Pardon My Franchise: Recent Episodes
Nora Blake
Welcome to Pardon My Franchise, the podcast about the feeling of finding out that movie you saw years ago got three sequels when you weren't looking! Every week Nora & Autumn watch a movie that's part of a franchise you probably know of, and every week they get closer to that weird sixth entry you never heard about. From the Export Audio Podcast Network!
Is it export? Is it franchise? The important thing is that it's back.

Volume 4 is a little underwhelming after the heights of 3, but there is still a ton of fun to be had and great lines of dialog. Plus it seems like the stuff coming up is RAD.

This week, the rawest shit in the world goes down between Kenshiro, Rei, and the leader of the Fangs. PLEASE do yourself a favor and read along this episode. It's a real treat.

Our trek across the wasteland continues as we talk about volume 2 of Fist of the North Star! We also definitely don't get off topic at all. Why would we start talking about The Witcher 3 or Fourth Wing? That would be silly. See you next week

We're back! On account of the SAG-AFTRA strike we are NOT doing movies at present and so Nora and I are here to talk about a man very close to both of our hearts, Kenshiro. In this episode, we discuss the first volume of Fist of the North Star (that is the recent Viz Signature volumes i.e. the first 13 chapters).

We're back with a whole adventuring party! I'm joined this time by both Crystal and Jen as we talk about the newest exercise in intellectual property, Honor Among Thieves. It's good! They made kind of a normal movie.

We're back with special guest Em to talk about a movie much more competent than the last one! Not a high bar, I know. But I hope you like me fixating on D&D mechanical details! Because that's happening.

Witness the beginning of a DUNGEONVERSE...
In the year 2000, there was a movie called Dungeons & Dragons. It was not very good.

We've had a hell of a tme the last few weeks but we are BACK with PUSS IN BOOTS THE LAST WISH!! It's a fantastic movie, way better than we really expected given the hype. But it's time to say goodbye to the orange cat and say hello to the big scaly fire breathing cat...

We're back again with...the best Shrek movie? We'll see how the Last Wish hits, but right now this is the top pick for our Ogreverse season. It's just fun! And we like the guys. Although Humpty Dumpty is a little freak (derogatory).

The end of the mainline Shrek film series brings us some mild mythmaking about how good it is that Shrek happened. Typical sequel fare I suppose. But it does feel just the slightest bit...better than the previous ones, for very little reason. Anyway, cat movie next.

Howdy we're back! Sorry for the late episode, things have been crazy around here. But it's time to return to the Ogreverse with another Shrek! It's fine.

Shrek is back and so are we. Does Shrek 2 hold up like we thought it would? Is Puss in Boots a valuable addition to the cast? Does Holding Out for a Hero kick ass? Answers to all those questions and more answered in this very episode. But you don't even have to ask that last one, of course Holding Out for a Hero kicks ass.

We are back! With a new franchise. The time is nigh for the Ogreverse! We will be watching all six theatrically released films within the Shrek franchise, starting with this week's episode: the titular classic itself. Unfortunately, we both have been sick and I'm working way more hours than usual, so the episode was late. We are doing our best despite our circumstances, and the next ones shouldn't experience the same delay.

Welcome baaaaaaack to Pardon My Franchise! We come to the end of the Immortalverse with one of the...lesser movies we've seen. Not the worst, but...down there. The first 20 minutes were something really unexpected, but they could NOT keep that pace up. Please enjoy our discussion on what is essentially the Diary of the Dead of Highlander.

We're back with a new Highlander! This week we meet Colin MacLeod, an honorary highlander from second century Britain who fights an immortal Roman in a post apocalyptic 2187! We talk about what Highlander can or should be, how we would improve it, and anime.

The method pays off as we discover that Highlander 4 kicks the shit out of every movie in the franchise so far. What an absolute delight.

This movie took a diarrhea dump in our ear. We preferred having covid over watching this movie.

Highlander II proves to be a special surprise where the second movie is better than the first. It's all over the place, but that's a positive.

The Roboverse continues to pay some fucking dividends! Robocop 2 may not be as airtight as the first film, but it's a fantastic ride all the same. No, we can't REALLY keep the plot straight. Yes, some plot points are really stupid. But this one's a great time.

Movies...are hard to make.
Next week we will be taking a break, and I believe we intend to take a break between every season transition. We will be back in two weeks with an episode about ROBOCOP though! We already picked out some strong contenders for our third season as well, but you'll just have to wait and see what that is.

It's our most contentious episode yet somehow! Nora says this movie is terrible, I say this movie is fine, and only YOU can decide who was right (it's me).
Next time will be the end of season 1 so send us all your questions to exportaudiopodcast@gmail.com! Ask us about zombie movies, George Romero, the evolution of special effects, future franchises you want us to cover, or anything else on your mind! Just make sure you put Franchise in the subject line.

We are back again to talk more about zombies. George Romero enters the 2000s and movies are different now. Land of the Dead is a movie plagued (pardon the pun) by all the problems of a movie from the mid 00s, but those are also in many ways a blessing. This movie is weird and uneven, but we were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. We hope you do too!

For you, it has been one week but for it us it was about 12 hours between our Dawn recording and this one. We had a MUCH better time with Day of the Dead. This movie is a stone cold classic. I'll go to bat for this movie any day of the week. Absolutely loved it.
