On the Season 4 premiere of Talking Movies with My Mom, we delve into the worst sequels to our favorite movies — "Speed 2: Cruise Control" and "Highlander 2: The Quickening." We question what the producers, directors, and casts were thinking; how certain critics could give thumbs up to one of these sequels; and why … just why.
