Trilogy in Theory

The Third Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy Finally. We see ourselves in a character onscreen and shockingly it's not the Ben Affleck character in MALLRATS (for obvious legal, ethical and terrible music taste reason in this film.) Jason Lee leads Kevin Smith's initially much maligned and later celebrated sophomore (and delightfully sophomoric) flick as we close out our trilogy on the trouble with third spaces in this case with a man who is obsessed with superhero sex organs. As we said at the top, it's nice to see ourselves on screen for once. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Second Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy This episode is gross and it's not just us (blame Vincent D'Onofrio) as we talk Tarsem Singh's THE CELL where Jennifer Lopez attempts to help troubled youth (strike one) and Vince Vaughn gets serious (strike two) and did we mention Mr. D'Onofrio's piercings in this flick?? But it looks cool. The movie. Not the piercings. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The First Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy Your old movie podcast hosts (and hosting an AUDIO ONLY podcast at that!) put on their readers to try and make sense of the recent Youtube to horror directing trend as they give you a timely episode on BACKROOMS... just as it is being re-released with another Youtube short added onto it for an extra run at theatrical dollars! Old-fashioned hucksterism at the movies that we love and hope you do too. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

For our patrons... this is no Catch Me If You Can. Your hosts for this movie podcast that you have somehow discovered without the help of Emily Blunt as a Kansas City weather lady gives some polite advice to Mr. Spielberg on how to spend your DISCLOSURE DAY. One way is to leave the theater and watch the World Cup in the lobby and the other is to stew and try remember all the good times we had with Tom Hanks pursuing Leo DiCaprio as the screen's best Barry Allen.

The First Part in our Time For Obsession Trilogy For the first time we make time for a guest on the podcast with our upcoming trilogy inspired by the new release OBSESSION. Maddie of the show Old Reader New Reader on Near Mint Condition joins us for the next three episodes... and presumably will decide that is more than enough so enjoy her voice in the future over on her great show focusing on graphic novels and funny books as discussed by someone new to the material and someone revisiting the chosen comics. But first we need some insight from someone who perhaps has had those suffering from obsession with them; a feeling that two lowly podcasters crave and thus are not the best judge of the downsides.

The First Part in our Dear, We Must Depart Trilogy For our big episode 250 we pick on Grace Kelly's dumb face... okay, that sounds mean but she is mostly confused through the proceeding of Alfred Hitchcock's DIAL M FOR MURDER while we remain riveted as the characters go over and over and OVER the perfect murder. That is if there can be such a thing as a perfect murder when Princess Grace is the intended victim. But that's why it's the movies and this is not CinemaSins, it's TiT!

The Third Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy If this is the podcast where THE GODFATHER gets lumped in with SCREAM 7 for a thematic trilogy then we can assume that IMDb's greatest film of all time won't feel too bad about taking the place of MALLRATS as the followup to CLERKS in our absolutely correct trilogy in theory.

The Second Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy We were well into our hearts of darkness research for APOCALYPSE NOW, which was to be the second part of this month's trilogy, when one host decided to subject his poor wife to the View Askewniverse with Kevin Smith's CLERKS and the other host had to be a third wheel. That's as close as we come to any uncomfortable sexual situation because like the film we are discussing... we are all talk. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy Also for the first time... this podcast gets younger as the two sad, old men (the author of these show notes does not know whether to emphasize SAD or OLD here) are replaced by the voice of a new generation to do what most movie podcasts with any sense of decorum do: a summary of the actual plot of the film that has been chosen for discussion.

The First Part in our Nostalgia for a Life Not Lived Trilogy Welcome to our autopsy for the SCREAM franchise where we discover that the last two entries are considered THE LAST JEDI for some dudes on Reddit.

The Third Part in our (Un)Professional Power Plays Trilogy We question the validity of the classic status that is Milos Forman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST very briefly in the episode because by the end of it we give our an analysis on the defining narrative program from the cable channel BATES MOTEL without having watched said program.

The Second Part in our Faith in the Wicked Trilogy Last month we insulted the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese and David FIncher for making TV movies... and in our second episode of 2026 we feature a really expensive TV movie from Rian Johnson in his third KNIVES OUT entry WAKE UP DEAD MAN! One host was spiritually moved upon first watch and continued to find more to love about this latest Daniel Craig mystery... and the other came around once the majesty of seeing it at home on streaming just as our gods at Netflix intended.

The First Part in our Faith in the Wicked Trilogy 28 Days Later has aged like a fine wine but perhaps 28 Years Later hasn't aged enough as audiences unfortunately seemed to tune out the latest entry in this franchise 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. We discuss the franchise as a whole (mostly skipping 28 WEEKS LATER unless one host gets a chance to bring up THE BEACH) and how much love we have for Ralph Fiennes, well-endowed zombies and a dance sequence with Satanists.

The Second Part in our Faking it on the Job Trilogy Did our laziness make this episode more topical? Yes. Does that make us heroes in the media like Mr. Kimmel? Some would say much more so! For we are unpaid. But we are equally as passionate about speaking truth into these tin cans for absolutely NO ONE to see us sweat like Albert Brooks in BROADCAST NEWS. But that goes back to our inherent laziness. For we haven't gotten around to throwing up videos of us talking movies on Youtube yet. Possibly because we don't look like William Hurt.

The First Part in our Faking it on the Job Trilogy We timed our SUPERMAN release to its inevitable viewing from the masses on streaming (HBO Max for now and maybe I shouldn't name check them because they'll inevitably do something horrible to a comedy host) NOT because we are late in uploading this recording... but because we are thinking of the common man and would never dare to ruin this joyful film with spoilers. Or something like that. Regardless here is rare instant joy from us as we discuss our thoughts straight out of the early Amazon Prime screening (notice a trend in us supporting horrible companies if we can watch our man in underpants punch things onscreen) and then try to cobble together a trilogy after the fact.

The Third Part in our Failures in Teamwork Trilogy As we approach the tenth anniversary of the second time Matt Damon was left stranded on a planet (one host approves) we debate man's will to live in isolation for years if it means that Jessica Chastain will eventually save him. Not much of a debate! So instead we discuss (though not at such great a length as anything remotely involving The Chastain) the prospects of big budget Hollywood filmmaking such as this in 2025... because ten years ago I could get brief appearances by Kristen Wiig and Donald Glover and I'd expect nothing less from SIR Ridley Scott.

The Second Part in our Failure in Teamwork Trilogy So this is the big one. The episode where our hosts decide if its time to get off this Marvel Cinematic Universe gravy train (thought the numbers would say otherwise) and call it good with the end of Phase One (ugh) with THE AVENGERS. So many paths we could take. Like doing the failed adaptation of that British show with Uma Thurman in the 90s. That couldn't have been that bad. But here we are.

The First Part in our Failure in Teamwork Trilogy Some might say that the failure in teamwork starts with one host being bullied by the other into doing an episode on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS. All because the bullied host said he finally got around to the first entry into this ESTEEMED franchise and expressed enthusiasm for the original film. And here we are with a discussion on the merits of a deleted scene where Freddy Krueger has boobs. Teamwork.

The Second Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy How could there ever be a cult classic for a wide release starring Uma Thurman? Wouldn't everyone pause to gaze at her beauty and charisma? Of course as I type up these very show notes I'm reminded of finally catching up with EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES and being horrified at what my favorite screen goddess did which nearly RUINED the career of one Gus Van Sant before he could make his 1998 classic PSYCHO. But as the chosen film (I'm getting to it) GATTACA shows us... nobody's perfect. Even Ethan Hawke. Especially Ethan Hawke when he shares the screen with Jude Law. Enjoy!

HOWEVER David Fincher's THE GAME is not a film that your two hosts can agree upon. Such gentlemanly episodes are saved for verified classics like TOWER HEIST (coming this Thanksgiving if that threat doesn't have you unsubscribing before then) but this conversation is all about what Sean Penn got wrong with his brotherly birthday gift to Mr. Douglas.

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #3 This is an episode that requires a paywall to talk about in full (our Patreon is a lowly ONE BUCK A MONTH, by the way) because when one talks BLADE 2 that means a mention of Harry Knowles unfortunate review of the film which talked primarily about oral sex. Yeah. We do our best to mention the initial infamy of the film and have fun with what Wesley Snipes and Guillermo del Toro ACTUALLY created... without all of that particular subtext. Enjoy!

The Third Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Mickey Rourke does his best to whip the sequel to IRON MAN into shape... which is terrible, but we did enjoy the extended (in our mind) whipping sequence if only The Auteur Jon Favreau had the COURAGE to pull a Peter Jackson and give us MORE. More Garry Shandling calling Iron Man a dick! More Sam Rockwell dancing! More Scarlett Johansson... more TRILOGY IN THEORY!

The Second Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Have we find a film to rival GOOD WILL HUNTING in one that men are comfortable weeping with... NO! Because men cry alone and never admit to such things on a podcast. What they will admit to is the lasting legacy... of themselves. One host wonders if his child will one day be interested in these very audio recordings where he drops expletives in an episode on the very earnest BIG FISH while the other wonders how much longer this planet he resides on will be around. Tune in for the heartwarming content of TRILOGY IN THEORY! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The First Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy One host had a childhood and the other one didn't watch an Indiana Jones movie until he was old and depressed. But he's come around to this Steven Spielberg guy being "pretty good" at movies. Consider this our Temple of Doom of podcasting and try to enjoy.
