Every Wednesday, Liam and Corey take a deep dive into franchise cinema, digging through the sequels, prequels, reboots & remakes that time forgot. Is it always a cynical ploy for relevancy and revenue? What does it take to transcend familiarity? Let's take a closer look and see what these films have…
Unfortunately, a technical issue means this isn't our best sounding episode. However, we're thrilled to have our friend Cassie (of TOP GUN: MAVERICK fame) back on the show in her new role of Sofia Coppola Correspondent to break down a potentially under-appreciated bit of her catalogue.Check out Smithereens Movie Club on Substack and InstagramCassie is also on LetterboxdMitch has plugs now: He's on LetterboxdArt by Jade Dickinson: @jadesketches on Instagram | @jadesketches on TikTokListen to Liam's Weezer podcast hereListen to "Like the Weather," the new EP from Liam's band Guest Room StatusFind the show on InstagramFind Corey and Liam on TwitterFind MK Podquest and Strat 2 hereReach us via email: tmaopodcast@gmail.com"Eighties Action" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

After such a polarizing episode last week we had to simplify the movie choices back into our pure, 80s-ish horror wheelhouse but along the way we uncover deeply embedded vague memories of our past that need solving.

It's me. It's you. It's DADDY DAY CAMP. Enter the uncharted waters of a solo podcast as Corey waxes if not poetically at least at length about the cultural void left by DADDY DAY CARE relative to other films of the time and whether this sequel can fix it.

There's so many jokes to get through this episode but won't someone think of Tiny Tim and the impact working in the mines might have on his J's?

For the beginning of the holiday season we're, frankly, giving ourselves a break and returning to Christmas-adjacent movies for a little while.

When has a 2010s remake of a mostly beloved film from the 80s/90s ever let us down?

I forgot to write a description but you know the drill.
This counts in a somewhat borderline capacity but is ultimately overshadowed in part by an ancient, prophetic message from our past. See also: dying on a plane; crude humour; the HALO franchise.

Mitch making a remarkably bad culinary decision isn't going to stop us from taking a brief trip down memory lane for Greta Gerwig's impressive career-to-date, asking What Book is Little Women for Boys, and capping off a genuinely emotional and fairly serious discussion with a Buzzfeed quiz.

This is the definition of a nostalgia trip for at least one of us so we do our best to make it work beyond that and remember our formative comedy films, the benefits of a parody, and try to make the most of waiting an entire extra week to talk about this movie.

We had to make a very last-second decision to push our SCARY MOVIE 3 episode to next week so, to compensate, Corey and Liam are here to chop it up: some recent films, some slightly older films, viewing habits, and more!

You can tell we never miss a step between seasons because we've already got our first nearly-three-hour episode under out belt and it's literally the second episode. Long live Wes Craven. Mitch is getting cut off.

New year, new TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, same us. They can't help but establish future A-listers in these, huh. Mitch is blending up the monade.

We've officially done this show longer than we've done anything else in our entire lives. Surely this is a worthy pursuit. Let's get navel-gazey as we look back not just at the highs and lows of the last year of sequels, reboots, and remakes, but all-time picks, bits, and more. Mitch is going to plug something one of these days.

When is the last time you seriously considered your relationship with developers and if there may be ethical questions at play? Mitch will have you wondering, as Liam joins briefly and remotely for a PHANTOM redux to end the year. Mitch is speaking with various developers.

Much to basically everyone's surprise, this is the longest podcast we've ever recorded. In five whole years. It's the Ti West/Mia Goth spectacular as we unpack horror's newest It Girl Trilogy and see if they can stick the landing. Mitch is uncontrollably angry.

Liam is away again and in his absence we happen upon perhaps the most TMAO movie of all time on paper and... realize quite quickly we don't have a lot of history with the franchise to wax poetic about as we so often do. Right to business, folks! Mitch is nearly spitting out his beer.

Liam's back and it's just in time to revisit the PREDATOR franchise, by which I mean Liam finally watched PREDATOR and Corey forgot we ever did another one of these to begin with. Support your local Canadian pop-punk band, they might save you from the apocalypse. Mitch is phoning in his plugs a bit lately tbh.
