No movie series travels in a straight line. And on Franchise Detours, host Robert Yaniz Jr. tracks the twists and turns of your favorite film series. Whether it’s the manic antics of The Naked Gun, the evolving continuity of X-Men, the horror-comedy balancing act of Child’s Play, or how Rocky transitioned into Creed, each episode digs into how these stories shift, grow, and sometimes completely reinvent themselves.

The boys must be out of their minds because this week they're returning to the world of Czech animation and watching 2012's Goat Story 2: With Cheese. The first movie may have been one of the weirdest movies they've ever watched... Can the sequel top it? This one is set in a magical land of cheese, demons, and folk-story superheroes. We follow Goat…

Just a year after Batman Begins relaunched the Caped Crusader back into Gotham's crime-ridden streets, Superman Returns flew into theaters, attempting to bridge the gap between Richard Donner’s Superman and the modern superhero era. Starring Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel, the film honors Christopher Reeve’s legacy while paving its own path. Fil…

In what may be one of the strangest choices we've ever made on the show, this week we're checking out a VeggieTales movie(ish) about superhero vegetables! In 2012, Marvel made history with 'The Avengers'. The same year, VeggieTales tried to do the same thing with 'The League of Incredible Vegetables'. It shares similar themes with a team needing to…

The image we've chosen for this episode may make this week's movie look like a normal animated kids film... But Goat Story is anything but. This Czech film may be one of the most cursed things we've ever had to watch for this podcast. It's about the incredibly strange relationship between a guy called Jemmy and his goat. They travel to Prague, wher…

For the penultimate stop on our Superman mega-series, Franchise Detours takes flight with 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Christopher Reeve not only dons the cape once more but also contributes to the story this time around, though the result isn’t exactly what he had in mind. Due largely to Cannon Films’ budget cuts, Reeve’s final flight …

After many years of attempting to get one of his childhood favourite movies on the show, Zach has finally succeeded. This week, we're finally watching the animated Soviet Union version of Treasure Island from 1988. This joint Russian and Ukrainian production takes a Looney Tunes-type approach to the classic adventure story, and has one of the funni…

Sometimes you just want to make a movie with your friends where you pretend to be goofy spies, do a bunch of improv, and figure out a story later. And you know what? That is okay! You can do that! The thing is, you should probably make the movie at least a little fun for the viewers. In the case of Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase's film 'Spies Like Us'…

1984’s Supergirl attempted to expand the Superman cinematic universe with a new hero, fresh mythology, and a bold new direction. But did it live up to its promise? On this episode of Franchise Detours, Robert Yaniz Jr. welcomes The Vern from Cinema Recall to discuss Helen Slater’s debut as Kara Zor-El, the film’s campy villain turn from Faye Dunawa…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s a tonal shift! Robert is joined by Sandro Falce of Oldie But a Goodie to discuss Superman III, the movie that trades high-stakes heroics for slapstick hijinks. From Richard Pryor’s chaotic tech wizardry to Clark Kent’s trip down memory lane, the third Christopher Reeve Superman film is as infamous as it is fascinatin…

Do you like water? We love water! You'll be hard-pressed to find a pair of podcasters who love water as much as us. And that's why we went to a cinema in 2022 and watched Avatar: The Way of Water! Then we reviewed it on Patreon! And now, we're releasing that review for free! So many opinions! And water! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! http…

This week, we're reviewing Ocean's Eleven. No, it's not the classic heist movie by Steven Soderbergh that spawned the franchise we've probably all heard of today. We're instead talking about the 1960 film by Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack. We slogged our way through this egotistical mess to see if it deserves to be as poorly remembered as it is. Join our…

On this episode of Franchise Detours, we continue our deep dive into the original Superman film series with 1980's Superman II — both the theatrical cut and the 2006 Richard Donner Cut. Darin Lundberg of NostalgiaCast and Back To Bluey joins us to explore how the behind-the-scenes turmoil affected the film’s tone and vision, from Richard Lester’s m…

To wrap up Sandro's month of choices is a forgotten Disney science fiction film from 1978 called 'The Cat from Outer Space'. It's about an alien cat that crash-lands on Earth. With the help of some scientists, the cat goes on an adventure to fix its ship and return home, while learning some life lessons along the way, like how gambling is excellent…

A killer cat is on the loose in a small English village in this week's movie! It's an Italian horror film called 'The Black Cat', based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story. Can director Lucio Fulci deliver another gory mystery set in a country that's not Italy? Let's find out! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutag…

We've watched a few Italian giallo horrors before on this podcast. We've also watched a couple slashers set in New York City before on this podcast. We have never watched an Italian giallo set in New York City before though... And that's what we're reviewing this week with Lucio Fulci's incredibly brutal 'The New York Ripper' from 1982!

On this episode of Franchise Detours, we reach the final stop in Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy with 2013’s Before Midnight. Jackson Smith returns to the show to unpack this raw, reflective chapter in the ongoing story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy). Set nearly two decades after their first meeting, Before Midnight trades youth…

As Zach's month of movie choices wraps up, we check out another satirical action sci-fi directed by Paul Verhoeven. This one has a twist, however... It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger! He's a regular guy (or is he?) who goes on a memory vacation to Mars (or does he?) and gets a lot more than he bargained for. Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! ht…

It's our long-awaited review of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. We reviewed the first movie back in 2022, and since then, we have received constant requests to record an episode about the sequel. This one follows a cop dog voiced by James Marsden who has to team up with a cat and a pigeon to take down the evil Kitty Galore. Join our Patre…

On this Franchise Detours, we continue our stroll through Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy with a stop in Paris and the heartbreaking honesty of 2004’s Before Sunset. Dallin Curtis, The Film Fanatic, joins us to unpack the film’s real-time structure, emotional depth, and themes of missed opportunities and second chances. Nine years after their un…

Did you know that Starship Troopers isn't just a regular action movie? It might seem like Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi film is a shallow war tale about Casper Van Dien shooting bugs, but it's a lot deeper than that... It's a satire! We're the first ever podcasters to realise that this movie has a lot going on under the surface, and that's what we'r…

To kick off a month of movie choices only from Zach (and voted on by our Patreon subscribers), we're jumping headfirst into Toontown for a review of Robert Zemeckis's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's a one-of-a-kind blend of live-action and cartoon, set against a 1940s Hollywood backdrop, and featuring a hilarious combination of slapstick violence and…

On this episode, we’re kicking off a mega-series on the Before trilogy, which quietly redefined what a franchise could be. Megan Kearns of Spoilerpiece Theatre joins us to unpack Richard Linklater’s 1995 romantic drama Before Sunrise, the film that launched one of cinema’s most intimate and epic love stories. Before Sunrise captures a fleeting conn…

It's pretty impressive that we've done over 300 episodes and not reviewed a single M. Night Shyamalan movie. That changes this week as we check out his 2002 sci-fi thriller, Signs. It's about crop circles and alien invasions and society and other things. We're joined by comedian Jodie Sloan to untangle all the twists and turns this film has to offe…

Finally, a podcast that answers one of the most important questions of all time... Is 'The Master of Disguise' not bad enough for the bad movie club? Everyone knows that it's pretty bad. It has 1% on Rotten Tomatoes, they basically gave up filming it halfway through, and Dana Carvey's career never recovered... But is it really THAT bad? (Yes.) Join…

Franchise Detours wraps up its wild ride through the Naked Gun trilogy as we welcome The Famous Ashley Grant to take on 1994’s Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. As Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) comes out of retirement for one last case, Robert and Ashley break down how this third installment pushes the parody further to deliver a grand finale. To…

You might think that the animated movie Robots from 2005 is just a fun, colourful and wholesome adventure in a wacky city of robots, but you'd be wrong. This story and the world around it are incredibly dark. This week, we're diving deep into this childhood favourite of ours and uncovering the true meaning behind Blue Sky Studio's often overlooked …

The chaos continues on Franchise Detours as Leslie Nielsen’s bumbling Frank Drebin returns for more slapstick mayhem in 1991’s The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear. Ryan Luis Rodriguez of One Track Mind — inaugural member of the Franchise Detours five-timers club — returns to tackle this comedy sequel. But does director David Zucker retain the de…

What do you get when you ask Wes Craven, creator of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Scream', to break away from his gory horror roots and direct a dark sci-fi thriller? You get test audiences who are so disappointed in the lack of violence in the movie that you then get him to do a bunch of reshoots that add in heaps of gory horror scenes! But wha…

Have you ever wanted to watch a movie about a sentient computer that is just a sword and sorcery fantasy film in disguise? What about an anthology movie that's more similar to a sketch film but without any of the comedy? Have you ever wondered where Adam Savage from Mythbusters got his catchphrase from? If you answered yes to any of those questions…

We're back and we've got a massive episode for you! This week, two puppet horror movies will go head to head in a truly deadly bonus battle. First up, from 1989, it's Puppet Master. This one sees a bunch of psychics stuck in a hotel getting killed one by one by a group of living puppets! Then, we've got Demonic Toys from 1992. This one sees a bunch…

Franchise Detours is back on the case with a brand-new mega-series on the hilariously offbeat journey of The Naked Gun trilogy. Of course, we’re starting with the David Zucker-directed 1988 original that turned Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin into a slapstick legend. Lauren Robinson of the Beer’d Al Podcast returns to the show to break down why this …

Straight from the Patreon vaults, it's a bonus battle about two family movies from 1984!

We here at Oldie But A Goodie love reviewing kids movies that are way too dark and scary for kids. This week, we're looking at a classic example of this style of film: Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal from 1982. It's a fantasy movie filled with adventure, goofy characters, incredible puppetry, and tons of horrible and violent acts inflict…

We picked another long movie for our next episode, so here's a sneaky bonus Patreon review for free while we get ready for next week! It's 1987's Mannequin... The premise is simple: a guy falls in love with a storefront mannequin. When no one's around, he sees that the mannequin isn't made out of wood, it's made out of Kim Cattrall! This film is WI…

After last week's episode, we wanted to watch another movie starring Jodie Foster, so Sandro picked 2002's Panic Room. Directed by David Fincher, it tells the tale of a home invasion. Our arch nemesis, Jared Leto, teams up with Forest Whittaker to break into Jodie Foster's new home. This leads to Foster hiding with her daughter, Kristen Stewart, in…

We felt like a classic this week, so join us and special guest hauntedbyhan as we review 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. It's the award-winning horror/thriller based on Thomas Harris's novel. Jodie Foster plays a young FBI agent who has to "team up" with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter to hunt down a serial killer called Buffalo Bill. Join our …

Going into the second half of Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, we had one question: Will stuff happen in this one? The answer: Kind of!

What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than by reviewing Zack Snyder's 300. We're talking Gerard Butler's beard, Lena Headey's unnecessarily exploitative side plot, Michael Fassbender's iconic queer performance, all the racism and ableism, as well as the 'Age of Empires' visuals that totally hold up. However, this episode has a twist... Nei…

For the first time ever on the podcast, we are reviewing a movie that was released in the same decade we are currently in. This is also the first time we've reviewed a remake of a movie directly after talking about the original! This week, we're heading over to Paramount+ for 2023's Genie, a remake of 'Bernard and the Genie', written by the origina…
