Steven, Benjamin, and Sean take a nostalgic-yet-critical trek through the world of belated sequels; those unexpected franchise revivals that arrived decades late but somehow absolutely slapped.
We celebrate late-in-the-game triumphs like Rocky Balboa, the powerhouse resurgence of Creed, the gloriously unhinged carnage of Rambo IV, and the chrome-sprayed miracle that is Mad Max: Fury Road. We also dive into the atmospheric brilliance of Blade Runner 2049, the heartfelt charm of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the surprisingly potent Doctor Sleep, the soul-searching reunion of T2 Trainspotting, the cerebral follow-up 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and the wonderfully nightmarish Return to Oz.
It’s a celebration of the rare sequels that defied all odds, ignored all cynicism, and proved that sometimes… sometimes coming back isn’t a terrible idea.
