This week on So Many Sequels, Josh and David are holding down the fort while Garrett’s out, and there’s no shortage of movie news to cover!

We kick things off with spoiler-free reactions to Sinners, the surprise horror hit from Ryan Coogler that’s got everyone—including strangers at PetSmart—talking. Then we dive into Coogler’s next big project: a reboot of The X-Files. Will it stick the landing where others (sorry, Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone) didn’t?

We also react to the trailer for the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, debate whether Freddy Prinze Jr. is secretly the killer, and discuss the Predator franchise’s newest entry, Badlands. Plus: John Cena and Idris Elba as buddy-president-and-prime-minister in Heads of State… what is going on?

And as always, David breaks down the box office, including Sinners’ shocking second-week performance and the return of Revenge of the Sith to theaters.
