Franchise Forum is the podcast where four longtime friends dig into film franchises you probably forgot… and maybe should’ve! Four friends. One franchise at a time. From cult classics to sequels nobody asked for, we break them down, debate them, and dive deep into the highs, lows, and “what were they thinking?” moments.
