Finale Part Four - The John Scarratt Holiday Special
We're done with pitches and fixing bad sequels, but we're not done talking yet. As part of our farewell tour, we welcome the Secret Fourth Sequeliser, our artist-in-residence John Scarratt back to the podcast to talk through all the amazing visuals he's produced for us over the past 10 seasons....
-
Finale Part Three - Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
It was said that we would destroy the prequels, not fix them! It's the final part of the finale trilogy, and time for us to discuss Revenge of the Sith. We cover everything from terrible CGI and the worst on-screen chemistry we've ever seen to dying of a broken heart and UNLIMITED POWER! And yes,...
-
Finale Part Two - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones
We're back, making good on our promise for the next instalment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Creepy crushes, kiwi clones, complicated schemes, fake beards, and someone called Sifo Dyas? It's all here in this second chapter that leaps forward a decade and insists CGI is going to improve every...
-
Finale Part One - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
We've teased it, we've threatened it, and we couldn't bring the show to an end without making good on our promise. Finally, the Sequelisers take on the Star Wars prequel trilogy. But in our Star Wars-saturated times, can we even remember what Star Wars looked like back in 1999? And is there...

Coming Soon - The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
We said we wanted to finish the podcast with a bang, so here we are. Before our final goodbye specials, we're finally taking on our white whale. Our greatest challenge. Our Phantom Menace. Plus the other two. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Season 15 Episode 15 - Joker: Folie a Deux
This is it, folks. The series finale of Sequelisers. What a truly terrible sequel to end on. One of the biggest box office bombs of all time. It's the final episode, the final pitch, and, to put it simply, you are NOT READY for how this ends. Oh, and we may have a few surprises in store along the...
-
Season 15 Episode 14 - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
It's our final ever VIP pick and Jack's final pitch. And what better way to play us out than taking a forgettable sequel to a forgettable adventure film and elevating it to something truly beautiful? You're in for a treat, folks. Check out our various rewards and tiers on patreon:...
-
Season 15 Episode 13 - Weekend at Bernie's 2
You've heard of beating a dead horse, but how about beating a dead CEO? That's exactly what the makers of Weekend at Bernie's 2 were doing, when they decided that the inexplicably widely-referenced comedy needed a sequel. But can we breathe new life into this one-joke set-up? Website:...
-
Season 15 Episode 12 - Venom The Last Dance
It's the conclusion of the Patreon vote! Yes, it's time to discuss Eddie Brock and his adventures with his symbiotic best friend. Yes, that includes the Venom horse and even Area 51... But how can we fix it? Can we save Sony's Spider-Man Villain Cinematic Universe? Will Venom finally debut in the...
-
Season 15 Episode 11 - Bride Of Re-Animator
Thanks to one of our VIPs, we're taking a look at a beloved horror comedy classic. Or, more accurately, the grotesquely puppeted sequel bearing the same name. But being the wild card final season, we've got so much we can do to fix it. So are we bringing it back as a sequel, a prequel or a…

Season 15 Episode 10 - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Enter a magical world filled with dog-like dinosaurs, wax Robin Williamses and, unfortunately, Ricky Gervais, as we take a trip to the museum and attempt to fix the second film in this family adventure series. What secrets do we uncover, and what wild card solution will Matt pick to fix the…

Season 15 Episode 9 - Avatar: The Way of Water
We're travelling to Pandora to fix the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time. Oh, and the bad sequel? It's the third-highest-grossing film of all time! And what even is "The Way of Water" anyway?! You'll have to tune in and find out! Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord:...
-
Season 15 Episode 8 - Paddington In Peru
Paddington. One of the most highly revered and praised films had a third instalment that was by no means bad but fell short of its predecessors. So we were asked by one of our VIPs to fix it. But how do you contend with Paddington and Paddington 2? Do you make a sequel, a prequel or a remake?…

Season 15 Episode 7 - The Secret of NIMH: Timmy to the Rescue
The original Secret of NIMH kicked off Don Bluth's independent animation studio, and is fondly remembered by many millennials. But the sequel abandons all its ambition and artistry for a cheap cash-in. Can we craft something that better honours the original's legacy? And which Sequeliser is a...
-
Season 15 Episode 6 - I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
It's not quite Scream and not quite Scary Movie, it's those other horror films from the late 90s! I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a big mess and definitely needs fixing. And yes, the third one is even worse than you remember. Website: www.sequelisers.com/ Discord:...
-
Season 15 Episode 5 - Alice Through The Looking Glass
What happens when you get a sequel to a movie that's technically already a sequel, as well as a remake, that made a billion dollars and kickstarted a calamitous path that led to an infinite spooling of unbearable live action Disney remakes? You send it our way of course! But the question is, do…
more -
Season 15 Episode 4 - Meg 2: The Trench
Take a deep breath as we head beneath the thermocline and encounter some bloody big sharks in Meg 2: The Trench. What on earth is a director like Ben Wheatley doing with a Jason Statham sequel, and can a trip to Fun Island redeem this slog of a movie? We answer those questions and many more in…
more -
Season 15 Episode 3 - Sicario: Day of the Soldado
We're crossing the border to fix a disappointing sequel to a modern classic. 2015's Sicario is a fascinating and harrowing story of what happens on the US-Mexican border. The sequel seemed to learn the wrong lessons from the first film so, it's time for us to fix it! But will it be a sequel,...
-
Season 15 Episode 2 - Moana 2
Our final, wild card season continues with our first VIP pick. And it's an incredibly recent release - only a few months old at time of recording. Moana 2 went on to gross more than its predecessor but considering it was a TV series that was rushed and condensed into a feature, it loses something...
-
Season 15 Episode 1 - Jurassic World Dominion
Here it is - the start of our wild card final season, and we're aiming to go out with a bang, beginning with a franchise that kicked off with one of the greatest blockbusters of all time and has delivered nothing but disappointing follow-ups since. Can we salvage the core DNA of Jurassic Park six...

Inter-Season 14.14 - Actors In The Director's Chair
While there's no clear hierarchy, there is a sort of understanding or perception that the director is the top job on a film set. So, naturally, it's no surprise that many actors find themselves drawn to the role. But why? Is it to live out a power fantasy? To get an under represented story told?…

-
Inter-Season 14.7 - Movie Crossovers
Crossovers seem to be the place that franchises go just before they die (or get rebooted), but are there any that actually produce interesting films? And what qualifies as a crossover in this age of cinematic universes, cameos and cross-promotion? We get into all these questions, plus come up…

Inter-Season 14.2 - Short Films
Short films feel like an outlier in the film industry: a style of storytelling that almost every filmmaker has experimented with but they're rarely given the credit or platform they deserve. So, thanks to one of our VIPs, we're going to change that and chat all things short film. Jack - Portrait…
