Episode 124--Ahh! 80s Sequels

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we cover the weird and wacky world of 80 sequels (or squeakels)! Franchises and sequels are a well trodden path for horror films and the 1980s saw a veritable boom of them. We discuss why the 80s were such a popular time for sequels before diving into two--and I do mean this--gems. As a bonus, both films covered in this episode are sequels to films we have covered in previous episodes! Why are horror sequels and franchises so popular? Are sequels ever better than the original? How much incest in a film is too much? Are you a happy camper? Listen and find out!

In case you missed the announcement at the beginning of the episode: OUR NEXT EPISODE WILL BE OUT ON SEPTEMBER 27 AS OPPOSED TO SEPTEMBER 20!! We are sorry for the delay but we are NOT sorry that we are #worldtravelers. Thanks germs!
