About Failure to Franchise
A bi-weekly podcast devoted to infamous examples of failed film-franchise starters. In a Hollywood landscape dominated by giant tentpole movies, not all attempted franchises can succeed. Many intended first entries of a series fail to generate the planned sequels due to low box office, poor judgement, or, simply put... utter incompetence. This show is a celebration of (or perhaps a memorial for) those failures, as hosts Trev and Chris dissect what went wrong with these cinematic misfires. @F2Fpod on all the socials! Like us there, Like us everywhere!

[…] Howard character But I do enjoy this movie, even though, like Brian said, I know it's not great. I know it's not good. Of these three movies, I actually like this one more than Conan the Destroyer. I just think there's something very watchable about it. It's short. It's got a lot of what I do love about these movies at the time. The great sets, great costumes, pretty fun action at times, pretty incompetent action at other times. But I like this cast of characters. I like this band of characters that kind of groups together. […]
