Ep. 55: Son of the Mask (Special Guest Greg Mehochko)

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 3 of 3) – With Special Guest Greg Mehochko (Nerds United Show/5 Hearts Podcast)

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their Third and Final installment is Son of the Mask.  The Mask was a blockbuster success in 1994.  When a sequel was penned, it was so awful that Jim Carrey walked away from the project despite being offered $10 million.  Over 10 years later, the movie was dragged out of development hell with Jamie Kennedy attached.  Need we say more?

Ep. 54: Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 2 of 3) - EXPLICIT

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their Second installment is Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction.  Basic Instinct was one of the highest grossing films of 1992 and received numerous accolades.  We got Basic Instinct 2 after being in development hell for a decade.  After rotating cast, crew, directors, and writers, was there any wonder why it flopped at the box office?

Ep. 53: Speed 2: Cruise Control

April is the Cruelest Month (Part 1 of 3)

This month Brad and Jeremy set out to tackle some of the worst sequels.  Their first installment is Speed 2: Cruise Control.  Speed was a cultural phenomenon, so you just knew the studio execs weren’t going to miss out on doing a cash-grab sequel.  Check out the guys’ review of the film where they settle whether they think it holds water.

Ep. 52: The Godfather Part II

On a very special episode of The Deuce, the guys celebrate the 1 year anniversary of their show by reviewing a film widely considered to be the best sequel of all time.  The Godfather Part II is critically acclaimed and helped to legitimize sequels as mediums to continue telling well-told stories.
