Tonight on Talk Talk Punch, we rapid-fire through 24 dead or abandoned movie franchises to decide which ones deserve a reboot, revival, or a peaceful burial. From Zorro, RoboCop, Blade, Firefly, The NeverEnding Story, The Lost Boys, Tron, Riddick, and everything in between! We’re giving each franchise two minutes to state its case before we move to the next!
If you love geek culture, dad-movie action, ’80s and ’90s throwbacks, sci-fi worlds, cult classics, and long-form movie discussions, this one is for you. We break down why certain franchises fell apart, what a modern reboot would need to succeed, and which series should absolutely never return.
Let us know in the comments: Which franchise would YOU resurrect?
And which ones should stay six feet under?
