For Food & Family Month, the So Many Sequels crew dives into one of the most beloved family films of the 1990s — Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993). This week, Josh, Garrett, and David revisit the heartfelt animal adventure featuring Chance, Shadow, and Sassy, exploring why this simple story about loyalty and family still resonates decades later.

From tear-jerker moments to standout voice performances (Michael J. Fox! Don Ameche! Sally Field!), we break down the film’s emotional beats, practical animal work, and how it stacks up against today’s CGI-heavy family movies. We also debate which pet we’d be in the Homeward Bound universe, share childhood memories tied to the film, and talk about why the ending still hits hard.

It’s cozy, heartfelt, nostalgic, and absolutely perfect for the season.

We’re kicking off Food and Family Month with John Hughes’ 1989 comedy, digging into John Candy’s perfect balance of slob and softie, and why this movie still hits like a cozy holiday watch even without Christmas lights.We talk about Macaulay Culkin’s scene-stealing “jump scare” performance, Tia’s weaponized attitude, and how Uncle Buck somehow feels both chaotic and weirdly responsible.Is Buck actually the best kind of uncle, or a walking red flag?

We spent an evening with Cat Miller, prop master for Severance and Uncut Gems, and the behind-the-scenes details blew our minds. From custom-built vintage computers to iconic movie props, this is a craft you never get to hear about.This week on So Many Sequels, we kick off a new month with a deep dive into the art of prop-making after attending a live talk with industry pro Kat Miller. Then we break down what we’ve been watching — including Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, the wildly tonal Nuremberg, and the nostalgia trip of Richie Rich.
