Episode 181 - Fourth Films In A Franchise

Episode 181 - Fourth Films in a Franchise Hey, The Magnificently Huge Podcast officially turns four years old with this one! Since the fourth time's the charm (or however the saying goes), we’ll be yukking it up about the fourth entries in some of the most (in)famous movie franchises of all time. Fourth films are seldom needed, often pointless, usually lazy, and rare is the entry that transcends the IP. It’s the good, the bad and the downright ugly for series chapters that either either helped extend the life of a franchise, or killed the brand irrevocably with terminal sequelitis. As always, there are a few hidden gems amid the pile of shameless money grabs, so buckle up!
