Return of the Sequel Return of the Sequel

Hello and welcome to the first podcast for Return of the Sequel: The interviews!

What is Return of the Sequel? Well it’s an independent book that I'll be publishing in 2018 (the first of two volumes). The book focuses on under appreciated, obscure cult films and potentially unloved second entries in a franchise. It follows my journey to rediscover and show my love for these particular films.

I'm your host Dom O'Brien and for this first interview I'll be talking with Tremors 2: Aftershocks Filmmaker and Screenwriter Steve S Wilson. Steve has a whole host of filmmaking credits to his name, having written for the 80s TV Show M.A.S.K, Batteries Not Included, and Short Circuit 1 & 2, and also directed Tremors 4: The Legend Begins.

A brief note - due to recording the interview via Skype, there are a few instances of audio distortion. Unfortunately I was unable to fix this, but rather than deleting the content, I have left it in if you do what to hear it. It'll start around the 8 min mark, but feel free to jump ahead slightly (to around 14 minutes) and the distortion will fade out of the interview.

I’m really happy with how this interview turned out and supremely grateful for the time Steve gave to me (I could have spoken to him for hours). I look forward to sharing more interviews with you in the lead up to the book’s release, and hopefully beyond. In the meantime, sit back, relax, crack out an MRA (Tremors 2 fans will get that) and don't make any vibrations on the ground.
