What are comeback franchises? In this episode, we talk about recent franchise “resurrections” and how they compare with long-running franchises like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. We also chat about whether they are made to satisfy the original fans of the franchise or whether they are actually made to create a new generation of fans. This discussion also leads to a conversation about nostalgia and what we are actually nostalgic about when we rewatch older shows and movies.
