Join Stephen Foxworthy, Brett Wright, and Tucker as they dive into the specifics of those ’Franchises of One’ - films that were meant to kick off major film franchises... but ultimately failed to do so! Together they examine the people, properties, and potential of each ’failed franchise starter’ with wit and humor without ’punching down.’

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when the going gets tough --"
-- "The tough make lemonade!"
Jerkin! Listen to Disenfranchised! You’re not cool unless you’re listening to Disenfranchised talk about this movie that was ahead of it’s time!
We discuss the film’s extreme satirical tone that flew over people’s heads, our love for every single member of this cast (yes, even Tara Reid), and how could we not gush about that soundtrack!

Thursday May 04, 2023
Trapped in a world we never made! What better way to ease back into new episodes than by celebrating both the release of a new Guardians of the Galaxy films AND Star Wars Day (May the 4th... be with you) than by talking about the first EVER theatrically-released Marvel film which just HAPPENS to be produced by Star Wars creator George Lucas?? This week, we get into the history, cast, and legacy of 1986's Howard the Duck! Join us, won't you?

REWIND 004 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984)
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
"Don't be mean! We don't have to be mean 'cuz, remember, no matter where you go, there you are."
For over two years, Disenfranchised was a two-man operation until, back in January, we invited a third into the fold! As we finish up our Spring Break Rewind, we look back to the first time the three current hosts got together on mic, beginning the journey that would lead to Tucker entering as host! We're talking about Peter Weller, this film's famous cult status, and speculating wildly on what that watermelon could possibly be for!

REWIND 003 - Evil Dead (2013)
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
"You don't understand. He's not gonna let you leave, and he's not gonna stop 'til he has you... until he has all of you!"
It's been a full-on decade since the last time an Evil Dead film graced the silver screen and it's been two-and-a-half since we covered that film on this very podcast! So, since we're still on vacation and with Evil Dead Rise coming to theaters, we're bringing that episode back for this episode of our Spring Break Rewind! We talk about our individual histories with the Evil Dead franchise, whether this qualifies as a remake or a reboot, and give our rankings of the entire franchise! Join us... or you might be dead by dawn!

REWIND 002 - Dracula (1979)
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
"You fools! Do you think with your crosses and your wafers you can destroy me? Me! You do not know how many men have come against me. I am the king of my kind!"
We're still on vacation, but there's a new movie out this week in which Nic Cage plays Dracula! (It's called Renfield!) So, with that in mind, we're looking back to when we talked about Frank Langella's turn as the immortal Count during our very first ever Spooky-thon! We are effusive in our love for Donald Pleasance, review the big screen history of Dracula leading up to the release of this film, and discuss what we thing does and does not work about this attempt by Universal to revive their monstrous brand! Join us, won't you?

We're taking a much needed break this month, but we know you need entertainment, so we're pulling out the stops and gathering a few of our favorites out of the archives for your listening pleasure! To start, in honor of The Super Mario Bros. Movie now in theaters, we're taking you back to our VERY FIRST EPISODE in which we cover the world's VERY FIRST VIDEO GAME MOVIE! Behold the awkwardness of two hosts who still haven't ironed all the kinks out and bask in Stephen's uncharacteristic over-preparedness!

132 - Cemetery Man a.k.a. Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
"Oh, you know how things are. Life goes on."
They say that when a month has five Thursdays, Tucker appears on the fifth one to show us all an obscure and fantastical film from the shelves of an old, abandoned video store lost in time. This week, he's brought us an Italian movie that will make you question reality and wonder what you just watched.
We discuss Italian horror cinema, Stephen's complete confusion at the plot, and we speculate wildly about what is going on in this thing!
Some interesting things we found after we recorded this episode:
- An interview with Rupert Everett about Dellamorte Dellamore (a.k.a. Cemetery Man): https://youtu.be/FKyUwPJ-tzI
- A recent region-free BluRay release from Shameless of Dellamorte Dellamore (Warning: NSFW cover art!): https://www.shameless-films.com/product/dellamorte-dellamore-blu-ray/

131 - Hitman (2007)
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
"I'm gonna ask you a question. How you answer it will determine how this night ends. How does a good man decide when to kill?"
Brett is on the run from a clandestine organization out for blood so this week it's Stephen and Tucker discussing this 2007 video game adaptation ahead of the new John Wick movie and boy, oh boy, do the boys get into some tangents! We eulogize the late, great Lance Reddick, discuss our Criterion Collection wishlists, talk about some of our favorite Timothy Olyphant-adjacent television shows, and, when we have time, try to talk about the movie!
