Youth in Revolt (2009)

It's time to be bad, dear listeners. And there's no greater bad boy in American cinema than François Dillinger as played by the actor that made all parents concerned for the youth at the end of aughts.

That's right. Double The Cera in this episode on YOUTH IN REVOLT.

If that wasn't panty dropping enough, you also have Mike and Web. And they're pretty good. Not great. But pretty good.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

Our most dedicated listeners may find this very podcast to be an infinite playlist of two men with undeniable sexual chemistry... so why not give them more of the same? Except we switch out our hosts for perhaps the more appealing Kat Dennings and Michael Cera in 2008's NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST.

This particular mixtape has less emo, more Wu-Tang Clan, THE One Direction and a debate over the appropriate amount of support from Ari Graynor.

Juno (2007)

2007 was a far gentler time when it came to disagreements. J.K. Simmons DID NOT throw a cymbal at your head for revealing your teen pregnancy. Ellen Page insulting your favorite band was not the most insulting thing in the world (or in that particularly awkward conversation, Jason Bateman). And the great Michael Cera could trust his heart with the full confidence that the greatest of all movie channels STARZ would provide ample evidence of amorous affection. This is our episode on JUNO. Enjoy.

Dreaming in Paris of Lives Not Lived

We open with Hemingway and it's all downhill from there as we lament the lack of travel in 2020 and bemoan the inability for our three male leads in BEFORE SUNSET, INCEPTION and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS to ever achieve satisfaction.

Which puts us closer to being in the same category as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ethan Hawke as we'll ever be.

Okay, so maybe we settle for just being in Owen Wilson's company. We hope you've settled for being in our company as we dreamt of Paris this month and give a hint at what's to come next month with our TRILOGY IN THEORY.

Midnight in Paris (2011)

Though we may never fit into the Parisian lifestyle, at least in Woody Allen's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS we find a kindred spirit in Owen Wilson's bumbling DORK.

Granted a bumbling dork who is engaged to Rachel McAdams and begins an affair across time with Marion Cotillard. But basically the same guy as your favorite hosts on TRILOGY IN THEORY!

Inception (2010)

We continue our podcast tour of Paris (which is to say, not really) with great philosophical debate over the nature of dreams (also, not really) as one host finds Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION strangely intimate and the other is four levels deep into the process of filmmaking. By the end of it, no conclusions can be drawn other than we sound like two guys who have no business being in Paris.

Or your ears.

But here we are!

Before Sunset (2004)

The dream of TRILOGY IN THEORY started with a conversation on THE BEFORE TRILOGY... which means of course that one host will question the need of Richard Linklater to the whole venture while the other host reveals his true passion for these characters comes back to a rather attractive high school classmate. A finer pair of serious-minded cinephiles you will not find as we discuss BEFORE SUNSET for our second TRILOGY IN THEORY!
