70s grindhouse meets Criterion arthouse in 1972's Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades. Basically it's The Mandalorian and Grogu with an excessive amount of sexual violence in the first act.

Nothing we like better than lovelorn fish men here at Podcast Part 3, so much so that we made it through nearly three hours of complicated maritime backstabbing with 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End!

THERE CAN BE ONLY THREE! (Or more...)

Also known as Highlander: The Final Dimension. Neither title makes sense.

On the latest Podcast Part 3, we pay a belated tribute to the great Catherine O'Hara by taking a look at 2003's A Mighty Wind, the third in Christopher Guest's mockumentary trilogy. Spoiler alert: It's very good. Another spoiler alert: She's great in it.

Turn up the Nine Inch Nails and/or Depeche Mode, because it's time for a third crack at making Tron a thing (the franchise, not the character... never the character). It's 2025's Tron: Ares, a movie that'll make you sad that Daft Punk broke up all over again.

Podcast Part 3 is staggering into the new year with yet another big beefy fantasy thing to talk about... this time it's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, a 2.5 hour adaptation of about 15 pages of Tolkein's original book.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled bitch sesh about The Hobbit to bring you the newest, hottest threequel in town. That's right, the boys are talking Avatar: Fire and Ash and all the visually spectacular horny cat-alien weirdness you can handle!

We come back to you now, at the turn of the tide... because it's time to talk about the conclusion to the Best. Trilogy. Ever.

Happy Halloween! It's time to wrap up Shriek-quel Threequel season with the oh-so-very 2006 Final Destination 3. It's a literal and figurative roller coaster ride as the boys watch Mary Elizabeth Winstead and a bunch of kids in mid-2000s Bieber hair try to outrun death while clutching their digital cameras, iPods, CD players and flip phones. Will they live long enough to reach 2007 and the arrival of the iPhone? Strap in and find out!

It's time to talk about a f-cking movie star, 'cause Will and Sam are taking it back to 2024-slash-1985 with Ti West's MaXXXine, the conclusion to the blood-soaked Mia Goth-led X trilogy. Does this love letter to Hollywood stick the landing in the way most trilogy-enders don't? Does Sam have some hot takes about the White Album out of nowhere? The answers are mostly and of course.
