Bad Boys II (2003)/Caveh Zahedi is a Bad Boy Too
The Franchisees
09/22/24 • 84 min
Bad Boys II, Bad Boys II, whatcha gonna do when they Bad Boys II?
We're back with perhaps the ultimate Bayhem experience, the purest expression of what purile pop American cinematic entertainment can offer: BAD BOYS II
A truly repellent and maximalist film, one that has to be seen to be believed. What did Alex and Ben think of it? Before you find out you'll have to listen to our discussion on another great Bad Boy of cinema, Caveh Zahedi. Your hosts went to a two-day screening of his most recent works (in progress) and got to meet the man himself. Are these two threads connected in the episode... not particularly but we think it's funny that it worked out this way.
Next week we're diving into the Bad Boys legacy sequels with the confusingly title third entry BAD BOYS FOR LIFE. Here we will first bring up The Slap before a very Slap-heavy finale the week after.

The Franchisees
05/27/24 • 101 min
WITNESS ME! (listen to the pod) PLEASE WITNESS ME!
The Mad Max Saga continues with what may be the greatest long-gap/legacy sequel of all time: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Max is back to begrudgingly help save the day with some new friends... Imperator Furiosa, Toast the Knowing, Cheedo the Fragile, Nux... we have all these characters. Furiosa must free the enslaved wives of the vicious warlord Immortan Joe by driving the fury road and also Max is there.
Is this one of the greatest action movie of all time? "Imperator" Chantel joins us to talk about her favourite movie franchise and the miracle of action spectacle filmmaking that is FURY ROAD. And she'll be joining us again next week to talk about the new Mad Max film FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA

Saw IV (2007)/The COVID TIFF Drew Barrymore Scab Aggro Dr1ft Dick Rating No Loads Refused Special
The Franchisees
09/17/23 • 92 min
We're back with another entry in our series on the epic 10-part anime SAW series. This one's a doozy, we've got so much to discuss. We don't even get to talking about Saw IV until an hour in!
Ben and Alex give their thoughts on some hot new flicks coming out of the Toronto International Film Festival (including Harmony Korine's much anticipated AGGRO DR1FT fwah fwah fwah fwaaaah)... Ben also reviews "having COVID" which sucked very much. We also provide an update on the infamous Drew Barrymore Croppenheimer fiasco (she's a scab now, who'd have thought?) and we rate our first listener-submitted dick, just like they do on OnlyFans! We made it ma!
Oh yeah and we do talk about Saw IV at some point, it's not very good but has some laughs. Donnie Wahlberg gets his head exploded by two giant swinging ice blocks!
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) (with Rob McLay)
The Franchisees
02/04/24 • 103 min
We're back to discuss the 2nd film in the JURASSIC WORLD series, JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM. It's a real doozy so thank god we're joined by our special guest Rob McLay, a musician and passionate dinosaur rights advocate. Rob raises an important question: we agree dinosaurs should be granted rights... but should they also receive the right to vote? Join us for an in-depth political discussion that brings new meaning to the phrase "vote blue no matter who"...
Also discussed are a few other movies we've watched recently such as AFTERSUN, ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME MARGARET., SOUND OF METAL, THE MISFITS, and WRITTEN ON THE WIND.
As always, you can follows us on Twitter (and now Instagram!) @thefranchisees and email us at [email protected]
We'll be posting all sorts of clips and content on our new Instagram so be sure to check it out! Next week the franchise ends with the miserable JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
The Franchisees
01/22/24 • 97 min
Ben eats a bagel, the boys respond to legitimate fan mail, and discuss the stirring final chapter of the Jurassic Park trilogy.
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) (with Marty)
The Franchisees
03/12/23 • 84 min
2 times the action, 2 times the stunts, 2 times the Wick, 2 times the MARTY. The Franchisees (and special guest Marty) are back with an episode covering the second entry in the Book of John Wick - John Wick: Chapter 2! Alex, Ben and Marty discuss the surreal joys of watching Keanu Reeves blow people's heads off, the excellent cameo by friend of the pod Laurence Fishburne, and the insanely expanded lore and world-building of the Continental world of assassins. The episode starts off with a discussion about the Academy Awards so if you listen to it immediately you'll get some hot tips about who will/should win!
Wayne's World 2 (1993)
The Franchisees
02/26/23 • 83 min
Three cheers for perhaps the most hastily put together sequel we've had the pleasure of covering on this show! Wayne and Garth are back and this time they're planning a giant concert in their hometown. Will any of the bands show up? Will it be a huge success or a crushing failure? Or perhaps something in between... is comedy gold hidden amongst the bad jokes, repetition, and filler material? And is two performances from Aerosmith better than no performances from any band? Join Alex and Ben as they talk more about SNL and decipher which bits from Wayne's World 2 they thought were in Wayne's World 1.
02/05/23 • 86 min
We're back and we've brought some friends along with us! An XXL movie deserves an XXL episode so joining the pod are two very special, highly distinguished guests: Mary Jane and Jesse. The four of us talk about the extremely pleasurable sequel to Magic Mike (Magic Mike XXL) and also discuss stripping, thirstiness and our awkward high school days. We also include a special Roundtable Discussion Sub-Panel about Channing Tatum and Magic Mike writer Reid Carolin's 2022 film Dog. Next up is Magic Mike's Last Dance so if you want to play along you'll have to check it out in theatres!
Magic Mike (2012)
The Franchisees
01/29/23 • 64 min
Onto our next new franchise: Magic Mike! Whoever said "you can't make a movie about male strippers AND the Great Recession" obviously never met our personal hero (and friend of the pod) Steven Soderbergh. We talk about Soderbergh, star and real-life Magic Mike, Channing Tatum, and of course co-star Matthew McConaughey. Have you been waiting for us to do bad McConaughey impressions? Well the long wait is over, baby! Enjoy what is surely our sexiest episode yet and stay tuned next week for our Magic Mike XXL Roundtable Discussion!
