Norman Bates is dead but leaves most of his inheritance to Alex West (Bud Cort), a youth he befriended at the asylum. Can Alex and Willie (Lori Petty) make enough money to pay their first month's mortgage at the Bates Motel? A backdoor pilot to a TV series, this awful TV movie takes a loose connection to the films and runs it into the ground.

Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is let out of an insane asylum for good behavior, but can he return to normalcy without wanting to kill Bates Motel tenants again? Although many critics labeled Psycho 3 as too camp, its giallo influenced lighting and more grisly murders make this the most violent film in the series. Anthony Perkins makes his feature directing debut with Psycho III and nails it on the acting and visual levels.

Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is let out of an insane asylum for good behavior, but can he return to normalcy without wanting to kill Bates Motel tenants again? An intellectual kind of sequel, Psycho II leans heavily on psychology and character dynamics. By the time we get to the end, there are a few too many plot twists.

A woman embezzles $40,000 and is on the run.  Arguably Hitchcock's most well known film, Psycho adapts Robert Bloch's novel into a low budget black and white thriller that shocked audiences with its plot twists and violence. It's a bit of a slow burn at first, but establishing Marion's (Janet Leigh) paranoia helps win the audience on her side only to have it taken away after she meets odd hotel manager Norman (Anthony Perkins).

Set a century after the original, A Chinese Ghost Story III features new characters but some of the same actors. To make things a bit more confusing, it also revisits locations from the original film.  Ching Siu-tung goes for more of a comedic bent than the other flicks in the series. It's not the worst thing ever, but it feels so unnecessary.   Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 ...2020-12-2745 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsA Chinese Ghost Story 2 (1990)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss A Chinese Ghost Story II. Picking up a few years after the original, Ning (Leslie Cheung) escapes from prison only to find a woman Windy (Joey Long) who looks remarkably like his love Siu Sin from the first movie.  While the original was a legitimate romance, this one feels more like Ghostbusters with its focus on the monsters.

Unlike a lot of director's cuts, this one runs shorter than the original. Aside from the different opening and ending to the film, several scenes are trimmed down and reordered while different music cues are added.  If you're not a fan of The Godfather Part III, this cut isn't going to change your mind, but it's wo...2020-12-1946 minFreeman\'s TableFreeman's TableGAME SHOW 10 Miller vs. KleinMiller vs. KleinIn Steve Miller's return, he faces off against Jeff Klein, who has also been on the show before.

After Alex Corvis (Eric Mabius) gets the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit, he tracks down and murders those actually responsible.  Loosely based on the tie-in novel The Crow: The Lazarus Heart by Poppy Z. Brite, The Crow: Salvation mixes up the formula a bit with its crooked cops angle. Eric Mabius is a bit bland as this movie's Crow, but Kirsten Dunst brings it as Erin Randall, the sister of the murdered girlfriend.

One of many direct-to-video sequels that are basically loose remake of the original The Crow, The Crow: City of Angels works as well as a bad photocopy.

After certain sketches on SNL became pop culture hits, Lorne Michaels decided to produce movies based on them.  Through fewer movies than you might think, SNL movies tried to capitalize on hit characters from the show; the 90s in particular was a heyday for this kind of thing.

The edges are sanded off a bit. Instead of Alice Cooper, we get Aerosmith as the requisite band cameo.

Zombies attack a shopping mall.   A larger color follow-up to Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead is a more satirical picture. It's also more of an action movie than the original.  Filled with unique zombie kills, intense moments, and a fine score by The Goblins and Dario Argento, this is perhaps the most famous entry in the series. Capcom ripped this off for their video game series Dead Rising.    Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of t...2020-07-2356 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsNight of the Living Dead (1968)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original black and white Night of the Living Dead. Zombies attack Ben (Duane Jones), Barbra (Judith O'Dea), and the rest of the gang in an isolated farmhouse.  Directed by horror stalwart George A. Romero, Night of the Living Dead combines social satire, quarantine horror, and gross-out moments into one delightful cinematic stew. Just as powerful today as it was upon release, Night of the Living Dead hews to a simple story well told.  Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow th...2020-07-151h 08Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsBlockbuster VideoHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Blockbuster Video.  Video rental stores were a core experience of becoming movie and video game fans in our youth. We discuss late fees and wasting hours browsing walls to pick a movie or game "based on its cover". Mat regales the crew with what it was liking working for Blockbuster Video in the late 1990s.

A wrap-up of sorts for the animated series, this flick has some returning villains and introduces Leroy, a version of Stitch that's all evil and all red.  A finale in a stadium featuring the numerous experiments leading up to Stitch has a fun Pokemon Stadium quality to the whole affair, but apart from a notable somber Elvis cover is mostly forgettable. Fourth time is not the charm.  Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Gre...2020-07-081h 10Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsLilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.  A lower key tale than the prior entry, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch retreads the plot of the first film to some degree. Stitch's good and evil balance is out of wack. Stitch feels guilt and anxiety over this, and wants to leave Earth before he destroys those that he loves. It all wraps up in an ending that cops out at the last moment.  Not the best direct to video Disney sequel, but certainly not the worse. This one ha...2020-07-0856 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsFred WillardHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the career of the late Fred Willard. Fred Willard started honing his comedy chops with Vic Grecco in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s. After joining The Second City in Chicago, he founded the comedy troupe Ace Trucking Company which led to dozens of gigs on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Aside from his hundreds of appearances on TV shows over the years ranging from Laverne & Shirley to Murphy Brown and Wizards of Waverly Place, Willard is perhaps best known for his quirky roles in the mockumentary films...2020-06-0838 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsLilo & Stitch (2002)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Lilo & Stitch. An alien crash lands in on Kaua'i, Hawaii. Chaos ensues as intergalactic bounty hunters attempt to retrieve it.  Released in the death throes of Disney's 2D animated feature period, Lilo & Stitch was a surprising hit. Given a mandate at a company retreat to pitch a lower budget feature along the lines of Dumbo, first-time writer-directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois crafted an original story so successful it spawned a ton of sequels and 3 television series: one in the US, one in China, and one in Japan.

Self isolation mandates have been in place around the globe in several countries for months now. Movie theaters have had to close up shop and peddle their wares as pricey rentals for $19.99. However, this is cheaper than a date at the movies. We pontificate on how this might affect the movie theater experience going forward, the continuing decline of physical media, and once again lament what society has lost from the vanishing of movie rental stores.  2020-05-151h 05Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsJay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) (GUEST: Nathan Rabin Author of The Weird Accordion To Al and Co-Author of Postal)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

The yakuza go legit by becoming a political party.  A nice coda to the original quintet of flicks in this series, Final Episode features the same combination of complicated plotting, rare comedy, and fierce action.

Police close in on the yakuza as their battles become more brazen. Featuring a thick plot as always, Police Tactics opens up the scope a little bit. You start to get the feeling the yakuza are on the run. The ending makes it feel like the last of the series, but we have one more in the core series to go.  Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page...2020-04-171h 13Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsProxy War (1973)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Proxy War, the fourth film in the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series. Violence between yakuza gangs continues with great relish.  A return to the complicated plotting of the original, Proxy War ratchets up the wealth and sloppiness of the rival yakuza families. Characters and plot twists assault the viewer with the series' typical ferocity. A solid effort, Proxy War feels more like a direct sequel to the first flick than the more intimate Hiroshima Death Match.  Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Seq...2020-04-041h 07Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsStuart GordonHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the career of the late Stuart Gordon.

A man from the streets joins a yakuza gang as an assassin, but a doomed romance muddies the water. Having a more focused narrative than other films in the saga, Hiroshima Death Match veers away from plot and onto character to great effect. The personal favorite film of long-time series screenwriter Kazuo Kasahara, in some ways this movie makes a better entry point to the series than the first with its less complicated narrative.  2020-03-191h 03Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsBattles Without Honor and Humanity (1973)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original Battles Without Honor and Humanity. A man chops off his finger when he doesn't need to and gets caught in the crossfire of warring Japanese gangsters. The start to the acclaimed 5-film yakuza saga, this has often been referred to as the Japanese Godfather. However, these films are quite different. The mob is not romanticized but criticized. Full of backstabbing, murder, and a whiff of comedy, this first entry provides good context for the rise of the yakuza after World War II.  Huge thanks to P...2020-03-111h 35Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSequelcast 2 and FriendsHome Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) (GUEST: Josh Miller Writer for CHUD)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, Jersey Jason, and guest Josh Miller (writer for CHUD) discuss Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. A boy mutilates two robbers in New York City and racks up credit card bills illegally. A near remake of the original hit, Home Alone 2 lacks the warmth of the original. The violence is worse. Smoothing things out a little are a pair of creepy hotel staffers played by Tim Curry and Rob Schneider. Believe it or not, the sequels are even lazier.
