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

New month, new theme. We're kicking off "CROWvember" with yet another failed franchise starter from the surprisingly-regularly-featured-on-F2F Russell Crowe. But this time, it's a classy, prestige play Oscar contender from acclaimed filmmaker Peter W... more
Our special "Trick 'r(esident) Tre(vil)" month concludes, with the 2021 cinematic reboot of the Resident Evil series. We've lost Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson (except for an in-name-only producer credit), but hey, we've got a crap-ton of 1998... more
For a special Halloween edition of our "Success to Series" spin-off show, we're taking a break from our usual failures and instead beginning our "Trick 'r(esident) Tre(vil)" theme month, with a loving look at a series we unironically adore - Paul W.S... more
"Double-Shafted September" concludes with our look at Shaft, the second reboot of Shaft, following Shaft. Yeah, ok, this is pretty confusing without the years, isn't it? Just to be clear, this is the 2019 version, another attempt to kick-start a vers... more

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.
This is my favorite podcast.
The premise is fun and original.
A huge fan of the King Arthur 2004 movie so was glad to find an in depth review on it. Enjoyed the episode and look forward to listening to other reviews moving forward.
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.
Chris’ fl... more
A fantastic show that really makes you feel like you’ve learned a little something about an infamous moment in cinema history every time you let it bend your ears.
