Sequels That Aren't Sequels (The Sequel) - Summary

Summary

The video is a review of two films: "American Psycho 2" and "Jingle All The Way 2". The host, Drew, starts by expressing his dislike for Hollywood's practice of marketing standalone movies as sequels, citing "American Psycho 2" as an example. He explains that the movie was initially conceived as a different film, "The Girl Who Wouldn't Die", but was later rebranded as a sequel to "American Psycho" due to an executive's epiphany. Drew criticizes this decision, arguing that it cheapens the original film and is insulting to the viewer's intelligence.

Drew then delves into his love for "American Psycho", appreciating its satirical take on the lifestyle of wealthy individuals. He criticizes "American Psycho 2" for its portrayal of Mila Kunis' character, Rachael Newman, who is depicted as a serial killer. Drew finds the character's actions and dialogue to be cringe-worthy and inconsistent with the original film's tone.

The host then moves on to review "Jingle All The Way 2", a comedy about a dad competing with another dad to buy a Christmas present for his daughter. Drew finds the plot to be unrealistic and outdated, but acknowledges that the film delivers on the laughs.

Finally, Drew offers a 10% discount on Squarespace's website for viewers who want to create their own website, using the code "drew" to access the offer. He concludes the video by thanking Squarespace for sponsoring the video and wishing his viewers a blessed Saturday night.
