The MPU exists to prove people wrong when they say "Sequels are never better than the originals". Join Micah and Jordan McCaw as they analyze and discuss film franchises. Do they hold up, how do the sequels interact with the overarching narrative, is said franchise any good? Sometimes they cover movies they love, sometimes they cover movies they hate! Join us and become a part of the the MPU.
