The Odd Podd

Trevor introduces Valerie to the beginnings of Wes Anderson's career. The jumpsuits in Bottle Rocket are heavily discussed.

(This was recorded back in May if any topical references are mentioned. Sorry it took me, Valerie, so long to upload. Was sad for a long while <3)

Trevor & Valerie spend some time arguing over who introduces the show, plug their other projects, and also do some science analogies that don't go anywhere before introducing an Odd Podd Classic (starting at 16:28) with standup comedian Eli Olsberg (Closure: The Podcast That Never Ends, Pod is a Woman, & the standup show Performance Anxiety) to discuss James Bridges' 1979 film The China Syndrome. The 3 talk about the Crypto Dot Com Arena, Best Buy, Glengarry Glen Ross, films & shows teachers subjects us to, & more! The episode was recorded on Zoom audio so it lags a few times, sorry about that.

It's the one that started it all! Trevor & Valerie watched A New Leaf and had lots of tangents, like always. Originally aired April Fools, 2021

Elaine Maynia has taken over Trevor & Valerie as they cover the incredibly misunderstood Elaine May film Ishtar with standup & comedy writer Sean O'Connor (Solar Opposites, Lights Out w/ David Spade, Norm Macdonald Live, Conan) to talk about the brilliant writing of Elaine May, May's time in The Compass Players, how this film was a forerunner in the field of Dumb Guy Comedy, shit talking of Beatty & Hoffman, & Valerie makes an impromptu Ishtar Trivia Game and chaos ensues. The trio also talk about Superman, Phil Rosenthal's podcast, Save The Cat, & how the Grumpy Old Men are the original Dirty Grandpas, and much more.

Make sure to check out Sean's upcoming podcast My Stupid Sweet Sixteen!

Sean can be found @seanoconnz on Twitter & Letterboxd & the rest of the socials.

Valerie is @stealingvalerie everywhere & Trevor is @trevorcumbo everywhere.
