TFG1Mike and Steve Megatron discuss why some films work perfectly as standalone stories and don't need sequels or expanded universes. They examine franchises like The Matrix, Die Hard, Terminator, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit—exploring which sequels justified their existence and which ones studios should have left unmade. The conversation touches on timing between releases, casting challenges for prequels, and the industry's tendency to chase nostalgia over innovation.
