Some movies should have been left alone… but Hollywood couldn’t help itself.
In this episode of The Movie Knights Roundtable, we break down movies that should NOT have gotten sequels. From controversial follow-ups like Joker 2 to unnecessary comedy sequels, franchise overextensions, and legacy cash grabs that missed the point of the original.
We dive into what makes a bad sequel, the biggest mistakes studios make when continuing stories, and which films actually hurt their legacy by getting another installment. Plus, we pitch some wild sequel ideas and play a game to wrap it all up.
