This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel heads back into the jungle for Missing in Action 2: The Beginning — the prequel/sequel packed with prison camp explosions, one-man-army heroics, and peak Cannon Films energy.
And yes… this was Jamie’s Hall Pass pick, so you already know we’re in for over-the-top ’80s action insanity.
Serving as a prequel to the original, Missing in Action 2 doubles down on everything you’d want from a Chuck Norris action movie: impossible escapes, evil villains, endless explosions, and enough slow-motion stares to power an entire franchise.
We dig into everything, including:
💥 Chuck Norris somehow becoming even more unstoppable than the first movie
🎖️ The brutal POW camp setting and classic revenge-driven action storytelling
🔥 Cannon Films turning action movie excess up to maximum levels
😆 The logic-defying action scenes that somehow make the movie even more entertaining
🪖 Wild prison camp villains and pure ’80s military movie energy
💣 Explosions, machine guns, and every action trope you could possibly want
🎬 Why this sequel/prequel perfectly captures the charm of direct, no-nonsense action cinema
🏕️ The survival sequences, escapes, and Chuck Norris moments that feel pulled straight from playground conversations
Like the best action sequels, Missing in Action 2 is loud, ridiculous, endlessly entertaining, and absolutely committed to the bit.

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel tackles Critters 3, the third entry in the cult creature-feature franchise — and yes, this is the one with a very young Leonardo DiCaprio.
Trading the small-town setting for a rundown apartment building, Critters 3 goes full low-budget sequel mode with greedy landlords, weird tenants, and furry alien monsters causing total chaos.
We dig into everything, including:
🐛 Young Leonardo DiCaprio showing early star power in one of his first film roles
🏢 Moving the franchise to an apartment building and how we wish we had more characters for the Critters to eat
😂 The mix of horror, comedy, and pure sequel weirdness that only Critters can deliver
💥 Homemade traps, hallway chases, and low-budget creature carnage
🎭 A cast of bizarre tenants who feel pulled from a sitcom fever dream (two from Seinfeld)
😆 Geoffrey Blake crushing it as "Frank the sleezy super"
🎬 Where Critters 3 fits in the franchise and whether it’s secretly more fun than expected
🔥 Why creature sequels from this era remain endlessly entertaining
This is exactly the kind of sequel we love covering — strange, scrappy, ridiculous, and somehow impossible to stop watching.

RE-RELEASE
After covering some seriously high body count movies (Samurai Cop 2, Sudden Impact, Death Wish 3), we’re switching things up with a sequel where the dead body is the MAIN CHARACTER — Weekend at Bernie’s II.
Yes… Bernie is back. And somehow, things get even weirder.
This week, we’re joined by returning guest Gina (from our Karate Kid Part III episode) to help us make sense of a sequel that throws logic out the window and replaces it with voodoo, island vibes, and pure chaos.
We dig into everything, including:
💀 The insane decision to double down on Bernie being dead… but now mobile
🕺 The legendary “Bernie dance” and why it somehow carries the entire movie
🪄 Voodoo magic, curses, and plot points that raise more questions than answers
😆 Larry somehow becoming even more unhinged than the first movie
🐐 Henchmen slowly turning into goats… because of course they do
🏝️ The tropical setting that somehow makes everything feel even more ridiculous
🤯 Plot holes on top of plot holes — and why it weirdly makes the movie more fun
🎬 How this sequel leans fully into absurdity and becomes a true cult classic
This is sequel insanity at its finest — bigger swings, weirder choices, and a movie that somehow exists and demands to be discussed.
