Finding Fun in Failure!
I followed Trev over from the Kaiju Transmissions podcast and I’ve enjoyed every episode so far. It is amazing how many of the films they have covered I had actually ponied up to see in the theater (ULTRAVIOLET). The structure of each episode is similar: Trev’s Intro. Chris gives the budget and box office returns. There follows some background on the film’s development. Then trailer and a brief synopsis are followed by the discussion of the films merits (or lack there of) by the hosts. Chris’ flippancy aside, the pair deliver some very interesting facts about each of the films. They do their research. The age difference in the hosts also offers a unique perspective on what works and what doesn’t. But the best recommendation I can give the podcast is that, with each episode, Chris and Trev manage to pique my interest in the film they covered. Whether it is a rewatch of something I had seen and liked (DREDD or SPEED RACER) or one I had never watched before (SALT or BATTLESHIP). They manage to make even drek like CATWOMAN entertaining. If you are looking for a fresh take on some cinematic misfires and should’ve beens, give these guys a listen. I just wish Chris would ease up on the f-bombs. Then MAYBE I could listen with my kids in the car. ;)

More reviews of Failure to Franchise
These guys have come up with one of the most original movie podcast concepts of all time! I am really looking forward to listening to them make their way through their giant list of movies that failed to franchise!

An entertaining look at why movie franchises just cant take off. Trev and Chris are knowledgeable and are no doubt the smartest and most attractive hosts in the history of podcasting. Looking forward to the Johan Hex episode.
