In this episode of BJ in the Morning, we dive deep into the world of legacy sequels — the ones that landed, the ones that flopped, and the ones that probably should’ve stayed unmade. We break down how nostalgia fuels the Hollywood machine, why studios keep returning to old IPs, and what happens when filmmakers try to recapture lightning in a bottle decades later.
From long-awaited continuations to questionable cash-grabs, we look at what makes a great legacy sequel actually work, and why some completely miss the mark. We also talk about how fan expectations, brand loyalty, and the rise of “nostalgia-first” filmmaking have changed the way movies get made.
If you love discussions about modern franchise filmmaking, reboot culture, and the state of Hollywood creativity, this episode has it all.
