Terminator 2, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and More of Our Favorite Sci-Fi Sequels
On the February 29, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about some of their favorite sci-fi sequels.Opening Banter: Full disclosure, this episode might be chaotic. I had several plans for a themed Leap Day episode, and every single one of them ended up falling through, leaving me scrambling to come up with something to do at the last minute. But Ryan suggested we talk about some of our favorite sci-fi sequels in honor of Dune: Part Two, and since that movie actually does seem big enough to justify multiple episodes about it (or at least episodes that are ostensibly related to it), that sounded like a good idea to me.In Our Feature Presentation:Ryan’s favorite sci-fi sequels10 Cloverfield LaneAliensConquest of the Planet of the ApesBen’s favorite sci-fi sequelsTerminator 2: Judgment DayStar Trek II: The Wrath of KhanStar Wars: The Empire Strikes BackAll the other stuff you need to know:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
