  • Fan-flipping-tastic

    A brilliant and easy to listen to podcast for film fans. I initially skipped a few interview episodes when not familiar with the guests themselves, but once I was eager for more content, I realised how great every single episode is. It doesn’t matter if you know the guests themselves, just listening to the interviews can prompt you to re-examine films you may have previously loved, hated, or never even heard of

  • Unequal Sequel is my Podcast 'FIND' of 2025. Having exhausted and caught up with all my favourites, including Kermode & Mayo's Take, Empire, Film Stories, You Must Remember this and more, I was running out of options...until I stumbled on these boys. What a back catalogue! My earpods are now set for the foreseable. Cheers guys! 📽

  • Great Podcast

    A great podcast, looking at guests Best, Worse and Dream sequels in movies. Also I enjoy the box set mentality series as they talk about a movie series, film by film.

Michael Marden The Prequel

The Cinemile The Prequel
Q: What is your best ever prequel?
Dave selects Prey by Dan Trachtenberg, praising its standalone quality within the Predator universe and its inventive, non-easy approach that avoids fan-service pitfalls.
Joz Norris
Q: What was your best ever sequel?
Joz first mentions Shrek 2 as a strong contender, then later changes to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, ultimately highlighting Terminator 2 as his best ever sequel.
Unequal Sequel 100: Our Best, Worst & Dream Sequels (with Jack Chambers)
Q: What is Dave's dream sequel?
Dave envisions a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy sequel that preserves Douglas Adams's involvement and embraces the book's quirky humor, while balancing faithful adaptation with cinematic ambition.
Danny Ward
Q: What is your dream sequel?
The Holiday 2, envisioned as a Christmas rom-com era finale that could be darker, more character-driven, and set against a shifted tone—perhaps exploring the consequences of success and domestic upheaval 20 years later.
