100 episodes, wow. We never thought we would make it past 10 and here we are 90 episodes later.  So Jamie and I got together to discuss the good, the bad, and all the sequels we have covered.  We talked about how it all started, favorite movies/interviews, and we preview what films that are on the horizon.    A huge thank you to each and every person who was a guest.  We thank them all throughout the episode, but here is a full list sequelsonly.com/interviews   WRITE US A REVIEW WHERE EVER YOU LISTENED! Thursday is our interview with Lisa Wilcox better known as Alice from Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5. So we talk about a lot of that, but so much more.  Lisa had a very interesting start in Hollywood and told me how she wanted to be a doctor before pursuing acting.

We have made it to episode 100, so to celebrate, we had to cover the last film in one of the greatest franchises ever made, Back to the Future, and boy this movie has some problems.  We invited a brand new guest in Tom (the biggest BTTF fan that Doug knows) to help discuss all the good and bad.  Like the incest, the many time-traveling issues, the lack of women in 1885 Hill Valley, is Doc Brown a villain, and lots more.  This is a video review so you can watch it here sequelsonly.com/BTTF3 Next week Doug is interviewing Actress and the final girl who beat Freddy twice, Lisa Wilcox.  Lisa talked about how she almost became a doctor, her early, roles, Nightmare on Elm Street, and lots more.  Subscribe so you don't miss out Review and rate us where you are listening.  Follow us on social media @sequelsonly  Our website is sequelsonly.com

This we tackled a sequel that was 20 years in the making, ignoring the other two sequels that were made in the meantime, and that movie is Return to Sleepaway Camp. We had to bring in a Sleepaway Camp expert for his 3rd review with us, Chris Egan.  Chris helps us understand that Return to Sleepaway Camp is pretty much the same film as the original.  Of course, we talked about Alan's dirty shirt, the fact no one is fazed about being tied up, Jamies' new favorite one-liner "Your ass...stinks!, and so much more.  This is a video review too that you can watch at sequelsonly.com/returntosleepawaycamp Follow us on all social media @sequelsonly and Review, Rate, and Share our podcast Next movie we are discussing will be "I Got the Hookup 2" starring Master P and former guest "Tiny" Lister.  But stay tuned for next week's interview where Doug chatted with actress and comedienne Tanjareen Thomas.

This Bonus interview is so epic because I interviewed my first rock star, Jeffrey Bryan. Jeffrey grew up in LA and at a really young age, he was playing all the classic LA music venues. He talked about how he came to play the "Merv Griffin Show" at the age of 15, playing in different bands, composing music for tv/movies, and then joining the mega rock band "Survivor" (Eye of the Tiger, Moment of Truth, Burning Heart, and more) in 2017.  Oh yeah and I failed to mention Jeffrey was an actor in the film "Karate Kid" and was on set for about 6 months, so he has some great behind the scenes stories about that experience.  The wild thing is "Survivor" did the title track "Moment of Truth" for "Karate Kid" and Jeffrey is in the movie and music video!  This is available as a video interview too at sequelsonly.com/jeffreybryan Check out Jeffrey's website here http://www.jeffreybryanmusic.com/ Follow us on all social media @seqeulsonly.com Our website is sequelsonly.com

This week's guest in Hollywood Make-up Artist Mike Marino.  Mike is a tri-state area guy who was inspired at a young age from his fear of the movie "The Elephant Man" which led him to be fascinated by the make-up effects.  We talked about how he got started practicing on a classmate in high school, how legendary makeup artist Dick Smith used to help him over the phone, working on Saturday Night Live,  the biggest turning point in his career, doing Heidi Klum's epic Halloween costumes, plus we talked his upcoming films "The Batman" and "Coming 2 America".  We covered a lot in an hour and he has worked on so many amazing projects, so we couldn't talk about it all, but I put his IMDb and website below.

This movie has an all-star cast with Mel Gibson and Vernon Wells.  We, of course, talked about Jason Voorhees sorry I mean Lord Humongous, Feral Kid (What the hell was he), us both falling head over heels for Warrior Woman, how insane Vernon Wells is in this movie, and lots more.  Mad Max 2 was our highest Rotten Tomatoes score yet at 93% This is also available to watch in video form (Doug has an epic costume of a Mad Max 2 character) here sequelsonly.com/madmax2 The next movie we are covering is "Return to Sleepaway Camp" (Available on Shudder) and we interviewed a SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP LEGEND Mike Marino.  It was great to chat with a local Tri-State area person about how he got from a kid doing makeup on a friend to doing the makeup for some of the biggest films/shows around.  Mike just worked on the much-anticipated sequel "Coming to America 2" and "The Batman"  Here are all of Mike's Amazing credits https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002514/ Follow us on all social media @sequelsonly and our website is sequelsonly.com

When it comes to movies you aren't supposed to be rooting for the bad guy, but how could I not root for this week's guest Vernon Wells?  Vernon played legendary bad guys in Mad Max 2 as Wez and in Commando as Bennett. Of course, we talked Weird Science, Arnold Schwarzenegger, his start in acting, his love for being behind the camera, and so much more.  This was my first video interview and you watch it at sequelsonly.com/vernonwells.

Who didn't grow up watching TV Land or Nick at Nite watching the classics like I Love Lucy, Bewitched, and of course My Three Sons.  Well, this week's bonus interview is with none other than Chip Douglas himself, Mr. Stanley Livingston.  Stanley grew up on TV and it was great to pick his brain about that.

So the last few movies had some pretty high body counts (Samurai Cop 2, Sudden Impact, and Death Wish 3), so it's only fitting our next sequel is one where a dead body is the star (cough Bernie Lomax cough).  Weekend at Bernie's 2 has so much going on that we brought back Gina (Karate Kid Part III guest) to help us sort it all out. Of course, we talked voodoo, a few plot holes(maybe more), Larry's insanity, henchman turning into goats slowly, the Bernie dance, and so much more.  We hope this tropical setting will help you escape a little.  This is available on youtube as a video review here https://youtu.be/xIEJ0zVdfzw Follow us on all social media @sequelsonly and check out our website sequelsonly.com  Next week we have an amazing interview (in both audio and video) with actor and legendary villain Vernon Wells(Mad Max 2, Commando, Weird Science, and more)  Vernon's career is so amazing and his story about how he got started is as well.  Subscribe here sequelsonly.com/subscribe 

This week's interview is such a special one for me, because "Weekend at Bernies 1 and 2" were ones I watched over and over as a kid and I was in LOVE with Troy Byer.  I never realized the amazing things she did behind the camera like write "BAPS", write/direct "Love Don't Cost a Thing", and so much more.  I short-changed her on the episode title because I didn't want it to be too long, but it could have said,  "Troy Byer American psychologist, author, director, screenwriter, and actress".  I loved chatting with Troy and I know you'll love her too.   Write a review for our podcast!

This week’s bonus interview is a great one.  I was lucky enough to chat with Adult Film Star Britney Amber about everything from horror movies we watched at a young age to what helped her become one of the best in her industry.  Of course we talked about her mainstream roles in “Girls, Guns, and Blood” a grindhouse type movie that is FREE on Amazon Prime and her upcoming role in an Eric Roberts thriller “The Arrangement” which will be out July 7th, 2020.  Britney a blast and I know you will love her.
