## Resource

This is my retrospective of the iconic LETHAL WEAPON film franchise, as well as my arguments for why a fifth film is not needed (or wanted!). In this special episode, we talk about what makes these movies work, and why the challenges of making a fifth movie are simply too much to overcome at this point. I have included a clip from my conversations with Mathew Buck (host of the Film Brain YouTube channel), in which Mathew also shares his disinterest in a fifth Lethal Weapon movie.
