War Machine Vs. War Horse

The Third Part in our On the Road with Ladies of Vengeance trilogy. You can't go wrong with Charlize Theron driving your movie. Unfortunately the prequel to MAD MAX: FURY ROAD does not take the above advice and while we wouldn't dare to advise the great George Miller on his filmmaking sequel choices (BABE: PIG IN THE CITY good and HAPPY FEET TWO not so much) we do hope that Nicholas Hoult can convey his great performance as a likable bald villain into playing Lex Luthor. And there's your one reference to comic book movies that ALL pale in comparison to an action movie that will referenced and spoke of with great reverence decades from now. And now I will retire from writing these show notes to go watch SWEET NOVEMBER or THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. Because I remember Charlize. And not much else. Good day!

In which one man thinks he may have a PAYBACK: Director's Cut DVD on a shelf somewhere... Quentin Tarantino uses this chapter of CINEMA SPECULATION to settle some scores with an overzealous hack of a film critic from the 70s, the entire cinematic output of the 80s and lastly with a glancing blow to Mel Gibson in the 90s. The last one is relevant to the screen adaptations of Richard Stark's Parker character who here is played by Robert Duvall. We use this as opportunity to make bald jokes and we think QT would be proud. Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

On the road with a backtracking Quentin Tarantino... ...for he apologized for his half of the failed GRINDHOUSE double feature BUT WE DON'T. After suffering through an hour of PLANET TERROR we loved nothing more than taking a ride with Zoë Bell (as The Great Zoë Bell, of course) and the second group of our vengeful ladies. This time their eyes are set on the villainous Stuntman Mike as played by Kurt Russell but we look more to acclaimed filmmakers dealing with failure and how that quest for a perfect filmography limits the conversation on experimentation. Is this episode our DEATH PROOF? We certainly hope so. Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

A dumpster truck filled with love. We're a little late... but Steve McQueen is a forgiving man in Sam Peckinpah's THE GETAWAY. As long as the one being forgiven is Ali MacGraw. And even then it will take the runtime of a feature film and numerous escapes from the law, criminals and dumpster trucks before that grouch gives an inch. We expect more from our listeners even if they expect less and less from us. Welcome to the Movie Book Club once again!

To tell the story of female empowerment we must turn to Sir Ridley Scott... ...and of course the talents of Susan Sarandon, TRILOGY IN THEORY favorite Geena Davis and most importantly screenwriter Callie Khouri. And while one host fails miserably at his attempt at a mini book club by starting (but not finishing) OFF THE CLIFF by Becky Aikman... he did agree with the anecdote of not cheering on the screen death of the wonderfully tall Brigitte Nielsen in BEVERLY HILLS COP 2. That's neither here nor there but support women! And we intend to do so this month as we hit the road with leading ladies of action and leave Shooter McGavin behind!

Floating along the river with QT and Lara Croft's father... In the spirit of Richard Linklater (our most popular filmmaker on the podcast) we present a hang movie. Just boys being boys. Except for Burt Reynolds who is, as always, the manliest man in a vest. Which leads into our episode primarily on masculinity. Something you can take to the bank coming from two movie podcasters, a creative field dominated by the burliest of men. Or something like that.

Meet a man who manages to hate both Michael Jordan and Toni Collette... ...and please (PLEASE) stick around for the other host who respects and admires both while also showing some love to the auteur Mr. Ben Affleck. This means it's time for another new release! Though it may be a throwback to popcorn dramas aimed at adults (and not children's movies marketed towards adults who won't grow up) we still must cope with the nostalgia factor that is anything set in the 80s or 90s. No matter as Viola Davis comes in to close it out with a speech on the great American tradition of wage theft. More fun than ANT-MAN 3 these show notes can assure you!

We begun our discussion on a modern romcom classic by reading erotica. As one does when discussing NOTTING HILL. It's lovely. And mostly gross. The erotica! Not Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant falling for each other across tax brackets in a Richard Curtis script. One host is late to the game and the other never really left his rewatch of Flopsy & the Movie Star. Nor does he ever want to. In fact this is approximately his eighteenth podcast on the very subject. No apologies! Except for the erotica talk.

We travel back to the good old days of courtship... ...when Orson Welles could still rock a deep V and at the height of his career. No, not making CITIZEN KANE but instead being married to his co-star in THE LADY FROM SHANGAI, the great Rita Hayworth. Obviously. To kick off our trilogy on protagonists out kicking their coverage in like we look at another troubled Welles production which leads into another obvious fact... that he was the Zack Snyder of his time.

If you didn't think Quentin Tarantino could ever shut up about movies... ... how about two OTHER guys who can't shut up about HIM talking movies?? Huh? HUH?? Worth a dollar? We certainly hope so. On TRILOGY IN THEORY we've talked about the desire to read more and one of the books both of us have been enjoying recently is Mr. Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION. I say enjoying because for our Patreon supporters we are going to produce an episode for each chapter which discusses a film the author into the filmmaker that he is today.

Theatrical movies are back! Which is to say that the old men shouting at clouds FINALLY get a franchise reboot that speaks to their hyper-specific demographic for peak nostalgia. No offense to CREED 3 and JOHN WICK 4. All the offense in the world to SHAZAM 2. We finish out our trip to New York City with Ghostface taking the subway and one host finally knows one of the new SCREAM requel cast members name. Mainly because Jenna Ortega was on a Netflix show that he didn't watch. Still... it's progress! Make sure to come back next week for our Patreon exclusive book club episode on the DIRTY HARRY chapter from CINEMA SPECULATION by Quentin Tarantino!

When you want to see Gremlins take over Manhattan... ...but the studio didn't really want to pay for it. Another theme is forming as we continue to look at horror movies in New York City (or Vancouver.) This time around we try to figure out if we were ever the right age for Joe Dante's filmography, it is revealed that THE SANDLOT was actually a trilogy and one host's distaste for Alexandra Daddario befuddles the other host AND THE WORLD. As the great auteur Chris Columbus would say... kill Gizmo. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

It's a long boat ride to New York City... ...but thankfully you have this podcast to keep you company. In which one host calls this series part of the Mt. Rushmore of horror while ALSO calling this the worst film to ever be featured on this very podcast! The other host is befuddled that there is such a thing as The Tommy Jarvis Saga. And he missed out! So this podcast is basically some Crystal Lake Memories for the fans and uninitiated alike as we join the chorus of complaints about the lack of Manhattan in... JASON TAKES MANHATTAN. But that's what you have a TRILOGY IN THEORY for as this is merely the first part in our horrific journey to New York City!

The finest of the Emma Stone/Ryan Gosling dating trilogy. Sure LA LA LAND won Best Picture for thirty seconds but then there is GANGSTER SQUAD. Which leaves us with this ensemble film starring Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Lio Tipton and Kevin Bacon as the bad guy... but not really. THANKFULLY there is no ambassador of the movie posters full of squares in Greg Kinnear. For that would be death. So come with us as we celebrate the death of our First Date Trilogy and move on to... Jason Takes Manhattan? In March... love is truly dead. But TRILOGY IN THEORY lives. We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

An actual movie from a trilogy on Trilogy in Theory? We make exceptions for any entry in Richard Linklater's BEFORE trilogy and this time it's BEFORE SUNRISE! However as the producers of this independent podcast we can't pass up on an opportunity to listen to one of our more popular episodes when we covered the second part of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke's adventures... BEFORE SUNSET. https://trilogyintheory.pinecast.co/episode/0fbe47144ca6429d/before-sunset-2004- I'll wait a moment for you to catch your podcast breath after that masterpiece and spoiler alert... we top that episode as one host calls this the ultimate cheat movie while working at a video store and your other host had to get married to finally enjoy this romance without any cynicism. It's beautiful. It's romantic. It's the latest episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY. We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

With Woody Allen... it's best to just get the kissing over with. Okay, that was poor form. Maybe. However the legacy ANNIE HALL has had on the romcom can not be denied... even if it does involve sacrificing the peak charms of Diane Keaton to making out with that... comedian. We hope to take your mind off that by INSTEAD imagining the first date and first kiss from one of your hosts as he cites this very movie as being a go-to in his playbook of courtship! The other host just hates on THE WEDDING SINGER and Billy Idol for some reason. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

Horror adjacent but still a generous helping of black humor. That would be a description of TRILOGY IN THEORY but we suppose we can share some of that thinly veiled acclaim with Ralph Fiennes and company in THE MENU. One of the few adult-targeted movies to have some degree of financial success in the fall of 2022 we sit down for seconds of eating the rich and discuss just how weird looking Anya Taylor-Joy remains.

We are experts on Cate Blanchett performances. Which is to say that we think they are mostly pretty good. Good job, Ms. Blanchett. Well... except for that TRUTH movie about Dan Rather. That one was pretty bad, CATE. But Tár is great! Well... one host thinks so. The other is greatly insulted at writer/director Todd Field's views on video game music. Insert Homer Simpson NERDDDDDS gif here. Or a Youtube clip if you are feeling frisky. Which you shouldn't. Not when supporting Tár. Tár is too frisky.
