The Film Thugs Movie Show

This week we discuss the films of the Zucker brothers, makers of some of the funniest movies of our childhood.

I would write more, but I just learned of Robin Williams' death and don't really feel like writing about this.

So, here is the video I discussed on the show and my normal wrap up.

Is it possible for a sequel to be so bad that it ruins the original film? Not really. I mean, if a movie is good enough it will stand on its own.

That doesn't mean that a sequel cant be so bad as to completely destroy the universe that the original resides in. No, that is all to possible.

This week we take a look at a few movies that do just that. Sequels that so spectacularly miss the point one has to wonder if the filmmakers even saw the original.

So, join us as we discuss the greatest fictional detective of all time along with some other stuff.

There are few, if any, literary characters more recognizable than Sherlock Holmes. I'm hard pressed to name even one.

Over the years London's Baker Street Detective has had multiple incarnations, and is now hitting what is perhaps his biggest rebirth of all.

It's summer, and you know what that means. Big, dumb movies that have to make hundreds of millions of dollars to be considered successful.

This week we decided to take a look at The Dissolve's list of the 50 best summer blockbusters. However, as 50 movies is a lot of movies, and we are talking blockbusters, we decided to make this a built in sequel type situation. So, this week look at the first half, 50-25.
