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 78: The Sci-Fi Adaptations of Denis Villeneuve
Aliens? Replicants? A floating Stellan Skarsgård? As Logan and Andy make contact with extraterrestrial visitors, the duo pass the time by discussing auteur Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi adaptations. The boys cover the French Canadian filmmaker’s take on three sci-fi works: a short story (2016’s Arrival), a sequel to a Ridley Scott cult hit (2017’s Blade Runner 2049), and an all-time classic, “unadaptable” novel by Frank Herbert (2021’s Dune and 2024’s Dune: Part Two). How does Villeneuve grow in the span of eight years? What choices does he make in adapting each project? How did he convince a movie studio to fund TWO Dune films?!?! Find out in this out-of-this-world episode!

Episode 77: Shane Black's Buddy Cop Sampler
Car chases? Reluctant duos? Corruption? MURDER?!?! It must be time for SHANE BLACK'S BUDDY COP SAMPLER! Logan and Andy figure out if they're too old for this stuff as they cover the writer-director Shane Black by discussing three films that capture the best of his "buddy cop" style: 1987's Lethal Weapon, 2005's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and 2016's The Nice Guys. How does the subgenre evolve over time? Does Shane Black's voice change creatively when he becomes a director? Also, did they just call that man Gay Perry?
