Kiyan and Dylan should record this podcast in different languages. Remember when I said that Year 2 of Triple Play was starting with high octane high stakes movies? Well that died immediately because this week we have The Dollars Trilogy, directed by Sergio Leone. Not necessarily not high octane, but we did come close to falling asleep while watching because of good decisions. Show-notes: 4:59 Including me. I’ve been called the greatest director of all time. Not sure what the guy who called me t...

And that’s when everyone realized we’re sponsored by LG. This month Kiyan and Dylan make a snap decision between precisely 2 expanded universe options for the Bourne trilogy: A book, or the TV movie. Naturally they chose the TV movie because it was less time consuming. The Bourne Identity TV movie was written by Carol Sobieski and aired in 1988. Show-notes: 1:38 Keyser Söze. They named him that just because the ö looks like a surprised face. Trust me. 4:22 The extended cut of the movie, availabl...

I went to a bar once, they told me not to forget the white Russians. This month Kiyan and Dylan take a high octane, high stakes, high speed approach to year 2 of Triple Play. By which we mean, they watched the Bourne trilogy (Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and Bourne Ultimatum) and then discovered that the behinds the scenes were… decidedly less thrilling than the films themselves. And yet they still try to make it entertaining, so here it is! Show-notes: 2:36 Here’s a list of his books. Yea...

To be honest, however, socks with crocs are even higher on the style scale. This month Kiyan and Dylan try to find something in the X-Men universe that they can get done in a week, because procrastination is the way of the future! So they turned to Pryde of the X-Men, a pilot for an ultimately unmade animated series. It was written by Larry Parr and was aired on September 16, 1989. Show-notes: 1:13 Robocop: The Animated Series ran between October and December 1988. It was animated by South Korea...

We’ve gone too deep into music genres! This month Kiyan and Dylan experience more superhero movies. Just like how there’s a superhero bubble in the real movie world, we’ve created one in Triple Play. How long do you think it will be until it bursts? Soon. Very soon. Does that count as a spoiler? Anyway, it’s X-Men, X2, and X3: The Last Stand. Check out some show-notes below where we’ve listed our sources and made any corrections that we needed to. Show-notes: 4:10 The original and still-running ...

It’s like a 5 year old drew the spiderman logo. This month Kiyan and Dylan cover something that could barely even be considered “expanded universe” for Spiderman. It’s Italian Spiderman! Originally released on YouTube, the first episode was aired on the 22nd of May in 2008. Also, do you want to know what color that serum was? Open up the show-notes and take a look. Show-notes 00:10 Italian is the language we were attempting to speak here. Translations from Google Translate for improved authentic...

Of course, that doesn’t mean we aren’t experts. Buckle your seat belts, because Kiyan and Dylan are about to swing their way through New York as they explore Spider-Man! Specifically, the 2000’s era Sam Raimi trilogy. The consensus was that it was rather enjoyable. If you thought that this episode was enjoyable, check below for some show notes and links to where they got their information, and please tell your friends about the show! Stan Lee talks about his conception of Spider-Man in the on di...

Woah man you’re jacked in the Matrix. Sorry bro, just a prank! This month Kiyan and Dylan explore what is probably the only expanded universe Matrix content that still exists (now that Matrix Online has shut down) and watch The Animatrix. It was written and directed by a variety of people, and released on DVD on June 3, 2003. You can watch it on Netflix or on DVD (which you can order off of Amazon). Dylan searched his history and couldn’t find the fan website he talked about. Rest assured he’ll ...

Put down the drugs and listen to Triple Play instead. Please. This month Kiyan and Dylan digitized and uploaded themselves into the virtual world. No it’s not Tron, it’s The Matrix. Tron doesn’t even have 3 movies, the third one got canceled last we heard. Anyway, read on below for some links and show notes, and listen in to find out how The Matrix got made and what we thought of it. A good starting place for any self respecting Matrix fan would be The Wachowskis themselves. The New Yorker publi...

“In the arms…. of… a wooookieee… FLY AWAAAAY.” You may notice something a bit different. Or maybe not, maybe you totally missed it. The podcast has been decked out in full holiday attire with a temporary intro and outro from the Nutcracker ballet. Consider it the Triple Play Holiday Special, an hour long jokes fest about the Star Wars Holiday Special . Which was aired on November 17, 1978. No seriously, this is our Holiday Special. We made it up on the spot; it’s literally just a string of dumb ...

But is it too sappy for Napoleon Solo? Better get yourself ready, because this episode covers what is probably the biggest trilogy of them all: the Star Wars original trilogy. Join Kiyan and Dylan as they set themselves right into the action and explore just how Star Wars was made. Then be thrilled as they discuss it’s two sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Back to the Future may be Dylan’s favorite movie, but Star Wars is at least second for Kiyan. And remember to keep rea...

Look I have this planned out: watch a video of the book pages flipping, and read the screenplay. This month, while our loyal fanbase waits for our next trilogy episode, we read Jurassic Park. The Novel. Not the movie. We didn’t find the screenplay and just read that, because that makes no sense and wouldn’t give us any topics for an episode. So while you wait for our next trilogy (coming in November; it’s out of this world.), enjoy this little .5 episode discussing Jurassic Park, by Michael Cric...

Dun dun, dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun. On this episode of Triple Play, Kiyan and Dylan explore another movie juggernaut. Last time it was Back to the Future, this time it’s Jurassic Park. These movies, however, seem to dip in quality far quicker than Back to the Future did. Listen in and take journey behind the scenes and explore the Jurassic Park trilogy (excluding Jurassic World, of course). Remember, we spared no expense! A large portion of our information can be found in the DVD ext...

Please lay your cameras at the feet of the all mighty Zemeckis statue. So this is a rather interesting experiment. Like we said in the episode, we’re putting out these “.5” episodes that serve almost as an addendum to our episodes on the actual movie trilogies. So this week is a bit of a review/overview of We Don’t Need Roads, written by Caseen Gaines and originally published on June 23rd, 2015. Check out the book (or not?) on Amazon. Erik Larson’s book The Devil in the White city is a historica...

I suppose it’s a hoverboard rampage in the future, right? For the very first actual episode of Triple Play, Kiyan and Dylan did their second one day marathon of Back to the Future! Back to the Future is one of Dylan’s favorite movies, so it’s a good thing they started with it… It also happens to have it’s 30th anniversary this year! Today, July 3rd, happens to be exactly 30 years to the day that the first film premiered. This was our first episode in this slightly more freeform style, and as suc...

It’s been a long time coming, evidently. Here, finally, in the flesh and bone, is the very first episode of our new show, Triple Play. We’ve been hinting and mentioning this show all the way back since Trust Your Doctor hit its 5th episode, which you can find over here. Like we mention in the episode, we’re shooting to put out an episode every 2 months. What we didn’t mention is that after about a year we’ll probably step back and evaluate if the show is successful or not to move to a monthly re...
