Why Are Movie Sequels Always So Bad?
We have all been there. There is an incredible movie and we just can't wait for the sequel. We go to the theater, buy our popcorn, and sit down to a disappointing sequel.

Today we talk about why sequels tend to fail, what makes a bad sequel, and most importantly how to make a great movie sequel!
