014: The Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift – Runaway Franchise Podcast

June 20, 2017 14:54 - 126 MB

The series takes a turn in a completely different direction. Familiar faces are swapped out for bad acting, and passing 43 year olds off as 17. There's a car on fire and some bad driving, and some really loud noises. Did we have fun? Listen to find out! Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series. Discussion, facts, opinions, and even some banter may ensue.

013: 2 Fast, 2 Furious – Runaway Franchise Podcast

June 13, 2017 17:23 - 97 MB

This movie has the number 2 in the title twice. We shift into second gear with 2003's 2 Fast, 2 Furious. They've ditched the crew in favor of our favorite on-screen duo: Paul Walker and Tyrese. We get HONGRY for some campy race car fun in Miami.  Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series.

June 06, 2017 13:42 - 96.2 MB

We are kicking into gear (get it, car stuff) with a new franchise. 2001's The Fast and the Furious! I put the exclamation point there so we seemed excited. You'll have to listen in order to find out whether this is a high-octane, adrenaline pumping thrill ride or if it's about as exciting as sugar in your gas tank.

011: Alien Covenant (w/ Guest Mike Abrusci) – Runaway Franchise

May 30, 2017 12:16 - 138 MB

This week we hit the theaters with our pal Mike Abrusci (Comedian, Da Snack Boys, TV Casualty) to see the latest entrance in Ridley Scott's Alien saga - Alien: Covenant. There's some Danny McBride, a few aliens, and a whole lot of dumb people in space. SPOILER ALERT: the plot is discussed, if you don't want to hear about it then it's best to hold off on this episode until after you've seen the movie. Tom made us into androids: Oh yeah, and Mike too: Runaway Franchise is the podcast where ...

010: Prometheus – Runaway Franchise

May 23, 2017 09:30 - 101 MB

We kick it into prequel mode with 2012's Prometheus. Ridley Scott is back at the helm, and he's trying to make this polarizing film an all out think fest. We have some dumb crew members, gorgeous scenery, some sci-fi surgery, and a (tiny) bit of insight into the origins of the xenomorph.

008: Alien 3 – Runaway Franchise

May 09, 2017 09:30 - 95.2 MB

Oh my goodness, I think we're officially off the rails. This excruciatingly excruciating sequel is full of bald Englishmen, plot holes, and one really tricky CGI alien. This week, Ed sings multiple songs, Tom gets excited, and Dom tries to make the best of a bad movie.

007: Aliens (1986) – Runaway Franchise

May 02, 2017 09:30 - 121 MB

Chugging along to the second movie in the series, we look at the ever-popular Aliens. There's way more marines, way more muscles, way more grease, and definitely a bunch of great catch phrases.
