When in doubt, just recycle an old franchise.
There's "Freakier Friday" and "The Naked Gun" hitting theaters. "Happy Gilmore 2" just dropped on Netflix.
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is another attempt at the comic book series.
Are you into science fiction? Hulu brings the "Alien" franchise to the small screen with the new "Alien: Earth" series. And then there is the "Predator" franchise, which crosses over with "Alien" from time to time, returning later this year with a new movie, "Predator: Badlands."
On this week's episode, co-hosts Terry Lipshetz and Bruce Miller talks about what's being recycled this year, including the third installment of the "Avatar" franchise that is finally coming back after production delays.
