Sequel Harder

Sequel Harder looks at movie franchises that started with a classic, then had sequels that couldn’t quite live up to it. Dave and Eric take on one franchise per episode, from Die Hard and Beverly Hills Cop to Escape from New York and Rush Hour. Spin-off episodes under the Sequel Failure banner tackle stand-alone misfires like Speed Racer and Megalopolis. The show began in 2018.

Start here:
• Die Hard: the very first episode
• Star Wars Episodes IV to VI: a NEOZAZ favorite
• Escape from New York: the Carpenter classic and its sequel
