Failure to Franchise

Trev & Chris 2020

A bi-weekly podcast devoted to infamous examples of failed film-franchise starters. In a Hollywood landscape dominated by giant tentpole movies, not all attempted franchises can succeed. Many intended first entries of a series fail to generate the planned sequels due to low box office, poor judgement, or, simply put... utter incompetence. This show is a celebration of (or perhaps a memorial for) t... more

  • I never know what the podcast will reveal!

    Chris and Trevor’s banter never fails to entertain me with a side shuffle behind the movie industry’s curtain or a tape dance through pop culture’s history.

    I always end up with some sort of unique perspective, fact or movie to watch.

    I followed Trev over from the Kaiju Transmissions podcast and I’ve enjoyed every episode so far. It is amazing how many of the films they have covered I had actually ponied up to see in the theater (ULTRAVIOLET).

    The structure of each episode is similar: Trev’s Intro. Chris gives the budget and box office returns. There follows some background on the film’s development. Then trailer and a brief synopsis are followed by the discussion of the films merits (or lack there of) by the hosts.
