Where's The Damn Sequel?!
Where's The Damn Sequel?!
Luwd Media
A podcast about movies that were disenfranchised. From expensive flops to burnout brands, Lucien and a rotation of guests discuss the Hollywood movies - both famous and forgotten - that never achieved the fullest of their franchise potential.
Artemis Fowl w/Shane Kelly and Eoghan Dobey
Where's The Damn Sequel?! is back, live from COVID lockdown, and ready to discuss the year's most baffling, awful and hopeless franchise starter: Disney's big-budget Irish fairy fantasy Artemis Fowl, directed by Kenneth Branagh and produced by... Robert DeNiro?? We break down the film's incoherent plot, paddywhackery script and the horror show that is Josh Gad as a giant dwarf.

Muppets Most Wanted - 50th Episode w/Shane Kelly
It's the 50th episode of Where's The Damn Sequel?! and what better way to celebrate two years of great movie podcasting than by discussing perhaps our signature film, the source of our theme song: James Bobin's Muppets Most Wanted! Shane Kelly returns for this landmark edition of the podcast.

In Time w/Eoghan Dobey
Would that this podcast were a time podcast! Lucien is joined by longtime podcast collaborator Eoghan Dobey to discuss Andrew NIccol's 2011 sci-fi thriller In Time, featuring time heists, time pirates and time banks. Would In Time make a better TV series? Why was the marketing so vague about the fabulous premise? And can anyone, literally anyone, remember the Puss In Boots spin-off?

The Judge w/Shane Kelly
Shane Kelly returns to cross-examine one of Lucien's weird favourites: David Dobkin's 2014 legal melodrama The Judge. We discuss the film's bonkers incest subplot, Robert Duvall shitting himself, an early standout turn from Succession's Jeremy Strong and the film's touching use of Coldplay and Thomas Newman. You're about to be Judged.

The Cat in the Hat w/Rob Cleaver-Redmond and Brendan Fernando Kelly Palenque
You're not just wrong, you're stupid. And you're ugly, just like your mum. In a special bumper-sized episode, Lucien is joined by Rob and Brendan to discuss the most unhinged and unique family comedy of the century: Mike Meyers in The Cat in the Hat: a film so twisted it caused Dr Seuss' widow to ban any other live-action adaptations of his work. We dig into the film's numerous great visual gags, glorious production design and Alec Baldwin performance. Plus: the Spies in Disguise challenge and the Box Office Game!

Hobbs and Shaw w/Shane Kelly and Gemma Robocop
Hobbs... AND Shaw? In this economy?? In a special emergency episode (a nice way of saying "sorry for the poor audio"), Lucien is joined by Shane and Gemma for instant reaction to David Leitch's Fast & Furious presents: Hobbs & Shaw. From Dwayne Johnson's Samoan self-mythologising to the film's contradictory gun politics and cameos from some truly insufferable comedy superstars, we dig (kinda) deep on the summer's biggest action movie. But believe us, it's no Mission: Impossible - Fallout.

Mad Max: Fury Road w/Joe Moran
So shiny, so chrome! Lucien is joined by Immortan Joe Moran to talk George Miller's petrol-fuelled dystopian epic Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. Why did Warner Bros fund such an audacious project, and - in lieu of this movie's Best Picture nomination - what future potential does this franchise have? Plus we learn Joe's thoughts on Fred Durst's directorial debut, and we play the Box Office Game!
