Episode 28, Reel 2: Sequel Syndrome. Godfather 2 vs 3, Aliens, Speed 2, Highlander 2, Mad Max Fury Road and much more
Reel 2 of our latest episode brings you the Big Conversation and This Time It's Personal. This month we dig into Sequel Syndrome, in which Hollywood can't resist continuing the search for more money with follow ups to successful films. We look at what works and doesn't work in sequels, and when they should and shouldn't be made. We range from the great sequels - Godfather 2, Aliens, Mad Max Fury Road, The Raid 2 to the OK but more of the same sequels - Die Hard 2, X Men 2, French Connection 2 - to the downright awful sequels like Speed 2, Highlander 2, Jaws 3D and Jaws The Revenge. We also ask whether some films are untouchable and shouldn't have a sequel, and what sequels we'd like to see that haven't been made yet.
