The So Many Sequels crew is deep into “So Many Scares” month — and this week, it’s a mix of Hollywood surprises, nostalgic rewatches, and one truly bizarre controversy.

David kicks things off with his thoughts on the Peacemaker season finale, calling it one of James Gunn’s most character-driven projects yet. Josh reviews The Smashing Machine, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s dramatic leap into awards-season acting — and whether the hype matches the film. Garrett revisits Happy Death Day and its sequel, celebrating their blend of humor, horror, and heart, while Josh revisits a 30th anniversary screening of Casper for some spooky family nostalgia.

Then the gang dives into the week’s strangest headline: Amazon removing guns from classic James Bond posters. Is it censorship, overcorrection, or just corporate weirdness? Plus, they remember the late Diane Keaton, and David runs down the weekend box office — including Tron: Ares’s disappointing debut.

Jason Voorhees is back—but also for the first time...In Friday the 13th Part 2, the hockey mask is still a dream, and our favorite slasher is deep in his bag era (literally). We talk about Jason’s first official rampage, the iconic wheelchair kill, and how this sequel tries—kind of—to build a horror legend.It’s all part of So Many Sequels vs. Jason, our month-long trip to Camp Crystal Lake. We covered the original Friday the 13th during Camp Month, but this time Jason’s running the whole show.Subscribe & leave us a comment, and let us know what you think of Friday the 13th Part 2, Jason Voorhees, and the bag vs. the hockey mask.

The So Many Sequels crew returns for another “So Many Scares” October update, and this week, we’re talking horror in the real world — the streaming wars. Prices are up, content is disappearing, and the guys ask: When did streaming become more expensive than cable? From Disney+ and Netflix hikes to Warner Bros. and Paramount losing billions, it’s a full-on battle between corporate greed and consumer sanity.

But it’s not all doom and gloom — we also share what we’ve been watching! Josh reviews Bone Lake, Garrett dives into Bug (the Oklahoma-based horror you’ve never heard of), and David talks Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and the surprise return of The Simpsons Movie 2. Plus, an outrageous box office recap where Taylor Swift reigns supreme.
