The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1

It's the end! Well... it's the beginning of the end. Karrie and Lindsay join Todd and Brogan to break down the penultimate entry in the Twilight Saga. We discuss the weird and controversial bits, as well as the weird bits that probably would have been controversial if anyone had not been too distracted by the other stuff to notice. Did you know they covered a real baby in jelly for this? A human baby! Like it was a piece of toast!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Franchised Fiends breaks down The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and in the process eclipse our record for longest episode for the fifth time in a row. We just really like talking about movies, okay??? Today we're joined by returning guest Rachel and new guest Peyton — an honest-to-god novelist whose love of Twilight directly influenced her choice in career — to discuss questions like "Why is this one so good?" and "Oh my god, why does the ring look like that?"

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

In the true spirit of the 4th of July, we're talking about a movie that is mostly talking but throws in a few neat explosions at the end. Returning guest Max and first-time guest Suzee join Todd and Brogan to talk about the highs and lows of Twilight's second entry, which is extra exciting for Max who has never seen a Twilight film before.

Twilight

It's Independence Day weekend! You celebrating? Yeah, no, we get it. Neither are we. Would a secret season take the edge off? As previously announced, our regularly scheduled programming will return in October where we'll be exploring the Scream franchise. But we've also been hard at work secretly preparing a full season exploring the Twilight franchise, which Todd has famously managed to watch more than 350 times across all five films. We'll have a new episode every two days, joined first by our wives for our annual partners episode.

Franchise Fools — April Fool's Day (1986)

It's April Fool's Day, which means we're talking about Fred Walton's April Fool's Day. Is this the Paddington 2 of comedy slashers? A testament to the psychopathy of the upper class? Both? Sabrina and Matt join Todd and Brogan to try and get to the bottom of what at the very least is the coolest poster for a slasher film themed after a lesser holiday.

A Franchise Fiends Christmas Vacation — Jack Frost (1997) w/ Silver Spotlight Films

Today we're joined by Steve Rudzinski and Aleen Isley, the creative duo behind Silver Spotlight Films. They're best known for the CarousHELL trilogy, but they've also produced several Christmas films including A Meowy Christmas, Curtains for Christmas, and the award-winning Amityville Christmas Vacation. One of their favorite Christmas classics is Michael Cooney's 1997 cult classic Jack Frost, which may not have been seen by as many people as the 1998 Michael Keaton family film of the same name but did arguably have the coolest VHS cover any of us ever saw on the Blockbuster shelves.

A Very Thankful Franchise Fiends — ThanksKilling 3

How do you talk about a film that eschews traditional narrative analysis and in fact seems to exist in open defiance of both film criticism and God? If you're Todd and Brogan (and special guests Amelia and Bobby) it involves a number of lengthy tangents, including multiple meandering discussions about 9/11 that — in a Franchise Fiends first — were so bizarre and off-topic that Brogan trimmed most of it out after realizing they totaled nearly a third of the runtime.

Sawedcast Finale and Season 3 Announcement

Todd and Brogan rank the Saw films and traps. Brogan decides that one of his favorite traps is a Saw IV trap he initially made fun of but came to appreciate after seeing the same concept done much worse in Saw 3D, yet forgets to explain this when actually talking about the trap. A third season is announced. We'll be talking about Scream next October but there will be plenty of specials and surprises in the meantime, starting next month with our very first Thanksgiving special.

All they do is bring up politics the entire time on every podcast. It’s kind of ridiculous.
