We may not have spent much time talking about it, but the actors strike loomed over our humble little podcast. Now that it is apparently over, we talk about the ramifications it had and what it means for the future. We also have a discussion about the the prequel to Stephen King's It, Welcome to Derry. There are plenty of stories to be told and the possibilities for a strong King property are there.

Leprechaun is a strange franchise. It is well-known with even people who have never watched any of them being able to name some of the movies in the franchise. And the titular character is a popular one. It is a smaller series whose first two entries were released in theaters before the rest went straight to video. Until 2014's Leprechaun: Origins.

The WWE Studios release is an interesting one that moves the franchise away from its comedy horror roots and goes all in on the scares. The jokes have all been removed and the film has become a creature feature. How well does it work? Well the fact that the next entry was a return to what the Leprechaun is known for says it all.

Hell House LLC is another franchise that does not have the largest fanbase. While there is not one villain, there is an overarching story. The fourth installment adds to the lore while staying true to its original roots. We talk about the surprisingly strong characters, the straightforward storytelling, and whether we would want to see more of the found footage movies.
