  • Summary

  • Welcome to Odd Trilogies, a podcast dedicated to the strange inter-connectedness of film! To us, an "odd trilogy" is any set of three films—whether bonded by story, spirit, themes, and/or shared cast & crew—that we think has an interesting angle worth digging into! One of the classic examples of a "lesser known" trilogy is that the film Oldboy is actually the second part in Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance Trilogy!" But is it a sequel? What are the other two about? How does each one deal with the concept of vengeance? THAT'S something worth exploring! Our "trilogies" are not limited to the deliberate or canonical, like Bill & Ted or Pixar's Cars; we also curate and discuss more incidental ones—trios with unofficial or less tangible connections, like our "Odd Nutcracker" or "Rise of Snyder" trilogies! Those trilogies may be based on a commonality that we find interesting or which is significant to film culture. Whatever the connection is, we (your hosts, Logan Sowash & Andy Carr) apply our love and knowledge of film to analyze these trilogies as whole bodies, as well as the individual films themselves. Listen and laugh with us as we dive into the never-ending pit of cinematic connectivity known as ODD TRILOGIES!

    Episode 86: The Alien Rebootquels
    Sep 7 2024

    Fifteen years after Alien: Resurrection, the Alien franchise enters a new era as directors Ridley Scott and Fede Álvarez try their best to reignite interest into the classic horror franchise. What do you call a prequel/interquel that is basically trying to reboot a franchise? Well we like to call them...rebootquels! It's time to talk about THE ALIEN REBOOTQUELS.

    Logan and Andy head back into space to discuss the trilogy that covers the last twelve years of Alien cinema: 2012's Prometheus, 2017's Alien: Covenant, and 2024's Alien: Romulus. How does Scott's return to the franchise differ from his iconic 1979 film? What makes Covenant a "soft reboot" even though it's heavily tied to Prometheus? How will the man behind Don't Breathe and the Evil Dead remake bring his style to this complicated franchise? Find out on this new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

    Episode 85: The Alien Sequels
    Aug 17 2024

    In space, no one can hear you scream...AGAIN?!? Let's find out! Logan and Andy grab pulse rifles, flashlights, and some common sense as they join Ellen Ripley to take on THE ALIEN SEQUELS in honor of the release of Alien: Romulus. The duo head to LV-426 to discuss the films made to turn 1979's Alien into a franchise: 1986's Aliens, 1992's Alien 3, and 1997's Alien: Resurrection. Does the iconic 80's sequel still hold up? Is there anything redeemable in Alien 3? Wait, Alien: Resurrection was written by WHO? Find out on this new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
