×We're back and we're spoofin' and goofin' yet again with THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR. Is this sequel, full of laughs and gags, as funny as the first film? Or is it the start of those dreaded diminishing returns? Or can we barely remember what happens in it and try to avoid talking about it for as long as we possibly can? Listen to find out. We also talk about our favourite bizarre Toronto eatery Fancy Induced Burger and discuss a few films we've been watching recently including THE THIN RED LINE, ANOMALISA, THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, THE HOT CHICK, MORTAL KOMBAT, a Fassbinder triple bill, Orson Welles' FILMING OTHELLO, and EATING RAOUL. Next week we return with the third and final film in the original run of the franchise, THE NAKED GUN 33 1/3: THE FINAL INSULT.

In anticipation of the upcoming, similarly titled THE NAKED GUN (2025), we're looking back through the files of Police Squad an covering the beloved, hilarious, zany, and ZAZy NAKED GUN franchise. We're talking, spoofs, goofs, laughs, larfs, farts, and toots. We're talking Leslie Nielsen and Zucker Abrahams Zucker. Many of us have fond memories of watching these films on TV back in the day, but do they hold up? But wait, there's more! Ben talks about the rom(?)-com(?) MATERIALISTS and also celebrates Pride Month with some queer cinema picks such as YOUNG SOUL REBELS, SHINJUKU BOYS, JE TU IL ELLE, and MALA NOCHE. Alex also talks about the recent Pee-Wee Herman documentary. Next week the spoofs, goofs, and loofs continue with NAKED GUN 22 1/2!

They made the chimps watch too much LiveLeak and it infected them with Rage, cut to 28 days later and the entire British Isle is fucked. That's right, we're getting our MiniDV cams out and going back to the glorious days of post-9/11 with 28 DAYS LATER. This film reinvented a genre when it came out... but how does it hold up now? Joining us are the three lads from a new screening series in Toronto: Truth and Dare. Each month Nick Armstrong, Adam Bovoletis, and Sacha Kingston-Wayne program cutting-edge documentaries that challenge the idea of what a doc needs to be. Before we talk about this weeks film we also discuss some recent stuff we've been watching: VULCANIZADORA, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, MOUNTAINHEAD, and of course the actual first film in this franchise, the Sandra Bullock comedy 28 DAYS. Adam also walks us through his 29th birthday movie marathon and we all try out Shaq-a-licious XL gummies to determine whether or not they truly taste like Shaq. Come see Ben's film CHERUB next week on June 22nd at 3pm at the Paradise Theatre and then head to the latest Truth and Dare screening TREASURED STACKS OF JODIE MACK, a retrospective of the incomparable experimental filmmaker Jodie Mack. That screening is also on June 22nd at 7pm at CineCycle, PWYC.

So it's come to this... the FINAL RECKONING. We've had so many reckonings over this series but this is the last one, we promise. To help us process this reckoning we've enlisted friend of the show, past + future + current guest, and musician extraordinaire Rob McLay. There's much to talk about but before we get into the film we also discuss some other movies we've been watching lately: THE SWIMMER, BAD SHABBOS, SCARFACE, and two less-than classic Tom Cruise vehicles KNIGHT AND DAY and THE MUMMY. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING is such a strange film; an awkward, unwieldy, exposition beast that also has two of the greatest action set pieces in the series (and cinema) history. We're all still processing the silliness so in many ways this podcast episode is more our own attempt at clarity than it is a review for you the listener. All the same, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

We're back and we're talking about MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, the first reckoning of an epic two-part reckoning. Ben remembers enjoying this one back in theatres in 2023, Alex has never seen it. Does it hold up? Is it a mess? Is the franchise past its prime??? Before we answer these questions (and more!) we also talk about the Cannes Film Festival and some other films we've been watching: FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES, A BETTER MAN, THE MONKEY, THE SHROUDS, FLIGHT RISK, M. BUTTERFLY, IMPERIAL GREEN (and more!)

We're back, Ben's been fired and replaced with friend of the pod/past and future guest Jordan Seccareccia, and Ethan Hunt saves the world again. We're talking MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT, what some consider the zenith of the franchise. Who are those some? Why your good friends Jordan and Ben. Will they be able to convince Alex to join the Fallout team? It's our most impossible mission yet! We don't talk about any other movies on this episode (save for Jordan's brief review of the new FINAL DESTINATION flick) but Ben regales us about his trip to New York City, telling us of all the wonderful celebrities he rubbed shoulders with.

We're back, we've formed a Rogue Nation whatever that is and we have two very special guests leading the revolution: Corporal Niko Block of the Fail Army (and AWOL social media coordinator of The Franchisees) and Dr. Yuki, foremost scholar of and PhD-haver in Tom Cruise Studies. We also talk about some other movies such as WARFARE, SINNERS, CHILDREN OF MEN, BETWEEN THE LINES, and PYAASA. Then, Dr. Yuki shares her Top 5 Cruise Performances, followed by the similar but different Top 5 Sexiest Cruise Performances. What films will make the list? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen and find out! Join us next week for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT, what some (Ben) consider the zenith of the franchise.

We're initiating ghost protocol, we've initiated it before and we're initiating it again. People have said some very bad things about our friend Ethan Hunt, some very nasty things. But we're going to initiate ghost protocol and make the IMF great again! We're back after a brief hiatus (sorry) with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL. Tom Wilkinson initiates ghost protocol (whatever that means) before getting shot in the head. Jeremy Renner of the famous Jeremy Renner App joins the team and Tom Cruise scales the tallest building in the world. We also talk about some other movies we've been watching like WARFARE, SINNERS, MISERICORDIA, I WAS BORN BUT..., GOOD MORNING, and the new restoration of BATANG WEST SIDE.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to remember the name of the Hollywood Hack who directed MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III... who is it... what's his stupid name again... ah whatever I forget. Devin Shears joins us again to talk M:I III, the GOAT Philip Seymour Hoffman, and what is in many ways the craziest iteration of Tom Cruise/Ethan Hunt yet: the normal wife guy. He loves his wife! We also talk about some movies we've been watching including THE APPRENTICE, THE FLORIDA PROJECT, and MISERICORDIA. The boys teach Devin about "prone bone" and Ben tells another enchanting story from his life rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood Elite (in this case, Miles Teller at the Front & Spadina LCBO) Join us next week for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL Follow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter and email us at thefranchiseespod@gmail.com…

Three incredible artistic talents came together at the beginning of the millennium to create an astounding work of art: Tom Cruise, John Woo, and Limp Bizkit... together they produced MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 and we thank them every goddamn day of our lives. We're back to discuss M: I 2 with connoisseur of early 2000s cinema/vibes Katherine Vienneau. We've got the Chimera Virus, we've got Thandiwe Newton, we've got Dougray Scott oh my god we've got Dougray Scott. We've got masks galore, we've got sexual Tom Cruise having sexual sex, we've got at least a little bit of that classic John Woo doves and slo-mo and heroic bloodshed. We also pay our respects to Val Kilmer, Rest in Peace, and our disrespects to former friend of the show Paul Schrader, Rest in Piss. We talk about a very special Buckcherry appearance at Woodstock '99, and also recount our favourite Val Kilmer movies (TOP SECRET!, THE DOORS, THE SALTON SEA, and REAL GENIUS). Alex also tells us about the latest British comedy THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND which, unfortunately, sets up Ben to do sevearl Carey Mulligan impressions.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to this podcast. Please listen to it, please! Please accept the mission, we love you and we accept you, won't you accept us?? MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, the 1996 Cruise-De Palma classic! What can you say? Well, one of us likes it and the other is lukewarm. Still, it's nice to huff that new franchise smell! Before we talk about M:I and Tom Cruise and Brian De Palma, Ben fills us in on his recent trip to the BFI Flare Film Festival in jolly old London, England. He also shares his Top 5 Most British People he met. We talk about lots and lots of other movies on this episode, including CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER, THE ELECTRIC STATE, BLACK BAG, HEAT, PRINCESS MONONOKE, THE BOY FRIEND, VENGEANCE IS MINE, THE STUNT MAN, GIRL 6, and we even talk a little TV as Alex has recently watched ADOLESCENCE.

Three desperate men on a sweaty search for gold... sounds like this podcast, baby! We're back with the final episode in our Dollars Trilogy series, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. Joining us is our good friend Jordan Seccareccia, thereby mirroring and completing the titular trio. Which one of us is good, which one is bad, and which one is ugly? Or are we each perhaps some odd combination? You'll have to listen to find out! We also talk about lots and lots of other movies, including new and recent releases like MICKEY 17, SEVEN VEILS, FLIGHT RISK, BLACK BAG, JUROR #2, as well as old classics like UNFORGIVEN, AMADEUS, SEVEN SAMURAI, and JULIEN DONKEY-BOY. There's also a years-in-the-making payoff partway through the episode that you won't want to miss! Next week, new franchise - Mission: Impossible!
