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 81: Chris Pratt's Animated IP Dynasty (with Austin Webster)
Who is the king of modern animation—the man who has brought LEGO, Mario, and now GARFIELD to lucrative cinematic life?
If you guessed Chris Pratt—dammit, you'd be correct! Logan and Andy uncover a truly odd Hollywood phenomenon in CHRIS PRATT'S ANIMATED IP DYNASTY. With help from their good friend (and local LEGO Lord) Austin Webster, the trio analyze Chris Pratt's contributions to 2014's The LEGO Movie, 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and 2024's The Garfield Movie. How do Pratt's performances benefit each film? Was he appropriately cast to begin with? Is there any hope for the episode to stay on track amidst discussions of LEGO, animation, and terrible fan-castings? Find out on this chaotic episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

The Father, the Son, and the...Pastor Dave?!?! With help from their friend JAKE ATWOOD, Logan and Andy prepare to face off against religious scrutiny as they tackle THE GOD'S NOT DEAD SEQUELS.

Which film is the "best" in the franchise? How do the sequels try to boune off of the original film's surprise success? Also, how did they get so many notable actors involved in these films?!?!
