Sequelisers

It turns out not everything is better down where it's wetter, as we take on another Disney straight-to-video offering and try to improve on 2008's The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. Who is the knock-off Ursula serving as Ariel's governess? How many different types of terrible dad can King Triton be in one film? And what were Disney thinking when they decided to make this film into Footloose?

Get ready for terrible CGI, mid-00s pop stars and lots of yelling - we're Prequelising X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We dive into the murderer's row of bad talent involved behind the scenes, the woefully misused 'Deadpool' and Fox's incomprehensible timeline in our efforts to fix Hugh Jackman's first solo outing.

We couldn't tackle prequels without taking a dip into the Star Wars universe, but it might not be the entry you were expecting - in this episode, we try to fix Solo: A Star Wars Story. From a legendarily messy production to the question of do we really need to see Han Solo's backstory, we've got our work cut out for us here...

In the second episode of Prequelisers, we travel all the way back to ancient Greece and tackle a truly terrible prequel (that's also kind of sequel too), 2014's 300: Rise of an Empire.

It's our final inter-season episode ahead of Season Six, but before we can get back to fixing the bad sequels to good movies, we need to examine the oddity that is the Resident Evil franchise. How do these films compare to the games? What happens when you add clones, psychic abilities and amnesia to the zombie genre? And why do these films render Tim unable to form words?

Nearing the end of our interseason period, we have taken the time to speculate and hypothesise more than usual. Rather than a few cast members or a what if sequel, we're reshaping 12, 27 and 43 years of cinema history respectively. So come with us on a journey to a world much like our own with a few distinct differences.

This week's inter-season discussion is another one borne of the coronavirus lockdown. We set ourselves the challenge of recommending a handful of films available on streaming services (correct at time of recording) released before 1980. So many of us relegate fantastic films to the "I'll get around to it eventually" pile and this seems like the perfect time to give them a go. So take a walk back in time with us as we unearth some truly classic films. Jack's Recommendations: NETFLIX: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) & Life of Brian (1979) Enter the Dragon (1973) AMAZON: Fist of Fury (1972) DISNEY: Aristocats (1970), Jungle Book (1967) Matt's Recommendations: AMAZON: M (1931) DISNEY: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) NETFLIX: Castle Of Cagliostro (1979) Tim's Recommendations: NETFLIX: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) AMAZON: Barbarella (1968), To Catch A Thief (1955) Check out our rewards and tiers on Patreon: patreon.com/sequelisers Sponsor: Stitcher Premium stitcher.com/premium Promo code: SEQ

This week's inter-season episode asks: when the world is in the toilet, who do you want holding a plunger? We each pick a team of film characters who we'd want calling the shots in a crisis, and delve into what makes a good leader, and who typically gets to be one in movies.
