Sometimes it takes a while for a movie or TV series to get a proper sequel. But what drives people to develop sequels to franchises more than 20 years after the original? Do these "decades later" sequels work to introduce a franchise and beloved characters to a new generation? Or do they fail because they left the audience waiting too long?

Special guest Michael Andrew stops by to help Average Joe process his very conflicted feelings about the television series "Titans". Does this gritty, violent take on some of AJ's favourite comic book characters do the characters justice? Are the issues fans have with this series legitimate criticisms or are they being source material purists? Is the series better with a week-to-week release schedule or with the option to binge-watch an entire season?

We continue our journey of catching up on movies released in 2018 by driving down to 1987's California for a look at the Transformers spinoff film, "Bumblebee".
With Disney buying 20 Century Fox, a new rumour has emerged confirming that all Marvel films in development at Fox will be cancelled going forward. Is this a good idea of not?
After the major disappointment that was "Transformers: The Last Knight", it seemed as though all hope was lost for this Cybertronian franchise. However, with well defined characters, well shot action scenes, and some nostalgic storytelling, it seems the little Volkswagon Beetle that could has brought new life into this franchise.
