About This Podcast
Hollywood keeps making them, we just knock them down!
Back to the Franchise is a comedic deep dive into the movie franchises we love and argue about. Join film nerds and best friends Timothy Glenn and Tanner Wilcox every Tuesday as we anticipate new releases by going back to the beginning. Each episode we'll break down prior installments from a major franchise, digging into behind-the-scenes stories, creative decisions, cultural impact, and—most importantly—whether it actually holds up.
Then it's onto the next franchise, as the podcast will continually stay current by tackling whatever it is the industry keeps trying to make a thing.
