  Aug 27, 20262h 3mS1

  This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel is going back into action with Lethal Weapon 4 , the fourth and final installment of the original Lethal Weapon series. With Riggs and Murtaugh getting older, babies on the way, Leo Getz back in the mix, and a new villain who can actually go toe-to-toe with Riggs and Murtaugh, there's A LOT happening in this one. We dig into everything, including: Riggs and Murtaugh's "last ride" and whether Lethal Weapon 4 feels like a proper ending to their story Joe Pesci returning as Leo Getz and bringing even more chaos to the team Chris Rock joining the franchise as Detective Lee Butters—and whether he fits into the Lethal Weapon family Jet Li's Hollywood debut as the absolutely terrifying Wah Sing Ku and why his martial arts skills completely change the action Riggs becoming a father and Murtaugh becoming a grandfather ❤️ Riggs and Lorna's relationship finally reaching a major turning point The Murtaugh family getting pulled directly into the danger The massive action sequences, explosions, shootouts, and increasingly ridiculous stunts The legendary Riggs vs. Wah Sing Ku showdown The comedy, one-liners, and moments where the movie knows exactly how ridiculous it is Whether this really works as the end of the original Lethal Weapon saga Lethal Weapon 4 may not have the same gritty feel as the original, but it's an incredibly entertaining combination of action, comedy, family drama, and franchise nostalgia.

  Piranha 2: The Spawning (1982) Re-Release | Flying Fish, James Cameron & Vacation Horror ✈️

  Aug 21, 20261h 33mS1

  Doug is taking a little break this week after getting sick on vacation, but we couldn't leave you hanging! So we're re-releasing one of our favorite aquatic disasters—and with summer winding down, consider this your official warning: WATCH OUT FOR FLYING PIRANHAS! ✈️ This week, we're revisiting Piranha 2: The Spawning , the gloriously ridiculous sequel that also happens to be the second James Cameron-directed movie we've covered on the podcast. Yep… James Cameron directed Piranha 2! Well, roughly 75% of it, anyway, before reportedly being fired after clashing with the production. We brought back our buddy Nick , who has helped us make sense of Munchie, Ghoulies , and plenty of other cinematic madness, and he came loaded with behind-the-scenes stories and some fascinating connections to Cameron's later work. We dig into everything, including: FLYING PIRANHAS! Because apparently regular piranhas weren't terrifying enough James Cameron's early directing gig and the chaotic circumstances surrounding his departure from the movie Nick's behind-the-scenes knowledge and the Cameron touches he spotted throughout the film The infamous concept of "boating a boat" and other moments that make absolutely no sense Dynamite fishing, exploding fish, and some truly creative ways to get eaten ❤️ The bizarre relationship between Anne and her son and the questionable decisions surrounding it The tropical setting, questionable science, and everything else that makes this sequel such a wonderfully weird experience Spotting ideas, techniques, and visual touches that would eventually appear in Cameron's much bigger movies Why Piranha 2 is one of those movies that's almost impossible not to have fun with It's ridiculous, it's entertaining, and it's a fascinating early chapter in the career of one of Hollywood's biggest filmmakers. Watch the full, unedited review: sequelsonly.com/Piranha2 Next Up: Lethal Weapon 4 We'll be back next week with the final entry in the original Lethal Weapon series. We're talking Riggs, Murtaugh, Leo Getz, Chris Rock, Jet Li, massive action sequences, and all the ridiculous fun that comes with one of the biggest buddy-cop franchises ever. Follow us everywhere: @sequelsonly Visit the site: sequelsonly.com Review, rate, and share with your friends, enemies, neighbors, exes, vacation buddies… and anyone who thinks they're safe from flying piranhas just because they're on dry land. ✈️
