    33.3 Light Sleeper | Paul Scharder's Night Worker Trilogy

    The night is always darkest before the dawn folks! And it was a dark day in the Tripod booth because it was the end of another TRILOGY! On this episode of Tripod, the boys discuss one of Paul Schrader's less heralded films: Light Sleeper, starring Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon. A film that explores paranoia, ennui and aimlessness in the concrete jungle of NYC. Is this film all one big metaphor for a mid-life crisis? And how does this film fit amongst Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, the previous instalments of the Night Worker Trilogy?

    32.2 The Man Who Knew Too Much | Hitchcock's Relationship Trilogy

    More like The FILM that BLEW too HARD! Am I right or am I right people? Look every now and again we see a master directors work and sometimes it just kinda STINKS okay. So what if we didn't like this thing, SUE us go on see if we care. It's long, the plot is wafer thin. At one point Dr. Meckenna drugs his wife so he can give her bad news.Yeesh, anyway we talk about this and a bunch of other stuff...

    32.1 Rear Window | Hitchcock's Relationship Trilogy

    Well hold on just a minute here. You're telling me that Alfred Hitchcock made an unofficial trilogy? You're darn right, bucko!

In the upcoming three films, the dynamic duo explore what Hitch defined as the three phases of relationships; romance, marriage and loss. In this episode, Matt and Tyrie discuss all things Rear Window - how it got made, Hitchcock's idea of 'pure cinema', and if the film's slow pace holds up compared to the modern thrillers of today!

    Hey man! Like, welcome back, man. Today Tyrie and Matt are breaking into the grid, with their discussion of Tron: Ares. The boys ponder why Disney keeps going back to this neon world of one's and zero's (especially when none of the three films have ever made the company any actual one's or zero's) as well as the state of Jared Leto's career, and more importantly, the seemingly lost art of blockbuster movie-making and what Tron: Ares has to say about A.I., grief, connection, and what it truly means...to be cool.

Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about.
