Who is that group of experts venturing out into dangerous territory? Why, it's Logan, Andy, and Joe! And what is their mission? SAVING MATT DAMON. In honor of the nearly 30 years (and countless millions of dollars) Hollywood has dedicated to bringing Damon home from far-off peril, and just in time for his latest misadventure in Chris Nolan's The Odyssey, your hosts have teamed up with Joe Shearer (Midwest Film Journal) to embark on three previous Damon-centric operations: 1998's Saving Private Ryan, 2014's Interstellar, and 2015's The Martian. How is each role emblematic of their respective eras in Damon's career? Does one make better use of his talents than the rest? And which Damon is most worthy of saving?

Can you remember a time before Christopher Nolan was one of the biggest names in the film industry? Logan & Andy do! The boys are teaming up with local amnesiac Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer) to discuss THE RISE OF NOLAN.

Is Nolan's now-ubiquitous style present from the beginning? What's it like to see Robin Williams dramatically opposite Al Pacino in a Nolan film? And which one of us is the real John G.?

We're gonna need a bigger pod! Logan & Andy team up with local oceanographer-in-training Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer) to talk about THE RISE OF SPIELBERG. In honor of acclaimed director Steven Spielberg's latest release, Disclosure Day, the trio discuss his first television film, Duel (1971); his first theatrical film, The Sugarland Express (1974); and his (the) first blockbuster, 1975's Jaws. How does his first film hold up over 50 years later? How did he evolve as a director in Sugarland? And how can one director make a tanker truck, a shark, and Goldie Hawn's unbridled screams all feel so similarly monstrous? Find out on this frenzied new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

Oppression, propaganda, the folly of man (and pig) — it's time for a revolution! A little over eighty years after George Orwell's classic novel was published, Logan & Andy team up with veteran guest, history teacher, and ally to farm animals Adam LeClerc to tackle the ODD ANIMAL FARM ADAPTATIONS. From traditional British animation to a star-studded CGI film, the trio discuss the three existing film translations of the novel from 1954, 1999, and 2026. How does each film distinguish itself? How do the eras in which they're made affect the films themselves? And where did Boxer go?? Find out on this revolutionary new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!

It stumbles! It growls! It's...an iconic Universal Pictures actor stuck behind an ungodly amount of makeup? Then it must be LON CHANEY JR.'S MUMMY SEQUELS! With local mummy expert Evan Dossey (Midwest Film Journal) as support, Logan & Andy take on a dangerous archaelogical dig to uncover the final three films in Universal's original Mummy series: 1942's The Mummy's Tomb as well as 1944's The Mummy's Ghost and The Mummy's Curse. How does Lon Chaney Jr. compare to Boris Karloff's original portrayal? Where does the plot go after so many time jumps? And just how many priests does this evil, mummy-serving cabal have?!

In 2023, Logan and Andy discussed the iconic compilation film trilogy that put Mobile Suit Gundam on the map for so many people. In 2026, they will do what so many Newtypes fear to even tackle: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation. With new mobile suits (and a plethora of stylish sunglasses) at their disposal, the boys team up with fellow AEUG members Evan Dossey and Alex Holmes to take on the compilation trilogy for Gundam's iconic sequel series, covering 2004's Heirs to the Stars, 2005's Lovers, and 2006's Love Is the Pulse of the Stars. How does the trilogy cram 50 episodes of Zeta into just four and a half hours? Why do the movies jump between crisp, new animation original '80s footage? Also, who is that cool blonde guy in the sunglasses? (I bet Char would've liked him.) Find out all that and more in this frantic new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
