wars Prequels have enjoyed a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years, with the kids who grew up with then becoming adults and a brand new generation discovering them. This week we take a look at Episode I The Phantom Menace, George Lucas' return to both writing and directing. Following the adventures of Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, Jar Jar Binks and sort of Obi-Wan Kenobi they tackle taxation in the form of the Trade Federation along with Darth's Sidious and Maul. It's a mixed bag...

We finish up the DC Graveyard by taking a trip back to Sector 2814 in the year 2011. Yes we are talking about Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern. It had all the hallmarks of being a huge success. DC was riding high off the success of The Dark Knight, Martin Campbell the director behind reviving James Bond Twice plus a 200 million dollar budget. But it turns out it's not very good or interesting or fun and it looks bad a lot of the time. Thanks for listening! SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Vide...

The Loser's 2010 was known at the time for that movie that's not The A-Team remake. Which isn't the only reason it appears in this series covering the DC Graveyard the other reason is because it didn't make enough money. That being said it's far from the worst thing we've looked at as of so far. Thanks for watching!

Jonah Hex isn't very good. Despite an incredible cast it does absolutely nothing else right which makes it perfect for the DC Graveyard.

The DC Graveyard trundles along with what some might consider a surprising entry. Constantine 2005 has developed somewhat of a cult following over the years with many hoping that Keanu Reeves would return to the role. However it didn't do well enough to warrant any kind of follow up despite being a pretty solid supernatural superhero horror affair. Thanks for listening!

We're kicking off this new batch of Caravan Of Garbage which we're going to refer to as the DC Graveyard. A failed batch of comic book propeties that were set to kick of a franchise or at the very least a sequel that ended up bombing either critically, commercially or both. First up is Catwoman 2004 an abysmal effort despite the best efforts of one Halle Berry. How did this happen? Who's the say. But it did and it's extremely baffling scene to scene.

Well. This has been quite the ordeal. We're finishing off all The Twilight Saga this week with Breaking Dawn Part II, a movie that's the second half of a book that ends just suddenly after nothing much happens. But they've made some changes including a final battle that's so out of left field you could be forgiven for thinking you're having a stroke. So long Bella, Edward and Jacob, wherever you are I hope you're all happy. Except for Jacob. He should be in jail for falling in love with a baby. ...

The Twilight Saga rolls on into the god awful entry that is Breaking Dawn Part One. It's boring and weird and also gross. Why did they do this. There's a wedding between a one hundred plus year old man and a teenage girl and then a grown man falls in love with a baby. I mean they try to justify it will all sorts of werewolf and vampire lore but it just boils down to a horrible time at the movies. No. And boo.

In 2003 the year of The Matrix we got sequels in both Reloaded and Revolutions. But in addition to that there was also a direct to DVD anthology series in The Animatrix. A series of high production animations that tell multiple stories within and around the Matrix including a prequel on how the human/machine war began, a direct lead in to Reloaded with Final Flight of the Osiris and more.
