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, or shared cast & crew—that has an interesting angle worth digging into. For example, many don't realize that Korean classic "Oldboy" is actually the second film in Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance" trilogy! That's something worth exploring!
Our "trilogies" are not limited to the deliberate or canonical (like "Bill & Ted," Pixar's "Cars"); we also curate and discuss more incidental ones, with more unofficial connections, like our Nutcracker or "Rise of Zack Snyder" trilogies! Those may be based on a commonality that we find interesting, or a grouping that's significant to film culture. Whatever the connections are, we (your hosts, Logan Sowash & Andy Carr) apply our love and knowledge of film to analyze these trilogies as single 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 64: The Skyline Trilogy
After gushing about Mobile Suit Gundam for a whole episode, Logan and Andy decide to keep the sci-fi streak strong by discussing a lesser known, exceptionally odd trilogy: THE SKYLINE TRILOGY.

What does this trilogy bring to the table? What's not to love about Frank Grillo? Also, how does this trilogy keep getting so much money?!?! All that and more in this mesmerizing new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

Episode 60: The End of Rocky
Tape up, put on your gloves, and step into the ring for one last fight (or three). It's time for THE END OF ROCKY! Logan and Andy race up those famous Philly steps to answer the question: where do you take an iconic underdog character once he's on top? Each of the Rocky series' last three entries takes its own jab at an answer. That's right, we're facing off against 1985's Rocky IV, 1990's Rocky V, and 2006's Rocky Balboa. How do they each attempt to conclude Rocky's story? How does each one hold up? Is... is that a robot?!?! Find out in this knockout episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

Customer Reviews
Excellent concept for a movie podcast, wonderfully executed
I am a huge fan of the concept of this show and the hosts are fantastic. There’s a great chemistry to every episode and grouping movies together through a common thread or idea to form an “odd trilogy” is such a cool way to bring a fresh perspective on film criticism. Excellent show!
Great Podcasts, Better Hosts
Love the new podcasts format for the true franchises or trilogies like Cars.
Appreciate all the small details and research you guys throw into the episodes. Keep it up! Looking forward to more light, hearted series like Cars.
