We are back! From the bottom of our geeky hearts, we apologize for our prolonged absence, but we are now back in action!

For the latest episode of the podcast, we sit down with Jared Rigsby for part 1 of “The Sequel Was Better”. We talk about certain instances in cinematic history where, you guessed it, the sequel was better than the original.
