The Everything Sequel Podcast

The series may have waited thirty years to complete the trilogy of sequels but we've decided to carry on and add another for the Beverly Hills Cop series because it's time for us to pitch a sequel! You'll hear which of us is brave enough to continue on from Axel F, which of us creates an interquel that is probably best suited to be the original sequel and first time surprise for our titles. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Daniel Prudhoe Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

Mike and Tom are code switching to lawyers as we battle against each other discussing the 2024 stream, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. You'll hear Tom's surprise that Mike thinks the Red Wings are important to Detroit, the pros and cons of including JGL in your movie sequel and the SNL alum we think just about steals the movie in one scene.  Thanks to our monthly supporters Daniel Prudhoe Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're ready to dance to Motown music as we discuss the promotional movie for a nonexistent theme park, Beverly Hills Cop III. You'll hear if Mike can come close to convincing Tom that this movie is as bad as he thinks it is, whether or not Tom needs any convincing that this film is terrible and if Mike can build up enough "here's why the movie is bad" points before we tackle another sequel that Tom hates next week. Thanks to our monthly supporters Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're pulling out the big guns just like Rosewood as we discuss the 1987 sequel Beverly Hills Cop II! You'll hear why we think this is the best sequel in the series, why we think the director Tony Scott is best kept in a cage like this film and musings about all the guest star comedians that Eddie Murphy decided to put into this movie. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're donning our best suits as we work undercover as podcast hosts that know what they're doing while we rank and declare for the Beverly Hills Cop Series! You'll hear which of these sequels was unquestionably the pick to top both of our lists, the birth of a new phrase to describe the kind of movies Tom hates the most and a fundamental disagreement about which movie should be at the bottom of our lists. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

In what doctors would call a delusional fit we try to convince you that the Pink Panther series needs at least one more sequel. That's right, it's pitch a sequel time! You'll hear whether or not we like anything to do with the titles we've selected for our pitches, which of us is crazy enough to include Clifton Sleigh, the character from Curse of the Pink Panther and which character we both feel must be included in our stories. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

Watching this movie doesn't make you stand up and say, "Ah, that felt good" and yet, somehow, it is near the top of both our lists. As you listen to find out why, you'll hear how much we think the central performance works and does not work, the stand out moments we see from director Blake Edwards and many trips down many lanes that having nothing to do with this film. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're off Trail of the Pink Panther and traveling down a long and weary road as we chat about Curse of the Pink Panther. That's awkwardly worded but so are all the titles in the back half of this series because they refuse to use the word the. You'll hear many digressions discussing the criminal length of this sequel, how clearly we communicate what we think of the Clouseau surrogate starring in this film in the form of many jokes and abuse and what we think of the other Clouseau surrogate that we love. Confusing? Try having to watch this thing. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're creating an entirely new episode to cover a movie that hasn't bothered to create much of anything new within its running time. So much so, we make sure to keep saying that this movie can't even be called a movie. You'll hear why we think this so-called movie is really two so-called movies, our thoughts on the Peter Sellers cut scenes from previous movies and the out of nowhere new story that consists of a news reporter looking for our main character, who could never show up because the actor playing him was dead. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're back to one of films early franchise and talking the back half of the Pink Panther series. First up, the 1979 sequel Revenge of the Pink Panther. You'll hear why this movie tops both of our ranking lists, a conversation about how smart it is to bring Cato into the fold of the movie beyond just apartment attacks and the myriad of parallels between this movie and one of the lesser fare from Bond films, Diamonds are Forever. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

Due diligence abounds as we get back to the Pink Panther movies and rank the back half of the series! You'll hear which movie makes the top of both our lists, the surprise movie we both have topping out in the number two spot and a difference of opinion as to what should be on the bottom of our lists. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

You might not expect the likes of Rob Zombie's Halloween II making our top lists but you still may be surprised what we considered to be the best sequels we watched in the last year. You'll hear a question from Mike about including the Karate Kid from 2010 as a movie in contention for our lists that quickly turns into a rhetorical question that needed not be asked, whether or not we can surprise each other by what ends up on our lists and the one movie that ranks at the top for both of your fearless podcast hosts. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

The gifts keep coming in the new year so we're giving you another Candyman episode from our Patreon, this time from 2021. You'll hear why we realized this should have been an episode on our regular feed all along as this is a direct sequel and not actually a remake, why we are not as enamored with this version as other people seem to be and eventually you'll be able to compare notes on how many ideas at least one of us may have actually borrowed from this movie for our pitch a sequel segment. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

It's a new year and new gift from our Patreon so first up we've got Candyman from 1992! You'll hear why we think so highly of this early 90's gem, our pondering on why Virginia Madsen isn't more of a household name considering her amazing talent and beauty and what we think of the movie's attempt to shift the villain in the final scare of the movie. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

It's time to pop the champagne as we approach a new year because we have a 300th episode celebration to complete by chatting about Rogue One. You'll hear why Mike thinks this is the most successful non-original trilogy movies in the cannon and why Tom thinks it's very good but falls short of the best non-original trilogy movies, which character we both think is the best in Disney era and why we believe the last forty-five minutes of this movie is some of the best Star Wars there has ever been. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

Here on The Everything Sequel Podcast we're carefully suiting up with bee suits, gently coaxing the bees to collect all the nearby nectar, being sure that the bees breakdown the nectar into simple sugars followed by inspecting that the bees are flapping their little wings hard enough to dehydrate the nectar, and then subsequently ensuring that the honey is stored into it's hexagon-shaped beeswax honey cells so that it can be ripened into the beautiful Candyman series pitches that we present to you today! Enjoy it at your leisure. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

We're trying not to say his name too many times and refusing all offers of honey as we discuss Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh on The Everything Sequel Podcast!

Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

That's right, we're ranking the Candyman series! You'll hear which of the sequels ranks at the top of both of our lists, which movie, by default but not just by default goes to the bottom of our lists and we'll discuss which of these movies was directed by an almost prestige director and which one was directed by someone who's race and gender were a mystery to us until we looked it up.
