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!
