This week we're back in theaters to check out Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026). We explore how the sequel expands the world beyond the original, break down its balance of chaos, comedy, and character development, and discuss whether the larger ensemble enhances or muddies the experience. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 35:25.
