War Machine Vs. War Horse

In which one host caters to the other who really, really loves his funny books. But also... we are pandering for listeners with the only new release around. Thankfully (?) director Matt Reeves is making the media rounds pulling from superior works such as SEVEN and ZODIAC. Alas, there is no David Fincher behind the camera but there is Colin Farrell in a lot of makeup hiding his pretty face. I don't know if that's good or bad but enjoy the latest episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY!

A valentine episode with enough distance from that wretched holiday. Get drunk instead this week for St. Patrick's Day! Traveling to a second love comes very naturally to this podcast especially when a Kevin Smith joint is included. A future month feature a trilogy on the amount of times this great auteur has been mentioned on this podcast... but today is all about Ben Affleck picking up garbage in JERSEY GIRL! Also the amusing nudity of Jason Segal in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL! And unfortunately (especially after those two previous sentences) we honor the loss of William Hurt as featured here in THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. Overall another depressing episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY perked up by male nudity and the appearance of Mr. Affleck. For a brief combination of the two we will program GONE GIRL at a later date.

In which we applaud the use of crying and male nudity in film. While also still finding it very funny. Also some disagreement to be had in the applause a man deserves for calling off oral sex when having a crisis of conscious. These show notes for FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL are going to do gangbuster numbers with the SEO material provided by Jason Segal, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill... let's see who else will provide some hits. Paul Rudd and oral sex! But not really. Bill Hader and comments about oral sex! Kind of! Enjoy!

In which Liv Tyler somehow makes us miss video stores even more. One host could be forgiven for stopping with Ms. Tyler but apparently there are at least two other Jersey girls in Kevin Smith's much maligned JERSEY GIRL. We are glad that the world is a little more welcoming of a Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez romance in 2022 but remain split on the idea of fatherhood and musicals being good for The One True DAREDEVIL.

In which it all comes down (or up) to height. We can assume the above was the tipping point for Oscar voters when appraising the Academy Award performance of Geena Davis in Lawrence Kasdan's THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. However Kathleen Turner is fine. Very fine. Okay, we will eventually turn our attention to William Hurt. But not before an odd moment of stanning for Meg Tilly. Who is not in this movie. But remains in one co-host's heart. (Shameless self-promotion in our own show notes: check out our prior episode on PSYCHO 2 for more Tilly fandom. Yes, it's odd.) Enjoy!

Ae winter holidays for an episode wondering why we can not be happy. What began with a Thanksgiving feast Paul Newman's old beautiful blue eyes filled with youthful glee at his pranks in NOBODY's FOOL turned to Sam Raimi decidedly not having fun in the new year with his crime gone wrong in A SIMPLE PLAN. And then we get to one of the biggest comedy actors of all time choosing to get his heart broken repeatedly on Valentine's Day in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. Thanks, Jim Carrey. Thanks, world. Enjoy.

In which we look forward to Valentine's Day by looking back at memories we no longer have. As part of the wretched film Internet community at large we ALSO tend to forget how we felt about films in our youth versus what we favor now. Thank god we have a podcast so we can work through those issues as well as assigning blame to this Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet starring classic... for POSSIBLY starting the manic pixie dream girl craze of the mid-2000s. Don't @ us bro, this film is still better than GARDEN STATE and ELIZABETHTOWN.

In which we make a New Year's Resolution to eat the rich. Billy Bob Thornton not included... as he is already playing a pretty sad dude in this Sam Raimi thriller. Bridget Fonda on the other hand as Lady Macbeth here... Okay, enough shenanigans, In 2022 we tackle the American Dream.

In which one host rediscovers Melanie Griffith. And a few other things to be thankful for ahead of Thanksgiving. Such as: The fact that this film is not the Tiffany Haddish comedy from a few years ago. Although we haven't seen that flick so maybe we are wrong. Wrong like the perennial loser character played by Paul Newman in THIS Nobody's Fool. Although he is Paul Newman. And we are not. But we remain thankful for Melanie Griffith. Very thankful.

We test our commitment to sequels as we choose to visit three horror franchise hotels again... ... and it's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS getting the poor Airbnb review. This is just one of many hot takes as we sing the praises of PSYCHO 2 and DOCTOR SLEEP. For that your favorite TRILOGY IN THEORY hosts assign blame on everyone but themselves: A podcast history with not completing THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE stopped our HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES research team from completing their task. A lack of travel over the last couple of years maybe, just maybe, has made the likes of Norman Bates or Rebecca Ferguson in a top hat much more appealing visits. Sherri Moon Zombie is still starring in THE DEVIL'S REJECTS. We do not go out to the ice machine while she's... acting. All of that and some life lessons from George Costanza!

In which a director's cut almost causes a divorce... ...but thankfully Mike Flanagan's DOCTOR SLEEP is so good that both your hosts remain married. The tragedy of our respective wives lives is our listeners gain as we do a poor job of maintaining our glee for Stephen King's course correction of THE SHINING cinematic universe. However... we still love Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film. And we love Ewan McGregor as the grown up Danny in a sequel to said classic. We even love Rebecca Ferguson in that ridiculous hat! This is an episode full of swooning so one host must hate on Jacob Tremblay for a brief moment. Enjoy!

In which we support divorce for the Zombies. That's a bit unfair to Sheri Moon Zombie as she represents only one third of THE DEVIL'S REJECTS. She is also not a clown. And on this episode we encourage people to slap clowns. But do we really want to slap clowns? Tim Curry was fine. This is not fine. Stop playing Free Bird, Rob Zombie. It's beneath even clowns.

In which we have fun with gaslighting. As long as that gaslighting is being done to a serial killer! It's fun we promise. Along the way we talk about what many may perceive to be a great insult to classic cinema in the first sequel to PSYCHO but we look upon with great reverence for inspiring the likes of SCREAM 3 or more importantly... JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. The day that cinema was complete. Enjoy!

We let a trilogy of films ask the questions... ...and then question why the characters in said films asked them. However we do manage to challenge each other on a few points: Why has it taken one host THIS LONG to watch TOMBSTONE and does he feel like less of a man because of this absence in his life? Is John Cusack more annoying than ghosts? And can Emily Blunt ever be unattractive even or especially when she's mid-drunken rant? All of this AND MORE is answered on the latest episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY!

Doddering old podcast hosts try to remember the three films they watched last month. And the only reminder we get from our friends on the Internet is that we discussed Rian Johnson's STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. Those comments were pleasant, as usual. But fear not! For the them of this month that we stole from Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON is that we can choose to remember fan feedback differently! We can remember Carla Gugino as a fine actress and a healthy figure in Brian De Palma's SNAKE EYES! And... actually we are going to hold on that memory for a moment. Enjoy the rest of the episode and leave us old men behind. Just like Yoda taught.

In which we discuss the movie that caused us to lose faith in our fellow man. Among other things. Anyway this is an episode about STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI which proved that once and for all that a small minority of obnoxiously loud Star Wars fans are neither fans of Star Wars nor movies. On the first part we can now agree with them as we are tired of the discourse surrounding this Rian Johnson entry in yet another Disney franchise. However we have a podcast to produce. So THIS... is the final word on the Skywalker saga. Now leave us alone. But keep downloading.

In which we discuss an ample bosom. And missiles. Also Brian De Palma's SNAKE EYES. We like to think that the director would be proud of this. For Nicolas Cage with runaway chest hair, hideous fashion sense and overall just being loud in every capacity calls for an episode... ...on the ample bosom of cinema. Enjoy!

In which we discover that Akira Kurosawa did not in fact make a film similar to BARBERSHOP. As it's long been said by one host on this show "a Kurosawa film is the bran muffin of cinema." Yes, dear listeners... it is probably time that we retreat back to yet another Tarantino film on this feed. However while we're here we might as well try and discuss the classic bowel movement aid of a film that is RASHOMON. At least three times! This is a movie podcast on trilogies after all. Three is very important to us. As are bowel movements. We are old. And we are spending our dwindling days on this... whatever this is. Enjoy!

As usual... this episode starts with our segment called Ask Women As Answered By Two Men. And it goes horribly wrong for one co-host. While the other one giggles we get back to the online arguments that we are comfortable with: movie trilogies of our own making. This month it was a combination of Sidney Lumet's 12 ANGRY MEN, Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT and J.J. Abrams' (or one of his fellow silver spooned creatively deceased buddies) 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE and how they all add up to A NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS IN ONE ROOM! That's the title of this episode. We talk about that. And also womenfolk. But only briefly. Please listen.

If two movie podcast hosts find themselves in a bunker during the end of the world... they still grumble about J.J. Abrams. ...HOWEVER, we aren't total elitist snobs. An insult to Terrence Malick is included in the first two minutes of this episode. That means it only takes two minutes to conclude that your hosts can never be pleased. Except if you've hit play! And subscribe! Rate! Review! Five stars! Or we will be forced to release an episode on THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX. You have been warned.
