  • MIB23 (Our 100th Episode Sequtacular!)
    Oct 8 2026

    Happy 100th episode of Sequels 2: Rise of the Franchise! In this very special celebration episode, we're looking at two franchises that came so close to a crossover back in 2014. Although it never materialized, thanks to the North Korean government, we are able to learn about it (as well as some personal emails from Scott Rudin and Amy Pascal). Join the secret society of writers, Ian, Sam, and Spencer (Also known as Agents I, S, and disgraced former agent Sapienza) as we break down the secret story of when MIB met Jump St. with the help of past guests, and the return of goo news. Will Agent M return from Antarctica? Who does Jonah Hill flirt with problematically? Will the aliens need more medicine? Will we have too much to discuss and end up completely ignoring that time Rip Torn tried to rob a bank because he drunkenly mistook it for his house? Tune in to find out in MIB23.
