Critters 2: The Main Course

Critters 3

The tiny fur ball aliens that will eat anything or anyone set their sights on a Los Angeles apartment tower. We are back, and this time talking about 1991s’ Critters 3. It’s, a movie. There are no strong feelings this week as we talk about why this movie feels a lot like filler. We also talk about what it takes for a movie to become repeat viewing.

Critters 2: The Main Course

Eggs of the small but voracious alien creatures called Crites are left behind on earth and, after hatching, set their appetites on the small farm town of Grover's Bend. We're back, and we hit the trail running on the second episode of this season of All Things Being Sequel. And I have to say, I really think this is a solid episode. Jeff does a great job of getting us to stay on topic, but Tessa and Elliot excel at chaos.  Come see what we have to say about Jeff's favorite of the franchise, what jokes hit, what misses, and why it still just feels a little off to Elliot.

Critters

A group of small but vicious alien creatures called Crites escape from an alien prison transport vessel and land near a small farm town on earth, pursued by two shape-shifting bounty hunters. New season, new films, new faces? That’s right, out with the old, in with the new, well, new to us. Eric couldn’t take the heat and stepped aside. Thankfully, Jeff knew someone interested; it just happened to be Elliot’s wife, Tessa. This week the gang takes a look at the 1986 Critters. Jeff waxed nostalgic as Elliot dreams in Gremlin, while Tessa mentions having zero interest in taking home a pet Crite.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain

The three unstoppable Ninja brothers fight to save their hero (Hulk Hogan) and Mega Mountain Amusement Park from the vicious kid-hating Medusa (Loni Anderson). We have done it; we have finished the 3 Ninjas saga. This week, the boys took a look at 1998’s 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain. While they conclude this isn’t the worst in the series, it also isn’t the best. But it is a movie. The boys open with a weak clap by Jeff. Eric feels like this may be his last episode, and Elliot couldn’t believe how down-to-earth Hulk Hogan is in this film.  Come back in two weeks for a new season of All Things Being Sequel, and a few new surprises too.

3 Ninjas: Knuckle Up

Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum are back in an all new adventure everyone will fall for. Environmental crime. Elliot begins with a prepared statement. Eric thinks we may have gone to far last week, and Jeff is just kinda here for it. There is a lot to unpack in this one, some you may be able to forgive because it was 1995, some of it you might not be so willing to. It’s wacky; there’s a last-minute race to the courthouse fun to be had. Thankfully, we are over the hump at this point with 3 Ninjas.
