Trilogy in Theory episodes

  • Nobody's Fool (1994)
    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.
    • Happy first Thanksgiving podcast meal and come back for seconds and thirds!

    • A Second Stay in Horrible Hotels
      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!

      • Doctor Sleep (2019)
        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!

      • The Devil's Rejects (2005)
        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.

      • Psycho 2 (1983)
        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!

      • Debunking Is No Fun (Tombstone, 1408 and The Girl on the Train)
        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!

        • Rashomon Again and Again
          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.

        • Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
          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.

        • Snake Eyes (1998)
          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!

        • Rashomon (1950)
          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!

        About Trilogy in Theory

        From the publisher's feed

        Two men and a movie make for a good trilogy. Now give those two men three movies and you have a Trilogy in Theory.
