  • Summary

  • Josh Tracey and Kel Grant watch sequels and remakes (or "follow up" films as we call them) to explore the how the next installment of a franchise furthers the story it's based upon. Why do some films get sequels while others don't? Why do some films get continuously remade? We try to answer these questions, one movie at a time.

    Episode 5: Cape Fear
    Feb 20 2023

    The first remake done for the show, this episode will be a deep dive into the creative differences between the original 1962 "Cape Fear" and its 1991 counterpart. There are several key changes between the screenplay, characters, and main plot elements that create a very different film and themes from the original installation.

    Episode 4: Shaft's Big Score
    Jan 17 2023
    A desperate and greed-ridden attempt at keeping the music alive, "Shaft's Big Score" is a valiant effort in an attempt at fostering the early formation of a franchise, following the previous success of its predecessor "Shaft". Taking some big departures and tone shifts, the film ultimately is not as successful as the original (neither critically nor financially), but does still offer some of what made the first film great. Kel and Josh get into the details on this early entry into the Blaxploitation cannon.
