A New Identity for Christmas

On this special Christmas Day episode we give our listeners those new identities that they probably didn't even know they wanted. HOWEVER for those that listened closely who could deny putting on the catsuit and becoming Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in BATMAN RETURNS? Or perhaps a dead ringer for Veronica Lake like Kim Basinger in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL? And Leonardo DiCaprio bedding any number of young starlets as... well, Leonardo DiCaprio in CATCH ME IF YOU CAN?

Doesn't this already sound better than Christmas 2020? TRILOGY IN THEORY works best when facing such weak competition. Happy holidays!

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

In the third part in our criminal Christmas trilogy we are granted many a gift from the Steven Spielberg classic (that's right, we're old and you're old) CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. These presents include:

• A great knock knock joke from Tom Hanks that you most definitely should tell to your non-mask wearing family member.
• Amy Adams with an even deadlier combination of disarming charm when you add braces to the mix.
• And Leonardo DiCaprio in no man's land of handsome (which ain't that bad, Leo) in playing too young and too old.

Okay maybe that last one was a bit of coal but I believe one of the finest actors of his generation will get over it. Hopefully you will as well and come back for your stocking of film nerd neuroses as we wrap-up our trilogy of A New Identity for Christmas in our TiT Holiday Special!

L.A. Confidential (1997)

All we want for Christmas is a lovely lady who looks like Veronica Lake. And not, we can not stress this enough, a gift that resembles in ANY WAY one Kevin Spacey.

But he's still pretty good in the Curtis Hanson and Brian Helgeland film adaptation of James Ellroy's L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. So that means our listeners will have to settle for Guy Pearce. Better than a PS5, right?

Batman Returns (1992)

Most people say, it's just not Christmas without Christopher Walken as a scheming businessman with great hair. And if you are most people you also listen to TRILOGY IN THEORY.

Unless it's a month on Michael Cera, you jerks.

But no Michael Cera this month! For it's December which means a podcast is obligated to do a Christmas theme.

Every week.

This week it's BATMAN RETURNS. And one host is not yet in the spirit. For he hates penguins. And cats. But he likes Batman. Which makes him all the more put out by what Tim Burton is laying down.

Merry Christmas Part One!

The Everything Must Go Trilogy

On this Thanksgiving we attempt to be thankful for all of the things in our lives.

Right before we get rid of them.

No, this isn't one of this creepy and extremely privileged YouTube minimalist videos from a wealthy twenty something who is tired of having so much stuff. This is about a man dealing with the trauma of destroyed Nintendo Switch cases and the trilogy of films that got him through it.

This is just another month of TRILOGY IN THEORY.

Hearts Beat Loud (2018)

The ever cantankerous persona of Ron Swanson is only somewhat to be found in the Nick Offerman starring HEARTS BEAT LOUD... sooooo we try our best to fill that void.

But this film is so darn likable.

Forgive us for this corny episode and then promptly go to hell for agreeing that it's corny. Like rate and review! This is TRILOGY IN THEORY.

Everything Must Go (2010)

Who knew that a mostly ignored Will Ferrell dramedy from 2010 would unite your two favorite podcast hosts even further in their bromance?

Not the filmmakers of EVERYTHING MUST GO but I'm sure they will take this as praise.

In fact they would probably gladly accept a podcast (even this one) a decade later trying to share the surprising amount of joy that this film contains. As long as that joy remains in earbuds and not in the front lawn. Because your hosts have a lot of Criterions. And they have learned no lessons from this month's TRILOGY IN THEORY!
