The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

Latest Episodes:

Actress Susan Gallagher (Cobra Kai) Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

The next sequel we are discussing is "How High 2". This one has the hilarious Deray Davis, Mike Epps, and DC Young Fly. For it, I chatted with Actress Susan Gallagher who had a small but memorable scene in the movie. Most know Susan for his role as Homeless Lynn from Cobra Kai, but she has a lot of other amazing stories from her career. Susan has such a passion for the business and had some great stories of self-submitting herself for roles that her agents didn't (like Cobra Kai). She had some great stories about her family, acting with her daughters, taking her kids with her out to LA for pilot season, and more. Fun chat.

Guyver 2: Dark Hero Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

This week we are talking about a movie that is celebrating its 30th anniversary, "Guyver: Dark Hero." This movie had to have influenced "Power Rangers" and completely knocked my socks off. This one had us discussing hitchhiking adventures and the unexpected dangers of gas station chili, the amazing SFX, hiding drugs in the plastic of Barbie dolls, the fact no one is shocked by a spaceship showing up out of nowhere, and a ton more. Such a fun movie to discuss. Watch the unedited review at sequelsonly.com/guyver2

The next sequel up is going to be a late celebration of 4/20 by discussing "How High 2" and for it, I chatted with Susan Gallagher. Susan is a southern belle who had a very interesting journey to acting, but her desire for the business helped her land roles in hit series like "Cobra Kai". She was a blast and shared one of my favorite audition stories ever.
