Runaway Franchise

Don’t forget to enter our JAWS Captain Quint Figure Giveaway! http://www.runawayfranchise.com/jawsgaw This week, we wrap up the flaming, shark-filled dumpster fire that is the Jaws franchise. What better way to do so than with our good buddy Rick from Chud Report (http://www.instagram.com/chudreport)!? This time, the shark is back and he’s ready to take sweet sweet […]

This movie would be sooooooo good if it was just Dennis Quaid sprinting through Sea World in the shortest shorts possible. Unfortunately, it’s not. This movie is a train wreck of a Sea World advertisement, but like an ad for a theme park where your entire family can get eaten by sharks. There’s an underwater […]

Oh my freaking goodness the best thing about this film is Manfred Zendar. Who is that? What does he have to do with a giant shark? You’ll just have to listen and find out. We latched onto this mystery man because we don’t care about Brady and his stupid dumb kids and their damn sailboat […]

Just when you thought it was safe to listen to another podcast (no, yeah, jk it really is safe to listen to podcasts)... We (bait and)tackle 1975's JAWS. The original blockbuster. The original shark movie. The original really cool blazer worn by a town mayor movie. This is one of the crew's favorite movies, but does the franchise follow along with the iconic first movie in the series? Let's check it out.

This week, we took a different approach. Instead of talking about one movie in particular, we talked about all of them! We go over the best and worst standalone movies (out of Resident Evil, Fast and Furious, and Alien) and crown a franchise king. Dom and Tom are surprisingly okay with stating their feelings, while Ed nearly has an existential crisis. A winner of the Juba shirt is announced, and more. Make sure you check out our back episodes to catch up! [audio mp3="https://runawayfranchisecom.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/runaway-franchise-ep20-super-fantastic-recap.mp3"][/audio]

This week, we have our good pal Juba on the show. Why is he qualified to talk about this movie full of large, strong guys? Because he's a large strong guy who happens to really like the first XXX movie (not the porno, the cool Vin Diesel movie with extreme stunts). We talk about the latest installment in the FF franchise, and finally wrap it up after two months of watching these heckin' films.

This week, the podcasters have some sort of mental breakdown. The podcast room is hot, Tom argues over whether air and wind are the same thing, Dom can't get through the box read, and Ed questions everything like a jerk. So is it really any different from our other episodes? Yes. Because Jason Freaking Statham is in this movie and he casually murders a whole bunch of people with grenades. Also, I think we're starting to become die-hard, gear-head, motor-mouthed Fast and Furious fans. This week in the lobby: Our good pals April Nicole and Dane Smith are on INKMASTERS!

This week, we break down Fast & Furious 6. We talk about The Rock being crazy and shooting vending machines, whether Vin Diesel counts as a superhero or not, and the EPIC mid air collision of MROD and Vinny Deez.  Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series.

This movie is where everything gets crazy, but also better? The death count is up, there's a straight up heist, and the franchise might even take a turn for the better. Also, DWAYNE THE FREAKING ROCK JOHNSON is in this one.  Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series.

The gang is back! Kind of. There's so many races through tunnels that this movie will leave you feeling like a naked mole rat - blind (because, you know, dark tunnels), deaf (honestly, I'm not sure if naked mole rats are deaf but the car noises are loud as heck in this movie), and in the desert (mole rats and Vin Diesel look alike and both dwell in the desert). They also named this movie Fast and Furious, because the best way of denoting a fourth film is to remove all traces of "the" in the title.

The series takes a turn in a completely different direction. Familiar faces are swapped out for bad acting, and passing 43 year olds off as 17. There's a car on fire and some bad driving, and some really loud noises. Did we have fun? Listen to find out!

This movie has the number 2 in the title twice. We shift into second gear with 2003's 2 Fast, 2 Furious. They've ditched the crew in favor of our favorite on-screen duo: Paul Walker and Tyrese. We get HONGRY for some campy race car fun in Miami.  Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series.

We are kicking into gear (get it, car stuff) with a new franchise. 2001's The Fast and the Furious! I put the exclamation point there so we seemed excited. You'll have to listen in order to find out whether this is a high-octane, adrenaline pumping thrill ride or if it's about as exciting as sugar in your gas tank.

This week we hit the theaters with our pal Mike Abrusci (Comedian, Da Snack Boys, TV Casualty) to see the latest entrance in Ridley Scott's Alien saga - Alien: Covenant. There's some Danny McBride, a few aliens, and a whole lot of dumb people in space. SPOILER ALERT: the plot is discussed, if you don't want to hear about it then it's best to hold off on this episode until after you've seen the movie.

We kick it into prequel mode with 2012's Prometheus. Ridley Scott is back at the helm, and he's trying to make this polarizing film an all out think fest. We have some dumb crew members, gorgeous scenery, some sci-fi surgery, and a (tiny) bit of insight into the origins of the xenomorph.

*Nobody's Perfect Edit - Updated with the actual episode, apologies for the mistake!* This week, Tom tries to make this movie as sexy as it can possibly get, Ed talks while eating a donut, and Dom reads the back of the box in perfect “movie trailer guy” voice.

Oh my goodness, I think we're officially off the rails. This excruciatingly excruciating sequel is full of bald Englishmen, plot holes, and one really tricky CGI alien. This week, Ed sings multiple songs, Tom gets excited, and Dom tries to make the best of a bad movie.

Chugging along to the second movie in the series, we look at the ever-popular Aliens. There's way more marines, way more muscles, way more grease, and definitely a bunch of great catch phrases. It's Tom's first time seeing this movie (!?!?).

This week on Runaway Franchise, we watch a movie that we overwhelmingly enjoy. What a nice change of pace! After the stink-fest that was Resident Evil, we decided it was time to watch something we liked! This episode kicks off 1979's ALIEN - a franchise spanning several decades and more than four films.
