December 13, 2017 14:48 - 129 MBEd's back from abandoning the Runaway Franchise Family (he was sick, cut him a break, also this might be him editing this to cut himself slack) and so are the McCallister's with 1992's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York!

November 22, 2017 14:25 - 125 MBWahoooooo it's Wes Craven's New Nightmare...the one where they make a movie about making a movie with people from the movie in it and Freddy is in it but he's Robert England but also Freddy. Nancy isn't Nancy, but she's the actress who played Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) and her Dad is now her friend. Confused yet? So is Ed.

031: Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge – The Runaway Franchise Podcast
October 18, 2017 13:40 - 90.6 MBThis week, the Franchisees are plagued by technical errors. The podcast recorder decided to have a “data write error” (OR MAYBE IT WAS FREDDY HAUNTING OUR PODCAST).

028: Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 – The Runaway Franchise Podcast
September 27, 2017 16:47 - 112 MBThis week, we start the two part conclusion of the epic Twilight Saga. It's not really epic actually, but there are some wild things that shouldn't happen in a vampire movie for teens. Ed is morally outraged by the inappropriateness of the movie, Dom immediately shares his distaste for Jell-o products, and Tom wishes we got a "baby crawlin' out" scene. Let's get into this awkward honeymoon-birth-life and death-full film. This week in the lobby: We announce the JAWS GAW winner, tune in to s...
027: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – The Runaway Franchise Podcast
September 20, 2017 16:22 - 122 MBUGH. We are still watching Twilight. Tom attempts to make some connections between Twilight: Eclipse and Bonnie Tyler's 1983 smash hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart". He even starts singing again. Ed is broken down completely (mentally and physically because it was kinda warm in the house) and might not even have a soul left after this movie. Dom maintains optimism, but he'd still rather watch Jaws 3 and Aliens 3 all day than watch Twilight 3 again. Let's dig into this third part of the ever-po...
026: The Twilight Saga: New Moon – Runaway Franchise Podcast
September 13, 2017 12:54 - 127 MBThis week, we enter the Twilight Saga with some curiosity, confusion, and some mild rage. Tom sings too much, and everyone wishes he'd go back to car sounds. Ed would love to do steroids but rather kill himself than play baseball (among many other things), Dom admits "the only thing that can hurt me is you", "can we stop this noooow", and sexual dad tension.

023: JAWS 3(D) – Runaway Franchise Podcast
August 22, 2017 18:43 - 123 MBThis movie would be sooooooo good if it was just Dennis Quaid sprinting through Sea World in the shortest shorts possible. Unfortunately, it’s not. This movie is a train wreck of a Sea World advertisement, but like an ad for a theme park where your entire family can get eaten by sharks. There’s an underwater […]

020: Franchise Recap! – Runaway Franchise Podcast
August 01, 2017 19:25 - 73.7 MBThis week, we took a different approach. Instead of talking about one movie in particular, we talked about all of them! We go over the best and worst standalone movies (out of Resident Evil, Fast and Furious, and Alien) and crown a franchise king. Dom and Tom are surprisingly okay with stating their feelings, while Ed nearly has an existential crisis. A winner of the Juba shirt is announced, and more.

July 25, 2017 14:04 - 138 MBThis week, we have our good pal Juba on the show. Why is he qualified to talk about this movie full of large, strong guys? Because he's a large strong guy who happens to really like the first XXX movie (not the porno, the cool Vin Diesel movie with extreme stunts). We talk about the latest installment in the FF franchise, and finally wrap it up after two months of watching these heckin' films.

018: Furious 7 (2015) – Runaway Franchise Podcast
July 18, 2017 18:44 - 141 MBThis week, the podcasters have some sort of mental breakdown. The podcast room is hot, Tom argues over whether air and wind are the same thing, Dom can't get through the box read, and Ed questions everything like a jerk. So is it really any different from our other episodes? Yes. Because Jason Freaking Statham is in this movie and he casually murders a whole bunch of people with grenades. Also, I think we're starting to become die-hard, gear-head, motor-mouthed Fast and Furious fans. This we...
