Sequelitis with Loose Cannon Comedy
Loose Cannon Comedy is a group of Pittsburgh-based comedians with a drunken (but healthy) pop culture obsession. Their flagship show Sequelitis parodies the rampant mishandling of modern-day movie sequels by Hollywood hacks.

We just woke up buck naked from a lengthy coma and, man... the world is different. In this episode, the Sequelitis crew crafts a follow-up to Danny Boyle's 2002 in-no-way-relevant-to-today zombie flick "28 Days Later." And if you think we can't create a post-apocalyptic thriller featuring Dora the Explorer characters, you obviously haven't listened to this show.

This week, we're talking about a film that's mostly about social distancing. That's right— we created a sequel to 2015's slow-burn horror hit, The Witch! Ahem... excuse me, I mean "The VVitch".
And this wouldn't be a true New England Folktale without the man of 1000 New England accents himself, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who (in a shocking Plot Device development) voices all of our characters. So hey, it's a weird one. Liv...

In this classy episode of Sequelitis, we create a porn parody of 1997's weirdo Euro-sci-fi space opera, The Fifth Element. We're not proud of it. But it's a darn good porn parody. So... uh... we'll just leave it at that.

Looks like we've been missing a lot of work lately. And you know what— we HAVE been missing it, Bob! We're back in the Sequelitis Writers Room with a fresh take on Mike Judge's 1999 workplace masterwork, Office Space. And wouldn't you know it— the one time co-host Anne isn't with us— Mike, Adam and Malenock pull the gender-swap card and have to create an all-female Office Space sequel, which somehow STILL ends up starring famous ma...

It’s Halloween! What better way to celebrate than with a topical discussion of the hottest horror movie of last year— Hereditary. Adam, Mike, Jon and Anne admittedly gush for a while over the film until its pivotal character’s name is mispronounced in a hilarious way and then they fly off the rails. Not to spoil anything (after all, Hereditary can be easily ruined with spoilers), but Sean Connery is in this episode a lot.

It’s the 10th anniversary of the 6th film by Quentin Tarantino and 3 boys gather ‘round a table at StudioME to sequelize what might be Tarantino’s masterpiece. Such a feat may seem to be impossible until the Plot Device suggests a low budget rip-off of the revisionist World War II epic...

Whoa... believe it or not, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Wachowskis' turn-of-the-millenium sci-fi game-changer, The Matrix. And it's just been announced that they're making a fourth Matrix movie to boot! To celebrate, we opened up the Loose Cannon video vault to snatch audio from our first ever Sequelitis video episode, from way back in 2017.

Jagshemash! Sequelitis is back with a little Kazakh flair as the Loose Cannon gang tries their hand at sequelizing the crude but lovable Sacha Baron Cohen satire “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”
Turns out, a pure sequel isn’t easy when dealing with spoof mockumentary films, but Alex saves the day with what is easily the greatest idea in podcast history. Meanwhile, Mike and Jonny ...

This week is the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton's game-changing Batman movie. In this special, lost "Prequelitis" episode, the Loose Cannon gang creates a third Burton-helmed Batman movie starring the GOAT, Michael Keaton. (Robert Pattinson can go suck an egg.)

Ack! Ack! Ack! In this episode, the Loose Cannon Writers' Room takes aim at remaking Tim Burton's weirdly violent 1996 alien invasion spoof, "Mars Attacks!" Things take a particularly explicit turn when said remake is directed by the Hellbilly himself, Rob Zombie. Seriously, this one gets sleazy. But don't worry... you still have two out of three branches of the government working for you... and that ain't bad!
