We all know that if a movie is successful enough (aka makes bank), a sequel is inevitable.  It's usually unnecessary but there are rare occasions when the sequel actually improves on the original.  Well, your FYC Film Review hosts are here to tell you all about those ones.  There may even be a little Sister Act debate snuck in.

FYC Deep Cuts: Movie Sequels Better Than The Original

It's time to end the debate on whether this 1988 action extravaganza is a Christmas movie or not.  FYC Film Review is here to say that "Die Hard" without a shadow of doubt, IS a holiday joy that should be enjoyed along side Santa's cookies.  Take a trip back with us and John McClane for a little yippie-ki-yay!

FYC Film Review: Die Hard Movie Review

The Italian Stallion is back for a seventh time!  This round he's outside the ring in a fresh take on the boxing legend's legacy.  Director Ryan Coogler's 2015 film stars Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.  A great cast, great score, and fresh boxing action take this Rocky Balboa entry to the top of the rankings.

FYC Film Review: "Creed" Movie Review

Before the "Dude" hit the bowling alleys, Jeff Bridges was roaming the arcade world as Kevin Flynn in the 1982 sci-fi flick, "Tron".  Stunning visual effects over shadow a strong story of a computer programmer who is swept into the digital world.  After 40 years "Tron" is still a gem of a film possibly too early for it's own good.

FYC Film Review: "Tron" (1982) Movie Review

The late 90s/early 2000s were chalk full of high school comedies both good and bad.  2004 gave us Tina Fey's screenwriting debut and another Lindsay Lohan hit with "Mean Girls".  Numerous Saturday Night Live alum pop up in cameos and Rachel McAdams is great as the queen bee of the "plastics".  Time to revisit those classic high school cliques!

FYC Film Review: "Mean Girls" Movie Review

Strange things are brewing here at FYC.  We're bringing you a fresh new release for our film choice on this review episode.  Sam Raimi is back in the Marvel universe after his good if not uneven Spider-Man trilogy.  This time around he's going mad with a multiverse and bringing something new to the MCU.

FYC Film Review: "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" Movie Review

In the late 90s there wasn't a movie made that didn't star Adam Sandler...or at least that's what it felt like.  Lost in the shuffle of such memorable characters like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore or The Waterboy is 1999's "Big Daddy".  A story of a slacker too old to be slacking who adopts a child in an attempt to seem more grown up.  While not the best Sandler has done the movie had heart and a few great cameos by Steve Buscemi and Rob Schneider.

FYC Film Review: "Big Daddy" Movie Review

The great debate that you weren't asking for!  Somehow the FYC crew couldn't agree on whether the sequel to Sister Act is superior to it's predecessor.  Spoilers....it isn't.  But the guys did have fun comparing the two films starring your favorite nun, Whoopi!

After taking a breather we're back, pulling double jury duty for the latest She-Hulk episodes. (3 & 4).  Come twerk along with us for a recap of the episodes and to hear what we think is coming next.

FYC TV Review: She Hulk Episode 3 & 4 Recap

"Their First Assignment" is our last Police Academy review.  We just love to go back to the well and after reviewing the 3rd installment of this beloved? franchise we thought we would check out the 2nd as well.  Turns out that wasn't the best idea we've had.  Not even an extra dose of Bobcat Goldthwait was enough to keep us entertained on this one.

FYC Film Review: "Police Academy 2" Movie Review

Well we've made it past the half way point in the new Marvel show "She-Hulk" and what have we got?  Not much.  Some cute moments, some promise, but overall a lack of direction.  This got us moving in the opposite way and moving on from the series.  Tell us what we're missing and why we shouldn't give up just yet!

FYC TV Review: "She Hulk" Episode 5 | Recap & Review

Released during the "Renaissance" period of Disney animation, Hercules is perhaps the forgotten treasure of the bunch.  As the move to computer animation was happening with the huge success of Toy Story, this tale of the half god hero is underrated in our opinion.  The classic Greek tale is retold in the Disney way with great direction and a catchy soundtrack.

A gripping historical biopic on Udham Singh, a revolutionary who spent nearly twenty years plotting his revenge on the men responsible for the brutal Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

We went in the way back machine for another recommendation from the audience.  This time it's '3 Idiots', a comedy from the late 2000s about two friends on the search for their estranged college friend.  The story is told in both present time and flash backs and is an excellent comedy full of heart.

The genius that was Paul Reubens will mostly be remembered for his infamous character Pee-Wee Herman.  What started as part of his stand up, turned into a hit with kids and later spawned a Saturday morning television show.  Between that we were treated to the directorial debut of Tim Burton and his first pairing with composer Danny Elfman in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.  I wild tale of a boy and his bike.  Something only the incredible Paul could make entertaining for all.  RIP Mr. Reubens.

The action hero becomes an action figure in the 1996 Christmas comedy Jingle All The Way.  A desperate father fights the crowds and a mailman in an attempt to land the hottest toy of the season for his son.  Despite having Arnold Schwarzenegger this holiday film is no classic in our eyes.

Jingle All The Way (1996) Movie Review

Who says you can never go home again?  You may not want to but sometimes fate will bring you face to face with your high school crush in hilarious ways.  A pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds plays a formerly friend zoned guy trying to reconnect with the girl that he likes in his hometown.  In tow is the hilarious Anna Faris as a pop-star a la Brittney Spears in this awesomely underrated holiday comedy.

Just Friends (2005) Movie Review

He-Man had the power long before they attempted to bring him to life on the big screen.  A hugely popular toy becomes a cartoon that becomes a movie and well......it's no Barbie.  Dolph Lundgren gives his best? shot at playing He-Man but unfortunately this movie falls flat for your FYC hosts.  Let us know your thoughts on the loin-clothed hero from Eternia in the 1987 Masters of the Universe.

Team Godzilla?  Team King Kong?  How about a team UP of the two legendary monsters?  That is what's in store for your FYC hosts this time around.  The new Godzilla x Kong is large, loud, and lacking story but we had a good time...sort of.  Let us know your thoughts on the new movie and our review!

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) - Movie Review

Where does a comedy end and a thought provoking look at organized religion begin?  The movie PK brings the laughs but also brings some deep questions on faith and humanity and we are here for it.  Starring the awesome Aamir Khan bringing to life an alien stuck on earth trying to find the god that will answer his prayers to go home.  What are your thoughts on PK?

PK (2014) - Movie Review

A superhero strikes like lightning or "Minnal" in this case.  A strong story and good direction make up for a bloated run time in this action adventure starring Tovino Thomas in the lead role.  We're ready for a sequel!

Minnal Murali (2021) - Movie Review

Eddie Murphy is back as Detective Axel Foley for a fourth installment some 40 years after he first debuted the character.  All your favorites from the franchise make appearances but is it enough nostalgia to make the film worth it?  Your FYC hosts are at odds over this and debate away on this new review of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) - Movie Review

A story that has been told time and time again...only animated!  Disney tackles the classic tale of Robin and his merry men, err animals as they rob from the rich and give to the poor.

The FYC duo had to enlist the help of a fellow dream warrior to tackle another Freddy Krueger franchise film.  The third installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is chock full of familiar faces and takes the fight to Freddy in a direct sequel to the original Elm Street film.  Some would even say this is the best of all films with this classic horror monster!  Check out this new review from FYC with special guest star G.G. Abrahams.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) Movie Review

John Carpenter, the master or horror behind such classics as "Halloween" and "The Thing" brings a different take on the possession genre with a little science fiction flair in this lessor known 80s flick, Prince of Darkness.  Reuniting with Dr. Loomis himself (Donald Pleasence) and with a surprise appearance by Alice Cooper this cheesy, yet intriguing horror film is quite entertaining.  We are joined by special guest G.G. Abrahams of the Ridiculous World of G.G. Abrahams in this latest episode of FYC Film Review.

Disney hits the high seas of the Pacific with Lin Manuel Miranda songs and The Rock singing.  Moana was so popular that is already spawned a successful sequel AND a live action version coming soon.
