Duel of the Greats

In our most recent original vs. sequel pairing, we have a couple of movies that many of you know very well and are part of one of the biggest franchises in history: Batman. This week we take a look at the Christopher Nolan reboot Batman Begins and it’s revolutionary sequel The Dark Knight. 

Nate gets to defend the start of the reboot series with Batman Begins. And opposing him will be Steve arguing on The Dark Knight and it’s merits. Will the “hero’s journey” structure of Batman Begins give that movie the victory this week? Or will the career defining performance by Heath Ledger of one of the most iconic villains in history give the edge to the sequel?

In space nobody can hear you scream about which movie is better, the original or the sequel. Luckily, we’re not in space, we’re on a podcast and you get to hear us argue about which is better between the first two films in the Alien franchise: Alien and Aliens. 

Jeff will defend the original that started it off with Ridley Scott’s Alien (which we discussed in season 1 if you want to go back and do some prep before this episode), and James Cameron’s (making his third appearance this season) Aliens. Will the tight setting and epic tension of the first film lead it to victory? Or will the non-stop action and lore expansion give the sequel enough to overtake the classic original?

We have such sights to show you! Err, tell you. You know what we’re trying to say. Or at least you will with this episode as we take on one of the greatest original and sequel runs for a horror movie franchise in history. This week we look at Clive Barker’s legendary Hellraiser and compare with Hellbound: Hellraiser II. 

As the resident horror nut, Jeff gets to the be the judge as Steve argues for the original Hellraiser and Nate will take the reigns of arguing for Hellbound: Hellraiser II being the superior film. Does the closed room nature of the original lend it to winning the week? Or will the expansion of the lore and the setting help the sequel take the crown?

That’s right, we’re doing one of the best original and sequel comedies in history, National Lampoon’s Vacation will go up against National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation! 

Nate will get the honor of defending the one that started it all with the documentation of the Griswold family and their cross-country trek to Wally’s World in the original Vacation. And Jeff will hop into the sleigh of the defense of the sequel that documents what happens when a famil like the Griswolds tries to host Christmas in the epic sequel, Christmas Vacation.

AHHHHH! It’s here! Another one of the “gotta have it this season” originals vs sequels comes in the form of Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. One might ask themselves how you could possibly build on the success of a runaway hit like Home Alone? Well, that’s what we’re here to answer!

Jeff will defend the original Home Alone as being better but Steve will argue that Lost in New York is the superior film. With almost the entire cast returning but a few new characters on board, which one will find it’s way towards taking the crown?
