War Machine Vs. War Horse

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. But an attempt is made. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

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. Because when dealing with cancer and corporate greed you need a genuine movie star insulting people's shoes. Enjoy! Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

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 First Part in Steven Soderbergh's Whistleblowers Trilogy A divisive audio commentary track for THE LIMEY provides some amusement for one host and despair for another as two children of the 90s try and define what the 60s icons Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda mean to them.

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.

The Second Part in our Coup d'état Cinema Trilogy What was once the third greatest film of all time is merely the third greatest film in its own trilogy as revisit with some morbid curiosity the youthful indiscretions of ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO.

The First Part in our Coup d'etat Cinema Trilogy We put our love of procedurals to the test with the walkabout pace of an assassin in France in THE DAY OF THE JACKAL. While not the biggest fans of historical fiction we soon discover that even with that somewhat dry genre there is an even drier option when the English get involved.

The Third Part in our Identity Crisis Cinema Trilogy We discuss our agreed upon favorite film of 2023 in Celine Song's PAST LIVES with very little in the way of judgement. Possibly because that is befitting of the tone of the film but also because we can't help but gush about this modern classic that sits beside the likes of ALL THE HEAVEN ALLOWS and Edward Norton's KEEPING THE FAITH! Okay maybe the latter is just a guilty pleasure for the author of these show notes. No guilt in reveling in Greta Lee and Teo Yoo's performances though! Enjoy!

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! Instead of deciding to partake in BEING JOHN MALKOVICH we play a little hot or not with the... fairly unattractive debut feature film from Spike Jonze in what would be the beginning of a series of lighthearted fare from the writer Charlie Kaufman. Cameron Diaz and pets! Catherine Keener as the bubbly coworker! John Cusack as a puppeteer! All disgusting! Enjoy.

As usual one host works in a comic book origin story for AMERICAN BEAUTY as part of a clever ruse to avoid talking about Kevin Spacey in one of his Oscar-winning performances. The other host talks about aging out of being Mena Suvari's peer to Annette Bening. There is some hope of personal growth in this episode!
