Justice for Jessica! Justice for Ashley! After three films, most of the Bellas of the Pitch Perfect franchise are in pretty good places. Beca is working with DJ Khaled, Fat Amy is independently wealthy, Flo just secured financing to franchise her juice truck and Satan is no longer residing in Esther's body... Yay! Anyway, what about Jessica and Ashley?! OG Bellas who don't even get lines in the summative scene of the trilogy? No wrap-up, no clue as to their future - nothing. This will not stand!

Austin Powers
Oh behave! Austin Powers is a classic comedy trilogy parodying classic spy films with Mike Myers' unique blend of wit, visual gags, heart, and talent for character invention. But it hasn't been entirely smooth sailing - and even if it had, it's been a loooooooong time since we saw anything out of this franchise. So tune in to this week's episode of Ten Things to hear Jeff and Paul discussing what they think a hypothetical Austin Powers 4 needs to be great!

Rush Hour
Few sentences have aged so poorly as "Brett Ratner told me to say it," which is why one of the things that we suggest is necessary for Rush Hour 4 to be a great movie is to get some new blood in the director's chair. But there's a lot more to talk about here! How much racial humor is too much? What's the right kind of action for the Rush Hour franchise? (hint: It's not the Fast and the Furious style) And is Rush Hour just a Lethal Weapon clone? All this and more on this week's episode of Ten...

Zombieland
The Zombieland films are classics in the zombie-comedy genre (which, admittedly, doesn't have a TON of entries, but hey). It took a lot longer than we all probably would've liked for Zombieland to get its sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, but there's plenty of room for a third entry in the franchise.

THE STORY: (40 minutes) Zeus, King of the Gods, hosts a wedding. An uninvited guest crashes, bringing an unwelcome gift. In mere moments, all Hades breaks loose. And the wheels of Western culture’s most awesome epic - the Trojan War - are set in motion. THE COMMENTARY: DID THE TROJAN WAR REALLY "HAPPEN"? (9 minutes; begins at 40:00) In this episode of post-story commentary I spend some time talking about how the Trojan War epic, though over three thousand years old, remains deeply embedded in contemporary culture.
