Talk Film Society Podcast

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) celebrate X-mas by talking about Jingle All The Way 2, starring Larry the Cable Guy(?). They talk about what’s missing (sexy villains), what might be there (right-wing politics), and what’s worth a nude from Ale (watch a bad movie = get a nude?). They finally rank where this WWE Studios films stacks up against the other WWE Studios films they’ve covered on the show.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) talk about souls and dogs, and dogs with souls on this all new episode of the podcasting discussing direct-to-video sequels. They focus on Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, the 2001 sequel made 46 years after the original film. Where does this Disney DTV sequel stack up against the others they’ve watched? More importantly, are you #TeamSoul or #TeamNoSoul?

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) extend the spooky season celebrations with Spooky Buddies, the spin-off/sequel to the Air Bud and Air Buddies franchises. Now, make no mistake, this movie is bad, there’s no hiding at, it’s very bad. Hear the Seequels gang make the most of this movie and stay tuned for the big twist as the one who suggested they watch the movie is revealed!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) dive straight into hell(world) in this spooky episode. They discuss the eighth installment of the Hellraiser franchise, Hellraiser: Hellworld. It turns out this meta-sequel was too much for one host, and we’ll let you listen and find out who, but if you’re a fan of the podcast you can figure it out. Don’t worry, if you’re too creeped out by this just wait until they watch Spooky Buddies.

Mike (@mumbles3k) and Marcelo (@marcelojpico) return to discuss the second 2019 feature film by Steven Soderbergh, The Laundromat. Your two hosts discuss the journey they took to watch the Netflix film in a theater, how dark and comedic this dark comedy is, and just what the hell is going on with the Meryl Streep’s ‘brownface’. Enjoy this and we’ll see you again real soon!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) celebrate one year of their podcast and welcome guest Thomas (@NotTheWhosTommy) to discuss the sequel to the DTV sequel the Seequels gang covered on Episode 8; it’s Cult of Chucky! They talk doll innards, the complicated canon of the Child’s Play saga, and of course the hotness of a girl possessed by the doll voiced by her real-life father.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) travel to the deep in this latest episode. The DTV sequel to the film where Samuel L. Jackson gets eaten by a shark is their focus; Deep Blue Sea 2 offers up a lot of good things despite it feeling like a shark horror movie made in the 2000s. So zip up your diving suit halfway, jump in and enjoy.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) go back in time to fight crime with Timecop 2—no wait, no… they actually watched Stomp the Yard: Homecoming, the 2010 direct-to-video sequel to the 2007 original. So, what’s to like about this film centered around a step competition? Well, just listen to the episode and hear the Seequels Gang try to salvage this experience.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss yet another DTV Disney sequel, 1998’s Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World. First off, if you’re basing you knowledge on the real life Pocahontas on Disney’s films, please go read a book instead. That’s just the start; the journey to a new world might not have been worth taking, as our hosts struggle with animal shenanigans, one too many Johns, and the allegory of substance abuse. Grab a white man and listen!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss the 1991 DTV sequel to Critters, Critters 3, starring none other than Leonardo DiCaprio in his first film role. From the hosts’ relationship with Leo himself, the alien Krites, to the new Seequels patron saint Frances Bay, they cover it all! So sit back and enjoy this conversation on the shenanigans of these alien bros!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) have a twofer on this episode: they dive back into both the DTV action arena and the world of professional wrestling. The Marine 6: Close Quarters stars many WWE superstars, including an Irish redhead, a former reality star, and a “Sexy Boy”. So, can this film centered around at least one marine clear the very low hurdle for DTV action sequels? Listen to find out!

In celebration of 20 episodes, your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence), for the first time in a long time, watch a GOOD movie! It’s Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, the 2005 DTV animated sequel to the 2002 original Lilo & Stitch. From great characters, honest humor, attacks on cultural appropriation, and its beautiful runtime of 68 minutes, this DTV sequel has it all! And so does this episode, so enjoy!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) are in desperate need of a good DTV action movie sequel. And in their quests they’ve turned to RZA and The Man with the Iron Fists 2. From the director of The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption, does this martial arts action throwback top the Seequel’s gang DTV lists? Listen and find out! But also, please get in touch and recommend them good movies, for the love of god.

First off, your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) would like to warn you the subject of this episode, the 1996 DTV sequel Poison Ivy II: Lily, is pretty racy. It’s about a student who decides to become a sexy alter ego and tries to seduce her art teacher. It’s a ‘sleazy 90s softcore porn wannabe DTV thriller! So put on your black lipstick (properly) and listen!

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) finally talk about the first-ever Disney DTV animated sequel, 1994’s The Return of Jafar. The sequel to the classic Aladdin is also notable for starring Jason Alexander, not starring Robin Williams, and having Aladdin turn into a mooching boyfriend to Jasmine. Is this a stand-out DTV feature, or something very middle of the road? Just rub the lamp and find out, guys.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss the 1996 DTV sequel to Tremors, Tremors 2: Aftershocks. Sure, it’s low on budget and high on comedy, but it’s a pretty good little horror movie, says the Seequels gang. They discuss the hotness of Fred Ward, Reba McEntire, and meat cubes… I mean MEET CUTES, sorry.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss the 2010 DTV sequel to the 2008 DTV sequel to the 1987 vampire flick The Lost Boys. It’s Lost Boys: The Thirst and we can tell you at least one of the co-hosts on this show was for sure thirsting for this movie to be featured on the podcast (it was Ale, duh). The conversation goes from Corey Feldman, to Tommy Wiseau, to of course werewolves. And no, they still won’t backtrack on Universal Soldier: Regeneration.

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss the DTV prequel to the comedy “classic” Van Wilder, Van Wilder: Freshman Year. It’s a raunchy comedy from the late 2000s that most certainly does make anyone reminiscent of the problematic days of 2000s comedies. You want misogyny? You want racism? You want inaccurate portrayals of vibrators? You got it all here. Just don’t expect comedy…

Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss one of the direct-to-video sequels to the original 1992 sci-fi action film, Universal Soldier: Regeneration. Let’s not even go into the timeline of this franchise, instead let’s discuss how almost every actor in this is indistinguishable, how truly dark the tone is, and… how bad this movie might be? Despite all that, might this be the DTV action film gem they’ve been looking for? Well…

It’s the direct-to-video sequel to the podcast you didn’t know existed. Your hosts Sara (@SaraSorrentino), Ale (@Sick__66), and Shak (@ShakExcellence) discuss another Disney TV sequel, 2000’s The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. And joining them is their first ever guest, Petrana Radulovic (@Pet_rana) who knows a thing or two about Disney DTV sequels! 11 years after the original classic, how well does this sequel continue the timeless story? How good is the music? What’s wrong with Flounder? And will the gang bring up beastiality while they have a guest over? All these questions and more will be answered!
