Every Damn Frame
Every Damn Frame is the deep-dive film podcast where three entertainment industry veterans watch every single entry of a cinematic franchise—in order, frame-by-frame—to answer one core question: What actually transforms a series of movies into a multi-billion-dollar Hollywood franchise? Hosted by Liz Shannon Miller (Senior Entertainment Editor at Consequence), Asa Tait (producer and animation executive), and Jesse Vigil (game designer and USC professor), Every Damn Frame combines insider business analysis, production realities, and deep-cut filmmaking trivia with the unhinged joy of watching iconic film series unfold from start to finish. From box office gambles and studio politics to cult classics, bizarre sequels, and forgotten spin-offs, we dissect the financial, creative, and cultural DNA of cinema’s biggest intellectual properties. Whether we’re analyzing award-winning masterpieces or laughing our way through straight-to-video sequels, we look past the shiny PR sizzle reels to find the gritty truth behind Hollywood’s biggest IPs. Watch along with us, frame by frame. Subscribe now to dissect the business, the lore, and the making-of chaos behind your favorite movie franchises. New episodes drop on Tuesdays!

We're so close to being finished watching every damn frame of Resident Evil! We just have to do this last little relatively simple job and OH DAMMIT OUCH don't be an LJ, Bryan! As we dig into director Zach Cregger's just-released reboot, you're getting our very new and honest reactions, but you're also getting:
- Stories about doing an escape room with Zach Cregger!
- More great facts about Constantin films!
- Uncomfortable similar...
This week: we ride motorcycle, we shoot gun, we make bad joke, we fire rocket launcher - all in our own personal way. After saying we weren't gonna do it, our hosts have in fact seen ALL FOUR computer-generated "canon" Resident Evil movies and for once, listening to this episode will take less time than watching the films yourself! Amazing! You know who else is amazing? Leon S. Kennedy. Listen as our hosts admit they fina...
Itchy Tasty. Why did Leon take this job? Why did WE take this job? Is there something in the water, or is watching every damn frame of Johannes Roberts' Welcome to Raccoon City slowly driving us insane? We stopped off at Blockbuster on the way to Planet Hollywood to buy a used DVD of this first attempt at a live action reboot to see what a Resident Evil movie is like without every gamer's lea...
Hop in the ThunderTank and get ready for OUR Retaliation Mode, because it's time to discuss 2016's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich and their daughter as the Red Queen. We discuss the fine art of gaslighting your way through a "previously on" and various little girls with scientist dads and get very excited about the prospect of an all new CO...
We're back! Our podcast software tried to kill us but luckily we injected it with a special parasite that lets it drive motorcycles and still upload podcasts! This week our hosts discuss 2012's Resident Evil Retribution written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring lots of old friends who might have to die to pay the gamer tax on the new friends. Franchise talk gets super interesting as we hurtle towards Th...
SURPRISE SUNGLASSES ATTACK! It’s The Resident Evil Afterlife episode. We are so back! And so is Paul W.S. Anderson in the director’s chair. Milla Jovovich is also back. And back. And back as we go so far beyond doublin’ up the hotties. But who else is back (apart from Liz, Asa, and Jesse?) Join us as we discuss 2010’s fourth installment in the Resident Evil franchise and discover how you create the fourth in...
We're joining the convoy this week. Whose convoy? You know whose convoy! Accept no substitutes! Join us as we discuss every damn frame of Russel Mulchay's 2007 film Resident Evil Extinction, written by Milla Jovovich's now-husband Paul W.S. Anderson. We use the power of our minds not to manipulate firestorms but instead go deep on the concept of a trilogy versus a series, as well as the business of filmmaking in the ...
We're are now definitely residents of the evil (even if we don’t know what that means.) Join as as we discuss every damn frame of 2004’s Resident Evil Apocalypse, directed by Alexander Witt and written by Milla Jovovich’s now-boyfriend Paul W. S. Anderson. Your Raccoon Squad of Liz, Jesse, and Asa can finally dig into the art and business of franchises because there are now two installments, but the biggest cliffh...
We're all going to die down here! Our show kicks off with every damn frame of Appropriately Hot director Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil - join us as we discover the Raccoon Police, what puts the T in T-Virus, and how to pronounce “Milla Jovovich.” (Milla, we are so, so sorry.)
Topics of great import this episode:
