Popeye the Slayer Man 2 gets a first look as production for the horror sequel prepares to blow us down

Hollywood news ,

Well, blow me down! The public-domain horror movie Popeye the Slayer Man is getting a sequel, and production is already underway. Cameras are officially rolling in upstate New York, with Daniel Baldwin (Homicide: Life on the Street) and Avaryana Rose (The Caretaker) recently added to the cast. In addition to announcing the new cast members, the studio released a first look at the upcoming horror sequel (shown below).

Who is Popeye the Slayer Man?

Naturally, the film revolves around Popeye, the legendary sailor man, whose consumption of contaminated spinach in the first film made him a crazed killer. Fueled by spinach and rage, Popeye goes on a rampage to get revenge after discovering demolition plans for his dockside home. As police hunt the supernaturally strong sailor man, and his estranged family attempts to reach him, bodies continue to sink toward Davey Jones’ Locker.

Jeff Miller hypes Popeye the Slayer Man 2

“This movie is bigger and bloodier than the first. More kills and gore and more Popeye backstory,” said producer Jeff Miller. “Fans of the original won’t be disappointed, and we believe we’ll get new fans with this one.”

Popeye the Slayer Man 2 stars returning actors Sean Michael Conway, Elena Juliano, Sarah Nicklin, Nathan Todaro, and Jason Stephens in the title role. Baldwin will play the town’s mayor, while Rose, whose character founded the anti-cyberbullying platform Babes Against Bullying, plays his daughter. Other newcomers include Chelsea Gilson, Mia Rose, Derek Poole, and Jesse Wakeman.

Robert Michael Ryan returns to direct the sequel, written by John Doolan, with Jeff Miller, Cuyle Carvin, and Ryan contributing to the story.

I’ve not seen Popeye the Slayer Man (read our review here), but I want to. I used to love watching horror movies like The Gingerdead Man, Jack Frost, and Uncle Sam. A lot of passion goes into making these public-domain horror films, even if they look silly at first glance. I don’t hold Popeye as something sacred, so the idea of him eating contaminated spinach and running amok sounds like old-fashioned fun to me. I could indulge in a double feature when both Popeye the Slayer Man movies become available to stream or rent online. I’m not sure who will join me, but if I bring enough drinks, I’m sure someone will.

2 winners, 2 losers from WNBA opening weekend (so far) <div id="zephr-anchor"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">We’re less than 24 hours into the WNBA season, and only 6 of the league’s 15 teams have made their season debuts. Still, let’s take a look at some way-too-early winners and losers from the first couple of games of the 2025-2026 WNBA season.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Winner: Sonia Citron, Washington Mystics</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Sonia Citron had a spectacular rookie season, and she started her sophomore year right where she left off. Citron was dominant in the Mystics’ 68-65 win over the Toronto Tempo on Friday night, posting a game-high 26 points on 9-12 FG and 3-6 from three. She also racked up 2 steals and 2 blocks, continuing to show signs of being one of the WNBA’s elite two-way guards.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Washington Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson praised Citron’s performance.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">“Her normal is a lot of other people’s great,” he said. <a href="https://x.com/AnnieCostabile/status/2052938588157837437"/></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Winner: Kaitlyn Chen, Golden State Valkyries</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Kaitlyn Chen was a third-round draft pick in 2025 and was cut by the Valkyries in the middle of her rookie season. But she had a tremendous offseason, made Golden State’s opening night roster, and looked tremendous in the season debut, tallying 14 points on 5-10 shooting, 2 assists, and 0 turnovers off the bench in a 91-80 win over the Seattle Storm.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">After the game, Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase credited Chen for her offseason work.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">“She’s been working,” Nakase said. “That’s credit to her in the offseason, right? Just putting in extra time. She came, you know, to the bay for a couple of weeks too, to work on her game after she went overseas.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">“Just her ability to score on all three levels, that’s basically what she did. And I mean, you saw her playing AU. She just took over the games. It was really nice to kind of see that carry over.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Loser: The 2026 rookie class</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">It’s extremely early, but the 2026 WNBA draftees look like they’re going to need a little bit more time. So far, only one rookie has scored double-digit points: Seattle Storm guard Flau’jae Johnson, who tallied 12 points on 25% shooting in Friday night’s loss to the Golden State Valkyries.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd came off the bench for the Dallas Wings and scored 3 points on 1-2 shooting in 18 minutes. No. 2 pick Awa Fam is still overseas, and No. 4 pick Lauren Betts went scoreless in her Mystics debut.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">It’s early, and the rookies made their impact in other ways, but the first 24 hours of the WNBA season did not do anything to dispel the notion that the 2026 draft class is mostly filled with future role players.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup"><strong>Loser: The Connecticut Sun</strong></h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The Sun were absolutely crushed by the New York Liberty on opening night. They led 36-13 after the first quarter, and never let go of the rope, ultimately winning 106-75. The Liberty are one of the WNBA’s most loaded teams, and the Sun are in the midst of a rebuild, but it was not the start to the season that Connecticut was hoping for.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Only three players scored in double-figures: Diamond Miller (16 points), Aneesah Morrow (15 points), and Brittney Griner (13 points). As a collective, Connecticut shot 39% from the field, 18% from three, and 47% from the three-point line.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Facing the Liberty on opening night is a tough way to start, and the Sun were without Leila Lacan, who was one of their best players last season. Still, it was not an optimal start to their last-ever season in Connecticut.</p></div></div> #winners #losers #WNBA #opening #weekend
