Trilogy in Theory

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.

...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.

The difference is that this time it's the lesser host Web's favorite QT flick. One could blame the better host (and author of these show notes) Mike for not seeing this coming... but the author of these show notes is far more comfortable blaming his partner on this podcast. In keeping with the theme of this month's trilogy there's plenty of blame to go around! Such as:

And if you still haven't had enough arguments... wait for the finale of this TRILOGY IN THEORY!

Meanwhile the other host is hoping for a "sluttier" version of the classic 12 ANGRY MEN... and THANKFULLY there exists a cable tv version starring Jack Lemmon and James Gandolfini.

Sexy.

But that is for another episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY as this month's theme is kicked off by the Sidney Lumet "original" but not the crappy television version that both hosts couldn't be bothered to check out on their Criterion Collection discs.

We are busy men! Making podcasts. For you!

It's the ultimate team-up as your two hosts take on the likes of great artist such as Darwyn Cooke, Quentin Tarantino and then we throw in Guy Ritchie because even we make mistakes! But this matters not as we can rewrite our own reality with a historical fiction trilogy where Martian Manhunter, the man who played Superman and Brad Pitt is just around the corner to save the day in (take notes here, because we have three prior episodes that could use the downloads)

All of those (and so many more!) can be found at the links below:

Slightly better hair on Leo and Brad, though. We should hate them. But we don't. Although it took one host a few rides out to the squatters known as the Manson family before it clicked.

This Brad Pitt guy really IS incredibly handsome. And cool.

We should just hang out with these guys in ONCE UPON A TIME... IN HOLLYWOOD every week. That's the medicine the brighter host takes. It hasn't helped with hair loss but pretty much everything else. Enjoy!

... and also Guy Ritchie's film adaptation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. which is just silly.

Silly in that the sell by date for this particular IP is well past relevancy?

Silly in that we find it more absurd than our previous selected film which features a shapeshifting martian saving the world?

Silly in... OKAY, we can admit that Henry Cavill really does wear a suit well. Worth a watch and a listen!

...and then keeps apologizing for it. Is it because he does not enjoy our selection of JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER?

No.

But he does admit that his reasoning is he bought a new toy to sit on his shelf and so here we are as we kick off a team-up trilogy with Darywn Cooke's all-hands-on-deck look at the DC Universe and the best comic book adaptation.

That also happens to be a cartoon. That went straight to video. We'll never do this again.

Maybe. Enjoy!

The three films selected not only are a celebration of three prior months/trilogies on this podcast... I'll wait as you go back and download every single episode. Ahem... THEY ARE ALSO doing a cover of sort of The Master of Suspense as we get callbacks to PSYCHO in Brian De Palma's DRESSED TO KILL.

Some REAR WINDOW in Robert Zemeckis' WHAT LIES BENEATH... which is perhaps the greatest film ever featured on this podcast. REAR WINDOW would be #2.

And last but not least that hack Martin Scorsese gets in on the action with SHUTTER ISLAND. Would this be VERTIGO or THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY? At that point in the podcast we were having too much fun and may have lost the thread. Enjoy!

And also Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO. And Woody Allen's BLUE JASMINE... or Cate Blanchett's BLUE JASMINE if you'd rather. But in a third act twist (and one host hates that it comes to this) you have our resident Criterion Collection hater who waits for our wrap-up show to finally warm to Paul Thomas Anderson's PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE.

This marks a year of the journey that is TRILOGY IN THEORY. Thank you for coming along for the ride and ending up not quite like Janet Leigh but you still met a couple of perverts with a weird and abrasive hobby called podcasting. Many thanks. Here's to another year.
