The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

Latest Episodes:

Jason X May 12, 2022

Show notes

This week, we discuss "Jason X" aka Jason Goes to Space. It's Friday the 13th this week, so we are required by sequel law to review one and we picked a doozy. I admittedly never gave this one an honest chance when I rented it at 15 years old, but I had a lot of fun 20 years later. We discussed the reason this movie is set in the future, possible other plots for future installments, the terrible professor, nano spiders, the epic kills, and more.

The next two weeks are back-to-back interviews with two AMAZING actors who I grew up on, Stuart Pankin and Peter Jason. They are both in a new film that premieres VOD on 5/31 called "Deep in the Forest". See the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdV7us5FQvg

Stuart Pankin is an actor who grew up in Philadelphia and went on to be in all your favorite tv and movies growing up like The Dirt Bike Kid, Mannequin 2 (which we are covering), Arachnophobia, Not Necessarily the News, Knots Landing, the voice of Earl Sinclair on The Dinosaurs, and more. Stuart was a hoot and loved talking about how his journey to Hollywood began.

Peter Jason is an actor who has worked with everyone from John Wayne to Spielberg to Donald Pleasance to James Garner and he loves talking about the old Hollywood. If it wasn't for a girl he had a crush on senior year, he would have never tried out for the school play and it was instant love. Peter's credits include They Live, Gunsmoke, Deadwood, Arachnophobia, Escape from LA(which we are covering), Baskets, and more. Peter and Stuart became dear friends on the set of Arachnophobia and have been buddies ever since.

Script Supervisor Daniela Saioni (Shazam/Jason X/Boondock Saints/Suicide Squad) May 05, 2022

Show notes

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Jason X” and that has given me the chance to interview Script Supervisor Daniela Saioni, who is the 1st script supervisor I have ever chatted with. Daniela is from Toronto and had an interesting journey to becoming an internationally known script supervisor which was inspired by Jim Morrison, started with a job in editing, Boondock Saints, and so much more. I loved picking her brain about what a script supervisor does and IT IS A LOT. Great chat.

The Predator 2018 Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

This week we are discussing "The Predator" from 2018 which gave us a lot to discuss. This movie had so many plots that we had to bring back our horror sequel expert Chris Egan for an eighth time to break it all down. We discussed the tropey bullies who say "juicy ass burger", the many different Predators, the use of medical disorders for low brow humor, Jacob Trembley outkilling The Predator, and more.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is a Friday the 13th, but we don't know which one yet. We are working diligently to find someone to interview from the franchise. If you know someone, then email us doug@sequelsonly.com

Actor and Voice Actor Garry Chalk(Freddy vs Jason/The Fly II/Transformers) Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

The next sequel we are reviewing is "The Predator” and I am interviewing an actor who I have in so much over the years in Garry Chalk like "The Fly II", "Freddy vs Jason", "Stargate SG-1", and more. Plus, Garry's voice credits include so many of my childhood favorites like "Camp Candy", "GI Joe", "Transformers", "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", and more. I loved that Garry only pursued a career in acting because of a stock market crash and that made him leave finance. I loved hearing about how "The Fly II" and the role of "Scorby" was a turning point in his career. Garry also talked about how voice acting started, Freddy vs Jason, Charles Bronson, taking care of his fans, and more. Great chat.

Major League Back to the Minors Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

Playball! Baseball is back and to celebrate, we are discussing "Major League Back to the Minors". This movie turns the reigns of the franchise over to Scott Bakula, who is aging minor league pitcher Gus Cantrell. This sequel had a lot for us to discuss like the switch from the Indians to the Twins, Ted McGinley's insane portrayal of "Huff", the confusion that a AAA team is signing aging veterans off the street (and from his mini-golf course), why tennis comedies wouldn't work, the lack of players with names, and more. Scott Bakula and Ted McGinley have such a rivalry in this movie kinda like Jamie and me while discussing this one.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "The Predator". For this sequel, I interviewed actor and voice actor Garry Chalk. Garry is someone who I KNOW you have heard over the years or have seen because he has over 400 credits. Garry's acting career took off after his role of "Scorby" in "The Fly II" and from there he went on to be in Freddy vs Jason, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses II, The Sea Wolf w/ Charles Bronson, and lots more. Plus he's lent his voice to The New Adventures of He-Man, Reboot, Sonic the Hedgehog, Megaman, and a ton more. Great chat about his career and so many great memories that he shared with me.

Cinematographer Charles Papert (Key & Peele/Scrubs/Major League: Back to the Minors) Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Major League: Back to the Minors” in honor of baseball season starting. I had the pleasure of interviewing Cinematographer Charles Papert who worked as a Steadicam operator on "Major League: Back to the Minors" and it was his 1st big studio movie. Once Charles had his mind on a career in film, he was determined and you will hear a story that shows that. Charles was a Steadicam operator on "American History X", "Office Space", and more. Then he went on to be the Cinematographer on "Scrubs", "Key & Peele", "Kenan", and lots more. Great chat that includes my dad's favorite song Foreigner's "Urgent".

Aliens Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

This week we are discussing one of the greatest sequels of all time "Aliens". This movie has quite the cast and the SFX still holds up 36 years later. We discuss if Ripley is a villain, Doug's possible dislike of cats, the odd 57-year-old grudge, aliens using an elevator, and so much more. So happy to have finally covered this legendary sequel.

This is a video review you can watch at sequelsonly.com/Aliens

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "Major League 3: Back to the Minors", just in time for the start of the baseball season. For this sequel, I interviewed Steadicam operator and cinematographer Charles Papert. Major League 3 was his 1st studio movie and he showed me some amazing behind the scene photos he took from it. Charles talked about how he left NYU because he was impatient, was on the set of Ghostbusters for a day, American History X, Key & Peele, playing saxophone, and more. Charles's website is charlespapert.com

Actor Ricco Ross (Aliens/Death Wish 3) Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Aliens”, which is on our "Mt. Rushmore" of movie sequels and I was lucky enough to interview Actor Ricco Ross about his career. Ricco played "Private Frost" in the movie and had so many great behind the scene tidbits to tell plus we talked about his role of "The Cuban" in "Death Wish 3". I loved Ricco's origin story and how a teacher during his freshman year of high school pushed him to do the school play, which led to an amazing career. Ricco had stories about Ken Wahl, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron, Whitney Houston, and more. Awesome chat!

Ghoulies Go To College Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

This week we are discussing "Ghoulies Go To College" in honor of college spring break and wow does this movie deliver on the craziness because this is the 1st installment that has the Ghoulies speaking. We brought back Nick, who is our creature expert, to help us break this one down. We discussed the difference between "a Prank, a Yank, and a Crank", the actor who voices the cat Ghoulie, the Billy Zabka-like villain, the creepy security guard, and more. PANCAKE!

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "Aliens ", which is on the Mt. Rushmore of movie sequels. I was lucky enough to interview Ricco Ross who played Frost. Ricco and I 1st connected when we were doing the "Death Wish 3" reunion for Charles Bronson's 100th birthday, but he had something come up, but we did it. Ricco is an actor, who during his first year out of college he booked reoccurring roles on "Hill St. Blues" & "The Young & the Restless". Soon afterward, feeling type-cast, he decided to study Shakespeare for a year in England at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA). That year turned into 13 years of living abroad. There he got "Dirty Dozen 2" and became friends with Ken Wahl (great story about Ken), "Death Wish 3", "Aliens", and actually got "Full Metal Jacket", but that’s a story you gotta hear. Great chat.
