Sequelisers

Slick, smooth and charming, Ocean's Eleven was the rare remake that sparkled even brighter than the original, but then along came 2004's Ocean's Twelve to tarnish that cinematic gem. Can the Sequelisers fix the bloated, sloppy follow-up, or does the house always win?

This week's episode has been requested by one of Executive Producer patreon supporters and it's one that has been on our list for a while. The cult classic Westworld was recently revamped as a successful TV series but few people are aware that three years after the science fiction theme park western, Futureworld was released and it was pretty bad. Time to do what we do best.

A juggernaut success for both literature and film, the Harry Potter franchise is a behemoth but the two prequels that have currently been released failed to gain the same traction. As it's the season finale, we felt one film wouldn't be realistic.

We're going straight to DVD hell as we attempt to Sequelise Smokin' Aces 2: Assassin's Ball, the truly terrible prequel to the already muddled Smokin' Aces. Is there any way to turn this film from a potato gun into a .357 Magnum, or will this be less of an assassination and more of a mercy killing?

Know what's a massive misstep? A college movie for children that can't cover the majority of the usual college hijinks. And yet the fine people at Pixar thought this was a great idea. We did not, so it's time to fix it.
