All Things Being Sequel

The tiny fur ball aliens that will eat anything or anyone set their sights on a Los Angeles apartment tower.We are back, and this time talking about 1991s’ Critters 3. It’s, a movie. There are no strong feelings this week as we talk about why this movie feels a lot like filler. We also talk about what it takes for a movie to become repeat viewing. 

Eggs of the small but voracious alien creatures called Crites are left behind on earth and, after hatching, set their appetites on the small farm town of Grover's Bend.We're back, and we hit the trail running on the second episode of this season of All Things Being Sequel. And I have to say, I really think this is a solid episode. Jeff does a great job of getting us to stay on topic, but Tessa and Elliot excel at chaos.  Come see what we have to say about Jeff's favorite of the franchise, what jokes hit, what misses, and why it still just feels a little off to Elliot. 

A group of small but vicious alien creatures called Crites escape from an alien prison transport vessel and land near a small farm town on earth, pursued by two shape-shifting bounty hunters.New season, new films, new faces? That’s right, out with the old, in with the new, well, new to us. Eric couldn’t take the heat and stepped aside. Thankfully, Jeff knew someone interested; it just happened to be Elliot’s wife, Tessa.This week the gang takes a look at the 1986 Critters. Jeff waxed nostalgic as Elliot dreams in Gremlin, while Tessa mentions having zero interest in taking home a pet Crite. 

The three unstoppable Ninja brothers fight to save their hero (Hulk Hogan) and Mega Mountain Amusement Park from the vicious kid-hating Medusa (Loni Anderson).We have done it; we have finished the 3 Ninjas saga. This week, the boys took a look at 1998’s 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain.While they conclude this isn’t the worst in the series, it also isn’t the best. But it is a movie. The boys open with a weak clap by Jeff. Eric feels like this may be his last episode, and Elliot couldn’t believe how down-to-earth Hulk Hogan is in this film. Come back in two weeks for a new season of All Things Being Sequel, and a few new surprises too. 

Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum are back in an all new adventure everyone will fall for.Environmental crime. Elliot begins with a prepared statement. Eric thinks we may have gone to far last week, and Jeff is just kinda here for it. There is a lot to unpack in this one, some you may be able to forgive because it was 1995, some of it you might not be so willing to. It’s wacky; there’s a last-minute race to the courthouse fun to be had. Thankfully, we are over the hump at this point with 3 Ninjas.

A new season of All Things Being Sequel is here! Each year, three brothers visit their grandfather for the summer. He is highly skilled in ninjutsu, and for years he has trained the boys in his techniques.We’re starting the 3 Ninjas season here on All Things Being Sequel. Was Elliot wrong for picking this series? Probably. He was trying something here, keep that in mind with the next episode. Elliot waxes nostalgic to no ones chagrin. Eric laughs about how even his young children find things to call out about this film. Elliot threatens with a Land Before Time season if no one gets on board. Will nostalgia be enough to keep this season afloat? Doubtful. But come, stay for the slow but inevitable train wreck. Lastly, as it is a new season I am going to take a second to drop the boys socials.

Bonus episodes!A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world.This week, the boys are drooling with anticipation to talk about 1985’s hidden classic, The Stuff. It’s got a bit of everything in it, whipped up for us to enjoy. Eric opens the show with a completely different Larry Cohen and Michael Moriarty horror film, before we quickly get back to this masterpiece. Jeff explains why movies that aren’t traditionally great still hold a high regard in our fixation with them. Elliot attempts to warn listeners of a modern-day The Stuff that didn’t off the way the film’s fluffy treat does. Lastly, Eric accuses Jeff of enjoying sweet bagels.

A baby born to a human couple turns out to be a mutant monster with an appetite to kill when scared.It the 2009 remake It’s Alive. Woof. Is it our first remake? Eric thinks it might be, Jeff believes there may have been one before, having not much else to talk about, he makes the argument. Elliot Casually mentions some time theft at his job, Eric feels unsure where to begin and starts right up with Wikipedia. Jeff brings up how this is a big pro-life film, and Elliot dreams of alternative takes on how he would have done this remake. We talk about starting a new season in two weeks, but we have once again lied. We’ll be back in two weeks with another film by the great Larry Cohen, starring Michael Moriarty.

The monster babies have been placed by court order on a deserted island so that they can live out their lives as far away from normal humans as possible without killing them. Enraged by the cynicism toward, and the exploitation of, the monster babies by both the legal system and the media, the man who is responsible for them leads an expedition to the island in order to free them.It seems we may have come to the end of the It’s Alive franchise, this time with 1987’s It's Alive III: Island of the Alive. This week, we begin with Eric doubting his hand-clap timing technique. He’s fine, it’s fine, everything is fine. Trust the process. Elliot opens up with a joke that just flies right over the head of my boy Jeff. And finally, Jeff reminds us that Eric and Elliot are the true a-holes of the pod, rightfully so. Overall, I think we were a little surprised by just how great this final piece of the trilogy is. Go watch, come listen, hop on the bandwagon. And we’re not done! We’ll be back in two weeks with the remake of It’s Alive.
