The Outfit (2022)
11/01/2023 Duración: 32minWe present a resolution for the new year... ...and that is a simple request to find the little square on a streaming service (currently Amazon Prime, you're welcome) and enjoy the old-fashioned thrill of discovery as Mark Rylance schools us all in THE OUTFIT! Now granted we fully support you doing this only after you've had your fill of watching GLASS ONION on repeat, because Netflix needs all that new ad money to pay for it. However there is a joy in the unknown. Especially when one of the hosts knew of this great film for most of 2022... and his idiot co-host did not. Enjoy!

Glass Onion (2022)
21/12/2022 Duración: 30minRian Johnson Strikes Back... ...with another KNIVES OUT entry and OF COURSE it features the return of Ana de Armas as she finds yet another rich liberal family of condescending jerks and challenges them to a laser sword fight. Just as the Internet drew it up. Fortunately that is not the case as Daniel Craig is the lone returning character to GLASS ONION and this time the target is a Musky group of sycophants enjoying a murder mystery game all in pursuit of... an iPad. It is our Christmas week episode after all! Happy holidays, listeners!

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
14/12/2022 Duración: 34minIt's Christmas season which means we should be watching IN BRUGES. Or more likely IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. However we choose instead to continue our look back at our fandom for 2022 with a brand spanking new to HBO Max (though you should have watched this in theaters, jerk) THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN. Martin McDonagh reminds us all that time is limited... and yet here we are podcasting. And here you are listening. Or maybe just reading the show notes. And deciding against listening. Jerk.

Scream (2022)
07/12/2022 Duración: 32minThis Rian Johnson mockery will not stand... ...well, maybe for this episode. But just you wait until the end of the month, dear listeners! Just don't tell Netflix we actually watched a movie in theaters. ANYWAY we are back with our own version of a "requel" as it was just our last trilogy that featured the black sheep of the SCREAM franchise... and here we are with another entry. 2022 was a decent year at the movies. But really we just want to feel the comforts of childhood again. A place where we can feel like the experts. We may not know who this new Wednesday Addams is but man are we happy to see Neve Campbell back in action. Even though they wouldn't pay her for the next one. Alas, progress must wait until 2023. Or 2024. Enjoy our look back at 2022 at the movies! Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Patreon including CLERKS 3 which didn't make our cut for a trilogy on triples!

A Trilogy of Black Sheep
16/11/2022 Duración: 24minWe accepted our punishment and have reached the end. Again. And again. Our reexamination of the black sheep of highly respected film trilogies (okay maybe not GHOSTBUSTERS) has reached its unnatural conclusion as we kick THE GODFATHER PART III, SCREAM 3 and GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) one last time while they are down... and have a pretty good time doing it. This may be our coldest take in a medium that demands something spicy and controversial. What can we say? We think these three movies still stink. Enjoy!

Ghostbusters (2016)
10/11/2022 Duración: 28minAnswer the Call? The Female Ghostbusters? We got all the clickable comments. Two men who are decidedly not beholden to the original GHOSTBUSTERS film take on THE hot button issue of 2016... Paul Feig's GHOSTBUSTERS. Notice how we give all the credit to a man there? Does that help? DOES IT? Unfortunately it doesn't. As much as we want to root for Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig's cosplay this just ends up being the saddest episode ever. We mention STRANGER THINGS a few times... does that help? No. No, it does not. Enjoy!

Scream 3 (2000)
13/10/2022 Duración: 34minJay and Silent Bob learned how to overstay their welcome from the SCREAM franchise. This seems like an appropriate lesson for TRILOGY IN THEORY as our little podcast just hit 100 episodes. Spoiler alert: we don't plan on stopping anytime soon because we have yet to make any money off of this crap. Unlike the SCREAM franchise which still is held in high regards by your hosts... though maybe not this entry. At least there is Parker Posey playing the best Courtney Cox in the entire series. AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT. And 100 episodes. You're welcome. Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Patreon including an excuse for us to discuss the absolute classic (?)

The Godfather Part III (1990)
06/10/2022 Duración: 41minWe question just how much Francis Ford Coppola values family... ...and how little he valued Al Pacino's hair in THE GODFATHER PART III. Or is it The GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE? Take your pick for we remain decidedly unhappy. Or are we happy in our unhappiness with the finale to the Corleone family saga? Because of this and search engine optimization #ReleaseTheSnyderCut gets mentioned and to a lesser extent our shared love of SCREAM 2. Which at least mentions The Godfather sequels. Did I mention that I'm going to see SCREAM 2 the 25th anniversary theatrical showing this weekend? I've earned this. For this represents 100 episodes of TRILOGY IN THEORY. And I also watched THE GODFATHER PART III: CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE: BUT NOT REALLY. It was fun!

Paradise is No Picnic
30/09/2022 Duración: 29minMuch like Albert Brooks... one host can't be happy with every version of cinematic heaven. As the host with the opposite opinion of THE MAJESTIC I'll take my cheap shots on my unwitting partner in podcasting. For I write the show notes. Which is clearly important. Maybe. With DEFENDING YOUR LIFE and THE DESCENDANTS joining us in our idyllic trilogy (in theory, of course) we debate the traumas of our various leading men as they attempt to keep their previous sins away from what should be paradise. As usual, George Clooney comes out ahead. Not much of a spoiler. What is a spoiler is that THIS is our greatest trilogy and can only be topped by our very next episode. Episode 100. THE GODFATHER PART 3. Naturally. Support what we do with early episodes and bonus content on Patreon including an episode on your hosts favorite teen romance PAPER TOWNS!

The Descendants (2011)
22/09/2022 Duración: 40minGeorge Clooney makes a flip-flops sprint of panic iconic. Among his other accomplishments. Such as losing a lover to one Matthew Lillard. Alexander Payne continues to bring darkly comic tragedies to life in his follow-up to SIDEWAYS and in doing so he may have peaked with one host. But not before said host hated THE DESCENDANTS initially. It's an episode of wild emotional swings and Robert Forster punching children. A new TRILOGY IN THEORY classic!

The Majestic (2001)
16/09/2022 Duración: 27minJim Carrey gets no respect... ...and Frank Darabont is told to get back to his Stephen King books as one host comes out swinging. This instinct for cruelty inspires the host with a heart to also turn to the dark side in what may be the most contentious (and yet joyful) conversation on THE MAJESTIC. For that matter it may be the only conversation that's currently taking place about THE MAJESTIC in 2022. So we mention THE BATMAN in a futile effort to draw the listener in as two podcasts hosts enter... and both presumably come back as we finish out our Paradise trilogy on the very next episode!

Defending Your Life (1991)
08/09/2022 Duración: 29minWe love everything about an Albert Brooks movie except for Albert Brooks! However a little bit of Meryl goes a long way as we kick off our paradise trilogy with this oddly charming movie about a man who gets hit by a bus and scores a date with The Greatest Actress of All Time. Ms. Streep gets a guy who terrorized Ryan Gosling in DRIVE and also made an appearance on THE SIMPSONS. She loses but we all win and can only hope that Rip Torn defends us in the in-between place.

Sex, Lies and High School
03/09/2022 Duración: 27minWe can only relate to the youth of movies with a reference to THE SIMPSONS. That's still hip right? We finish our tour of lying about sex in high school across cinematic generations by both justifying titillation (thank you, WILD THINGS) and condemning it (go kick rocks, ASSASSINATION NATION.) Which leaves us to say mostly nice things about the charms of EASY A while acknowledging that its setup only really works if you have the movie star charm of Emma Stone. And thank god Bo Burnham's EIGHTH GRADE was not involved in this filth!

Assassination Nation (2018)
18/08/2022 Duración: 27minTwo old guys are scared of young women. So just another movie podcast! Unfortunately for us (and you, dear listener) we come to our final entry in our look at modern-ish high school life with ASSASSINATION NATION. One host maintained hope that he would like this film (both times!) before the hate settles in. For fans of this film we plead ignorance immediately by trying to apply the STAR TREK good/bad rules to the HEATHERS inspired entries to a world that has blissfully passed us by. So there's that. Enjoy? As means of apology here is a bonus episode to the high school cinematic experience that is pure joy for the hosts as they go back to talking PAPER TOWNS as they often do off-mic.

Easy A (2010)
07/07/2022 Duración: 25minPatricia Clarkson becomes the official face of TiT... ...but Stanley Tucci isn't far behind. This duo of perhaps the greatest onscreen parents in EASY A allows two old men to discuss the sexual politics in a high school setting... and now that I'm looking at that sentence I should probably make clear that these show notes are a collaborative effort between hosts. Mike has very little oversight on this show. What we do have is a charming film announcing Emma Stone as a movie star and a continued defense of Lisa Kudrow. Kind of. Enjoy!

Wild Things (1998)
30/06/2022 Duración: 30minA formative film in one man's youth. And a formative film in one man's middle age as well! WILD THINGS is everything to everyone! Especially if you are Matt Dillon. Somehow not reaching his apex of creep as he would later in 1998 with THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY... but he still does pretty well for himself here. We debate if Neve Campbell is white trash enough, how Denise Richards should have been a great sitcom star and whether or not there's enough bacon from Kevin Bacon. All in all another family friendly episode of TiT. Enjoy!

Tracking Down Trials of Combat in 1978
23/06/2022 Duración: 25minWe come to the conclusion that we wouldn't have survived 1978. On the other hand we've come of age post 9/11, a recession and a global pandemic so 1978 had the simple amusements of Clint Eastwood and a monkey riding around in a truck; 1978 can go kick rocks.

Every Which Way But Loose (1978)
16/06/2022 Duración: 24minOne host just doesn't understand the blue collar desire for Clint Eastwood and a monkey. The simple pleasure of life. The greatest film of 1978. EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.

The Deer Hunter (1978)

Somewhere in between we talk about possibly the first Academy Award Best Picture winner on TiT in Michal Cimino's THE DEER HUNTER. Giving it the proper respect it deserves.

Five Deadly Venoms (1978)
18/05/2022 Duración: 28minA correction is issued by one host for fear of being tracked down by a venomous social club. Meanwhile the other host maintains his composure by doing what most white male film fans do when confronted with an international film he doesn't understand by citing a Tarantino movie that ripped it off. (This may also just be yet another excuse for him to think of Uma Thurman.)
