War Machine Vs. War Horse

The Third Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Mickey Rourke does his best to whip the sequel to IRON MAN into shape... which is terrible, but we did enjoy the extended (in our mind) whipping sequence if only The Auteur Jon Favreau had the COURAGE to pull a Peter Jackson and give us MORE. More Garry Shandling calling Iron Man a dick! More Sam Rockwell dancing! More Scarlett Johansson... more TRILOGY IN THEORY!

The Second Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Have we find a film to rival GOOD WILL HUNTING in one that men are comfortable weeping with... NO! Because men cry alone and never admit to such things on a podcast. What they will admit to is the lasting legacy... of themselves. One host wonders if his child will one day be interested in these very audio recordings where he drops expletives in an episode on the very earnest BIG FISH while the other wonders how much longer this planet he resides on will be around.

The First Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy One host had a childhood and the other one didn't watch an Indiana Jones movie until he was old and depressed. But he's come around to this Steven Spielberg guy being "pretty good" at movies. Consider this our Temple of Doom of podcasting and try to enjoy.

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #2 We mostly credit (or blame) the success of the superhero genre at the cinema on that damn charm of one Hugh Jackman... definitely not the director behind APT PUPIL. Along the way we debate the silliness of forcing actors into all black leather or daring to use a little color. Which is to say that like the rest of the cast we just stand around and watch a handsome Australian man at work. And that doesn't require any sort of director at all. Thankfully this movie doesn't have one! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Third Part in our Second Attempt at Making a Monster Trilogy Elisabeth Moss troubles one host and that greatly troubles the other as we wrap up our month of monster movie remakes with one of the last theatrical releases before the pandemic in THE INVISIBLE MAN. Considering all that has transpired since then you can forgive us for this one slipping through our pop culture fingers but it's certainly better than new release where Harrison Ford is turned into a Hulk which we touch on very briefly.

The Second Part in our Second Attempt at Making a Monster Trilogy It's not the film with the much beloved Mark Ruffalo nor is it the questionable Hulk Dogs fighting Eric Bane. Instead what you get from us is the star of THE SCORE, Edward Norton in all his mainstream movie glory! So this is the episode on THE INCREDIBLE HULK which once upon an engaged couple skipped to preserve their marriage but now we risk it all for the sake of the podcast. Now let's all quit our grumbling and enjoy Liv Tyler trying to make out with a tiny man in the rain and an even tinier man, Tim Roth, just wanting to grow up to be a regular sized boy perhaps with green skin.

The First Part in our Second Attempt at Making a Monster Trilogy Our Valentine's Day special is here just a bit early which should give you just enough time to forget all about David Cronenberg's body horror and think of your own that you will give to that special someone! Hopefully someone like this podcast's favorite leading lady, Geena Davis! Or Jeff Goldblum who in this film is the finest male specimen until that dreaded day when he discovers that he has grown back hair. Then it's all over but the grave.

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #1 One host argues for Howard the Duck over Blade as the father of all that would be Marvel at the movies while the other compares this ABSOLUTE CLASSIC film to the reaction to the Obama administration... before there even was an Obama administration! However both of your favorite hosts (maybe not so much after this episode) bond over the fear that their respective fathers would pull the plug on that life-changing first time watch of Wesley Snipes as the greatest Marvel hero of them all... BLADE. Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Third Part in our Gadgets for Survival Trilogy Can one host survive watching a cartoon for this week's episode? Mostly because there are numerous other horrible things going on so it feels a little silly to complain about the lack of erotic thriller elements in a film as charming as THE WILD ROBOT.

The Second Part in our Gadgets for Survival Trilogy While the MCU may be down now (DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE was a celebration of the Fox Marvel universe!) we decide that appearing on TRILOGY IN THEORY for... years (?) may just be the ticket to get them back on top. But what does the Marvel Cinematic Universe look like in a shared universe with all that cinema has to offer? We shall see and hopefully you will listen as we kick off this series of discussions with IRON MAN! What could go wrong with a film from the auteur behind MADE and CHEF?? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The First Part in our Gadgets for Survival Trilogy It's 2025 and we think this year is going to suck! So why not watch characters in movies get to play with all of their new toys as we lament our lot in life... this is starting to sound like every month on TRILOGY IN THEORY but this month we start with Bond! James Bond. Listen to two experts reminiscing about their glory days on the Nintendo 64 calling Oddjob players in GOLDENEYE cheaters and then eventually respecting the actual man who played the character, Harold Sakata and his ability to knock out Sean Connery and get Mr. Bond a raise.

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! In our final chapter on the year in cinema for 1999 we watch the epic in length (and in frogs and misogyny as is the standard combination) MAGNOLIA from Paul Thomas Anderson and his mostly returning cast from BOOGIE NIGHTS. What this film lacks in pornography it makes up for in Tom Cruise. A more than fair trade. Happy 2025 everyone and on to the next Movie Book Club!

A Christmas double feature in search of a DIE HARD or LOVE ACTUALLY! What is this madness? A Christmas special on a podcast called TRILOGY IN THEORY... missing the third part of the trilogy? That's where we look at the Netflix original LOVE HARD which presents two dating app aficionados finding each other across the country with that annual holiday debate: is DIE HARD a Christmas movie? So we pair that Netflix "content" with a proper film... that proper film being John Frankenheimer's REINDEER GAMES. This may not be the best example of the superior nature of movies designed for theatrical release but it does allow us to pontificate on the conundrum that is Xmas at the Movies and hopefully find a third film to make a TRILOGY IN THEORY!

The Third Part in Steven Soderbergh's Whistleblowers Trilogy We finish up this month's trilogy and our TWO HUNDREDTH EPISODE with Matt Damon at peak schlub as THE INFORMANT! The exclamation point is included in the title of the film; not a measure of our excitement. For one host despises Matt Damon and the other one is still trying to understand the motivations of a man making six figures and married to Melanie Lynskey to blow it all up! Now that exclamation point was intended as we will spend the next two hundred episodes of TRILOGY IN THEORY trying to understand such a man. Enjoy!

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! If a filmmaker ever wants to make people uncomfortable just complete your passion project which is seen as dangerous and very progressive... and then wait a quarter century (or less) and one can upset an entirely new demographic of people who see your movie as dangerous and backwards! It's these murky waters that two straight men enter and attempt to discuss BOYS DON'T CRY as a flick that for obvious reasons is just a bad time. Thankfully this discussion is behind a paywall and more importantly... no one listens to us anyway! Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Second Part in Steven Soderbergh's Whistleblowers Trilogy A little Oscar talk. A little Marvel Cinematic Universe talk. All in service of the decidedly populist fare that Steven Soderbergh served up with Julia Robert's Academy Award winning performance in ERIN BROCKOVICH.

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! While we can all agree that HEAT is Michael Mann's masterpiece and to a somewhat lesser degree that MANHUNTER is the Hannibal Lector cinematic masterpiece... what about THE INSIDER? How does this one rank in the Mann canon if it perhaps the greatest film of the BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER? It's pretty good. We hope you enjoy it.

The Third Part in our Coup d'etat Cinema Trilogy The failure of Warner Bros. Project Popcorn to overthrow cinema is discussed in regards to James Gunn's streaming loss leader THE SUICIDE SQUAD... and it's delightful! Yes, it's noble failure lead to even more television with spinoffs but you don't see Matt Reeves THE BATMAN catching flak for that so instead we revel in the charms of a true comic book movie where our heroes ponder if they are being sent off to fight something that is slang for butthole.
