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!

Over the course of three decades, The Fantastic Four were adapted to screen in three entirely different iterations, all of which failed at some level or another to launch Marvel's First Family into comparable cultural relevance like their peers Spider-Man or the X-Men. To Logan and Andy, that sounds like a series of NOT-SO-FANTASTIC FIRST STEPS!
In time with the fourth attempt to get the characters right, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the boys venture into space to learn the secrets of the family's three previous swings. This trilogy includes the Roger Corman-produced (and never officially released) 1994 film The Fantastic Four, Tim Story's Fantastic Four from 2005, and Josh Trank's infamous 2015 adaptation, Fantastic Four (a.k.a. "Fant4stic").
Why was the Corman film never released? Didn't the 2005 film get a sequel? And how could any adaptation possibly ruin Thing's iconic catchphrase? Find out when Logan screams, "It's clobberin' time!" on this fantastic new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
