by Trev & Chris 2020
A bi-weekly podcast devoted to infamous examples of failed film-franchise starters. In a Hollywood landscape dominated by giant tentpole movies, not all attempted franchises can succeed. Many intended first entries of a series fail to generate the planned sequels due to low box office, poor judgement, or, simply put... utter incompetence. This show is a celebration of (or perhaps a memorial for) those failures, as hosts Trev and Chris dissect what went wrong with these cinematic misfires. @F2Fpod on all the socials!

<p class="p1">The third installment of "Mark WahlTURD & the Yucky Bunch" jumps ahead 15 years to 2018, where Mark Wahlberg, now very much a movie star, is looking to team up with director Peter Berg, his recent favorite collaborator, for a new espionage action thriller. But it's a rocky road to get there, as the movie in question was originally developed as a potential star vehicle for a totally different performer. Why did Mile 22 evolve into something else entirely? How did Wahlberg's "James Silva" go from supporting role to main character? What is a "gauntlet movie," and does Mile 22 fit the definition? And, most importantly, is the movie any good, and did it deserve sequels? We discuss all this, and more!</p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://twitter.com/F2Fpod">Our Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/F2Fpod/">Our Facebook</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/f2fpod/?igshid=plie61g806fv">Our Instagram</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXDF13TiGEI8RadV8IGgDtQ">Our YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/trevorsnyder/">Trev's Letterboxd</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/Chris_SRG/">Chris' Letterboxd</a></p>

<p class="p1">"Mark WahlTURD & the Yucky Bunch" rolls along into 2003, when a much-in-need-of-a-comeback Mark Wahlberg decided to hop on the then popular trend of remaking classic '60s heist movies, with a modern update of the beloved Michael Caine crime caper The Italian Job. Here, Wahlberg and a crew of fellow eccentric thieves (a "funky bunch," if you will) seek to pull off a heist as revenge against a former compatriot who has done them wrong. The movie's action scenes undeniably started a Mini Cooper popularity boom, but what about the rest of the movie? Is it as sexy as The Thomas Crown Affair? Is it as cool as Ocean's Eleven? Why did one of its stars hate being in it? And, most importantly for our theme, did it reignite Wahlberg's flailing movie star career? We discuss all this, and more!</p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://twitter.com/F2Fpod">Our Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/F2Fpod/">Our Facebook</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/f2fpod/?igshid=plie61g806fv">Our Instagram</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXDF13TiGEI8RadV8IGgDtQ">Our YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/trevorsnyder/">Trev's Letterboxd</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/Chris_SRG/">Chris' Letterboxd</a></p>

<p class="p1">Here at Failure to Franchise, we don’t like making fun of actors. So trust us when we say our new theme, “Mark WalhTURD and the Yucky Bunch,” dedicated to four failed franchise starters from Boston rapper-turned-actor Mark Wahlberg, is, uh, a tribute. First up, 2001’s Planet of the Apes remake, which was meant to be Wahlberg’s first foray into mega-blockbuster leading man territory. Helmed by beloved Hollywood weirdo Tim Burton, and featuring incredible makeup effects by Rick Baker, the film seemed like a can’t-miss attempt to reboot the classic sci-fi franchise. Instead, it left the series in need of another reboot attempt a decade later. What went wrong? We’re here to figure it out!</p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://twitter.com/F2Fpod">Our Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/F2Fpod/">Our Facebook</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/f2fpod/?igshid=plie61g806fv">Our Instagram</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXDF13TiGEI8RadV8IGgDtQ">Our YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/trevorsnyder/">Trev's Letterboxd</a></p> <p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/Chris_SRG/">Chris' Letterboxd</a></p>
