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!

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.
