January 07, 2022 18:00 - 55 minutes - 49.5 MBAfter a very hectic year that included a regrettable 4-month hiatus, the boys have decided to release a series of deleted or extended bits and bloopers that were either cut for time or deemed too spicy for the show.

December 31, 2021 16:00 - 2 hours - 163 MBIn a much belated episode of Sequel Decay, Chris and Stefan look back on Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, the book's ecological and political implications, as well as the several adaptations that failed to or successfully came to be. From Alejandro Jodorowsky's seemingly pompous, overlong, and wildly self-indulgent attempts to adapt the novel in the 70s, to David Lynch's inability to keep creative control on his adaptation in the 80s, to the first half of Denis Villeneuve's vision that (t...

December 14, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBWith the Dune episode experiencing technical difficulties, Sequel Decay returns from hiatus instead with another edition of Fireside Chat, in which Chris and Stefan discuss the hiatus, Chris and Brandon's nightmarish move to Toronto, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and K*le R*ttenh*us*.

Afterwards, he and the boys are locked in a room to record a podcast on the main films in the American Pie franchise, movies that may or may not actually be good, and are certainly morally horrendous, but they do have Eugene Levy in them, making them officially the greatest movies of...
