The Runaway Franchise Bots finally wrap-up the time traveling, Sci-Fi, action, thriller Terminator with 2015’s Terminator Genisys!

For episode 50, we start off with an exciting game of flipping the cap into the cup instead of talking about Terminator: Salvation.

The Runaway Boyz are 2 weeks away from retiring this franchise but for now are back on duty with this week’s investigation on 1992’s Lethal Weapon 3. It was a challenge to parse through the seemingly cocaine fueled plot, sub-plots, sub-sub-plots, sub-sub-sub-plots…but the boyz definitely figured it all out…definitely…Okay-okay-okay-okay–run to the …

We rolled into 1989’s Lethal Weapon 2! Tom decided to participate in the drinking game associated with the franchise and tries to hum the saxophone tunes…a lot…which makes it very difficult for Dom and Ed trying to explain past current events to him.

“Took us two and a half truffles to get here!” Ed, Dom and Tom have survived another year and finished off another franchise.

AAAAAaaAAAaaAAaaAAAaaAaHhhHHhhh! Is what the Runaway Boys screamed in unison, slapping their hands to their faces as they watched 2002’s Home Alone 4. In no way do we suggest you watch this movie. If this podcast has any purpose to it, it is to watch the unwatchable so you don’t have to. Listen to our tale of misery and woe…Merry Christmas… In the …

Ed, Dom and Tom are stuck at home with the chicken pox! So, they decide to pop in the VHS player 1997’s Home Alone 3! As you would think would happen 3 movies in, the Runaway boys were getting cranky and itchy which was not looking good for this latest installment…BUT! An arch of lightning blasted from their television set creating a portal for a P…

Ed’s back from abandoning the Runaway Franchise Family (he was sick, cut him a break, also this might be him editing this to cut himself slack) and so are the McCallister’s with 1992’s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York!

This week, Ed abandons Dom and Tom as they prepare to start a new franchise with 1990’s Home Alone!

You’ll never be home alone a…

FREDDY IS VERSING JASON AND WE HAVE OUR FRIEND JAY(SON) HERE! J is back from the trail, and on the podcast. This week we had the pleasure of watching 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason. The horror-packed slugfest that is Freddy fighting Jason for the right to murder children. This movies oozes early 2000’s in pretty much every single way. Tune in to hear us b…

Wahoooooo it’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare…the one where they make a movie about making a movie with people from the movie in it and Freddy is in it but he’s Robert Englund but also Freddy. Nancy isn’t Nancy, but she’s the actress who played Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) and her Dad is now her friend. Confused yet? So is Ed. Dom and Tom think he’s a bi…

It’s the FINAL NIGHTMARE (da na naaa nunnnnnn, da na na nun nunnnnnnnn, DA NA NAAAA NUNNNNNN DA NA NA NUN NUNNNNNN) **sung to the tune of the Final Countdown** Hey, guess what? This actually isn’t the last Nightmare on Elm Street Movie. However, it’s actually not a bad one. I think Ed may be back on board, Tom’s facts hit hard, and Dom still likes …

MORE FREDDY MOVIES. Another week, another nightmare on Elm Street. This week’s nightmare of a franchise entrance is the 5th in the series and Freddy is taking it inside the womb. He may or may not be trying to possess an unborn child. A man turns into a motorcycle. The original was rated freaking X. There’s a cool comic book scene. Tom and Dom are …
  continue reading
 
This week, we’re back with another installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The OG Dream Warriors get picked off one by one, and it’s left to Alice to destroy Freddy for good. That sentence was way better sounding than the movie was. Ed is done (and may or may not have been sleeping for a large portion of the movie), Tom and Dom are st…

This week, we start off with a bang! Or burp. Nope, yeah it’s a burp. Another week another movie, and after the weirdo stink-fest that was NOES2, we are back with a pretty solid entrance into the franchise. You know Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is going to be good because they have their own custom song for the credits. Freddy’s back, …

This week, the Franchisees are plagued by technical errors. The podcast recorder decided to have a “data write error” (OR MAYBE IT WAS FREDDY HAUNTING OUR PODCAST). We hit the back of the box, and jump right into the lobby. Don’t worry, you still get all of our discussion of the best and worst parts of this wonderful film. This week in the lobby: T…

We hit 30 episodes, that’s kinda fun I guess? Well, this landmark also marks the start of a spooky new franchise…1984’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. This week on the cast, we reveal the secret behind our backlog, discuss the best death scenes in the movie, and let you guys know what our REAL actual nightmares are. Thanks for listening and don’t for…

WOWOWOWOWOW we are actually done with the Twilight Saga. We start this one off with some great snack eating while on the mic. Also there’s a guest! It turns out that there was an actual Twilight fan (kind of) amongst our friends. This sleeper agent goes by the name of Caitlin (hastagdonttellcaitlin) – purveyor of fine enamel pins over at Girly Pop …

This week, we start the two part conclusion of the epic Twilight Saga. It’s not really epic actually, but there are some wild things that shouldn’t happen in a vampire movie for teens. Ed is morally outraged by the inappropriateness of the movie, Dom immediately shares his distaste for Jell-o products, and Tom wishes we got a “baby crawlin’ out” sc…
  continue reading
 
UGH. We are still watching Twilight. Tom attempts to make some connections between Twilight: Eclipse and Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 smash hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. He even starts singing again. Ed is broken down completely (mentally and physically because it was kinda warm in the house) and might not even have a soul left after this movie. Dom mai…
  continue reading
 
This week, we enter the Twilight Saga with some curiosity, confusion, and some mild rage. Tom sings too much, and everyone wishes he’d go back to car sounds. Ed would love to do steroids but rather kill himself than play baseball (among many other things), Dom admits “the only thing that can hurt me is you”, “can we stop this noooow”, and sexual da…
  continue reading
 
Are we really doing this? Yes, we are really doing this. We legitimately started watching Twilight…for science…and entertainment! Tune in for this sexy, weird, vampirey, werewolfy saga of awkwardness. We break down this teen fantasy drama series for the greater good of the world (with a healthy dose of self-hate). We really don’t understand why peo…

Don’t forget to enter our JAWS Captain Quint Figure Giveaway! http://www.runawayfranchise.com/jawsgaw This week, we wrap up the flaming, shark-filled dumpster fire that is the Jaws franchise. What better way to do so than with our good buddy Rick from Chud Report (http://www.instagram.com/chudreport)!? This time, the shark is back and he’s ready to…

This movie would be sooooooo good if it was just Dennis Quaid sprinting through Sea World in the shortest shorts possible. Unfortunately, it’s not. This movie is a train wreck of a Sea World advertisement, but like an ad for a theme park where your entire family can get eaten by sharks. There’s an underwater shark tube hamster tube person viewer ci…

Oh my freaking goodness the best thing about this film is Manfred Zendar. Who is that? What does he have to do with a giant shark? You’ll just have to listen and find out. We latched onto this mystery man because we don’t care about Brady and his stupid dumb kids and their damn sailboat race… This week in the lobby: Heroine Chic (Comics!) http://m.…

Just when you thought it was safe to listen to another podcast (no, yeah, jk it really is safe to listen to podcasts)… We (bait and)tackle 1975’s JAWS. The original blockbuster. The original shark movie. The original really cool blazer worn by a town mayor movie. This is one of the crew’s favorite movies, but does the franchise follow along with th…
  continue reading
 
This week, we took a different approach. Instead of talking about one movie in particular, we talked about all of them! We go over the best and worst standalone movies (out of Resident Evil, Fast and Furious, and Alien) and crown a franchise king. Dom and Tom are surprisingly okay with stating their feelings, while Ed nearly has an existential cris…
  continue reading
 
This week, we have our good pal Juba on the show. Why is he qualified to talk about this movie full of large, strong guys? Because he’s a large strong guy who happens to really like the first XXX movie (not the porno, the cool Vin Diesel movie with extreme stunts). We talk about the latest installment in the FF franchise, and finally wrap it up aft…
  continue reading
 
This week, the podcasters have some sort of mental breakdown. The podcast room is hot, Tom argues over whether air and wind are the same thing, Dom can’t get through the box read, and Ed questions everything like a jerk. So is it really any different from our other episodes? Yes. Because Jason Freaking Statham is in this movie and he casually murde…
  continue reading
 
This week, we break down Fast & Furious 6. We talk about The Rock being crazy and shooting vending machines, whether Vin Diesel counts as a superhero or not, and the EPIC mid air collision of MROD and Vinny Deez. Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series. Discussion, facts, opinions, and even some ban…

This movie is where everything gets crazy, but also better? The death count is up, there’s a straight up heist, and the franchise might even take a turn for the better. Also, DWAYNE THE FREAKING ROCK JOHNSON is in this one. Runaway Franchise is the podcast where we watch movies with 4 or more films in the series. Discussion, facts, opinions, and ev…

The gang is back! Kind of. There’s so many races through tunnels that this movie will leave you feeling like a naked mole rat – blind (because, you know, dark tunnels), deaf (honestly, I’m not sure if naked mole rats are deaf but the car noises are loud as heck in this movie), and in the desert (mole rats and Vin Diesel look alike and both dwell in…
