Summary
Our exit today has us saving the world and saving our Christmas presents. This week, we are looking at a pair of threequels to successful franchises. First, we are going to talk about Austin Powers In Goldmember, written by Mike Myers and Michael McCullers and directed by Jay Roach. Next, we will talk about Friday After Next, written by Ice Cube and directed by Marcus Raboy. Both films have so far been the last films in their respective franchises, despite them being fairly commercially successful.Along the way, we talk about how these films fit into their series, what makes a good threequel, and whether or not we will get a fourquel to either. Plus, the MTV movie awards, Christmas threequels, 80s horror, Mike Myers, Beyonce, ensembles, stale jokes, and lots of potty humor!Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.
