    What are some of the best movies that avoid the sequel trap?

    It's the 259th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- talk about their favorite non-franchise films. They acknowledge upfront Star Wars' culpability in the current state of Hollywood -- in which everything seems to be a sequel or remake -- before turning their attention to their favorite movies that don't fall into that trap. Whether they're classics from an earlier age that avoided our current sequel-laden landscape, or they're modern greats that somehow navigated avoiding those trappings, here are some of the best movies that don't try to get you to buy the next big thing. They stand on their own merits.
