The Cord Cutter Podcast #37: The Best Film Franchises On Streaming

Welcome to the 37th edition of The Cord Cutter Podcast! Today Mick, Adrienne and their guest, CinemaBlend Managing Director and AwardsBlend Podcast host Sean O'Connell, will talk about the best film franchises streaming has to offer right now. Movie franchises are a big deal, and they have been for decades now, but, not all franchises are created equal. Some start strong, waver and manage to rebound in quality, while others have a good first installment and either keep rolling along nicely or nose dive like nobody's business. And, because we love helping viewers figure out how best to spend their streaming time, we're going to go over all the franchises we found streaming and tell you what you need to know about each one!

Luckily for streamers who like to binge, there are plenty of film franchises that can be found across the many streaming platforms, and the genres include comedy, sci-fi, action, drama and everything in between and beyond. Today, we've broken your franchise streaming options down by service so we can tell you what's necessary viewing for film buffs and what you can go your whole life without seeing. Ready to dive in? Great! Read on to get the lowdown on this week's podcast and then listen for yourself above!
