Nerd-induced mass culture talk that goes on a tangent. Sometimes timely, sometimes timeless; once in a while, we'll bring on a guest. Hosted by Jeff Alexander (nobody-asked.ca) & Jon Encar (jon-enc.com)
In this episode, we talk 'Trilogy Complex': in a modern film world where most get ranked, best-to-worst, as 2-1-3 or 1-2-3... what makes a 3-2-1? Does Wick 3 do it? (spoiler: probs-a-bly yes maaaaaybe) In that, another question - especially for action movies: Does escalating the stakes for each film run the risk of the main hitting a 'God Complex', and stakes start to feel less exciting? Also, what does it take for world building to rise into mythos? When even the smallest characters have huge potential to spin-off into stories of their own, and better yet - have fans want that to happen? Aaaand stay tuned to the end for rules on the worst possible drinking game you can play involving a John Wick film. We try to advocate non-spoiler rights & keep the divulging as mild as we could make it. Done off-the-cuff while eating breakfast. '- Hello? Hello?'
