The Third Act Podcast
Summary: THE THIRD ACT PODCAST is what happens when three film nerds get together in the wee hours of the night inside a cold garage and launch into movie-related discussions and reviews. A true “lo-fi” podcast with a no-string budget, THE THIRD ACT is dedicated to highlighting the third act of movies, which could either make or break the cinematic experience. So cozy up with your favorite glass of cheap wine and enjoy Christian, Armando, and Jericho’s long-winded forays into all things film!

For this bonus episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew is standing on the shoulders of Soderbergh. While Armando is still away, Christian and Jericho catch up on some blindspots from Soderbergh's filmography before checking out his latest vehicle. After briefly mentioning our recent experience with some of Soderbergh's films we take a deep dive on his debut SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE and James Spader's performance. Rounding out the show we discuss LOGAN LUCKY and the unique ways Soderbergh used to make this film. Does Soderbergh's coming out of retirement film land with a whimper or a (Joe) bang?

On the one hundred and third episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew is wearing nothing but bedsheets. We just returned from hiatus and we've already lost one of our members, so we enlist podcast veteran Robert Gassaway to join us to talk about a couple of very differ horror-adjacent indie films. Our first new film review is for the experimental gross out comedy, KUSO. We then dig into a Mike Leigh classic about working class British families called All or Nothing. Finally, we dig into the polarizing grief meditation film, A GHOST STORY. We also discuss Tim Heidecker in a toilet, butthole cockroaches, and anuses found in nature (actually that was all in just one of the movies).
