Welcome to Odd Trilogies, a podcast dedicated to the strange inter-connectedness of film! To us, an "odd trilogy" is any set of three filmswhether bonded by story, spirit, themes, and/or shared cast & crewthat 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 onestrios 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! Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode 119: My Big Fat Greek Trilogy (with Paige Stratton)
Episode 119
Saturday, 14 February, 2026
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a big, fat, Greek rom-com trilogy? Logan & Andy head to Chicago to fall in love with Toula Portokalos and her delightfully wild family in the MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING trilogy! Joined by their beloved friend, longtime moviegoing pal, and honorary Portokalos herself, Paige Stratton, the boys discuss a trilogy that spans two decades, three weddings, a vacation to Greece, too many cousins to count, and enough Windex to heal any wound. The trilogy includes 2002's My Big Fat Greek Wedding and its 2016 and 2023 sequels. How does the original hold up after more than two decades of 21st-century rom-coms? What do the sequels offer to the overarching story of Toula and her family? Does John Corbett retain his strength even after his flowing mane is cut short? Find out on this distinctively Mediterranean new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
