Ep 106: Why I'm Glad There Won't Be a LETHAL WEAPON 5

Author: playthatpodcast January 29, 2026 Duration: 45:05
This is my retrospective of the iconic LETHAL WEAPON film franchise, as well as my arguments for why a fifth film is not needed (or wanted!). In this special episode, we talk about what makes these movies work, and why the challenges of making a fifth movie are simply too much to overcome at this point. I have included a clip from my conversations with Mathew Buck (host of the Film Brain YouTube channel), in which Mathew also shares his disinterest in a fifth Lethal Weapon movie.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
