Join Stephen Foxworthy, Brett Wright, and Tucker as they dive into the specifics of those ’Franchises of One’ - films that were meant to kick off major film franchises... but ultimately failed to do so! Together they examine the people, properties, and potential of each ’failed franchise starter’ with wit and humor without ’punching down.’

"What can I say? I'm a spy."

"All About Arnold April" rolls on as we discuss his last big blockbuster action movie before hitting the political circuit! We discuss Arnold's relationship with James Cameron as well as James Cameron's career. We also talk Jamie Lee Curtis' filmography, how 9/11 killed all the sequel hopes this movie had, and how much we both dislike Tom Arnold's ad libbing.

Spoiler warning: Lots of Avatar slander. You have been warned.

"People are scared of what they don't know."

Congratulations, dear listeners! You've made it to the end of another year! Join us in our yearly tradition of talking about a failed franchise starter from mere months ago -- doomed by the pandemic to never live up to its potential. We'll discuss how ridiculously squandered that potential was, how this movie even got made, and we finally litigate some of our thoughts on Ghostbusters: Afterlife... but you'll have to listen to the end for that one!

"Why do men always go for the tortured ones?"

On this episode, we're going to take a look at one of Wes Craven's less successful movies in honor of the new Scream hitting theaters this week! We'll discuss if this movie would have re-invented the werewolf genre like Scream did for the slasher genre, the incredibly "cursed" production, and lament what could have been.

Here's a link to a great breakdown of the original script compared to the theatrical release over at The Horror Syndicate.

This week, we're eulogizing the late, great Betty White by showcasing one of her only failed franchise film appearances!

"Sorry, did that hurt? The fun continues tomorrow, Mr. Vizla..."

This week, we welcome back our first fan, our first guest, and great friend: J.P. Leck! He has, yet again, chosen a movie to cover completely blind. Will this one be a Space Truckers or an Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? You'll have to listen to find out! We discuss Mads Mikkelsen's career, whether or not John Wick hurt this movie's chances of success, and Brett briefly becomes mono-syllabic?

You can track Mr. Leck back to the various locations below:

This week we don the mantle of "Hunter-Warrior" and do battle with some evil audio issues!

"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wonderous land of imagination..."

So this week is going to be a little... different. Friend of the podcast, J.P. Leck (endlesselsewhere.com), has sent us a link from a place that can only be described as "somewhere else." A place where Jaws never became a franchise and a couple of guys who sound a lot like us discuss what might (or might not?) have been. They talk about Spielberg's major influence on their childhoods, the incredibly troubled production, and what a sequel to Jaws would have looked like. Strange... and also unusual.

Stick around afterwards, though, to hear the real us become inspired to talk about our Top Five Steven Spielberg films!

"You people sit tight, hold the fort, and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president."

Welcome aboard the Pork Chop Express! This week, we're joined by one of Stephen's long-time friends, Landon, as we discuss one of his nostalgic favorites.

You can find Landon at all these cool places!
