This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel tackles Critters 3, the third entry in the cult creature-feature franchise — and yes, this is the one with a very young Leonardo DiCaprio.

Trading the small-town setting for a rundown apartment building, Critters 3 goes full low-budget sequel mode with greedy landlords, weird tenants, and furry alien monsters causing total chaos.

We dig into everything, including:

🐛 Young Leonardo DiCaprio showing early star power in one of his first film roles

🏢 Moving the franchise to an apartment building and how we wish we had more characters for the Critters to eat

😂 The mix of horror, comedy, and pure sequel weirdness that only Critters can deliver

💥 Homemade traps, hallway chases, and low-budget creature carnage

🎭 A cast of bizarre tenants who feel pulled from a sitcom fever dream (two from Seinfeld)

😆 Geoffrey Blake crushing it as "Frank the sleezy super"

🎬 Where Critters 3 fits in the franchise and whether it’s secretly more fun than expected

🔥 Why creature sequels from this era remain endlessly entertaining

This is exactly the kind of sequel we love covering — strange, scrappy, ridiculous, and somehow impossible to stop watching.
