Magnificent Andersons 1: Don't Say The T Word (Twee)
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
Episode 9: ODD PODD CLASSIC - The China Syndrome (feat. Eli Olsberg)
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.

Episode 7: ODD PODD CLASSIC - A New Leaf
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
Episode 6: Ishtar (feat. Sean O'Connor)
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.

Episode 5: Bell, Book, & Candle w/ Alex Firer
Alex Firer (OniPress’s Rick & Morty Comics, The Onion) joins Trevor & Valerie to talk about Bell Book and Candle, Rick & Morty, Ernie Kovacs, Art Carney, the candy bar Alex eats through the episode, and Trevor & Valerie discuss making an email for the podcast. This was supposed to be the Halloween ep but I (Valerie) was moving & things got delayed.

ODD PODD CLASSIC - Missing (feat. Chris & Kurt)
We're unlocking the vault once again to bring you this classic LEMMON PARTY episode about one of our all-time favorite Jack Lemmon bangers. You can find the rest of LEMMON PARTY and much more over at patreon.com/oddpodd
-----
You know what it is, folks. Our buddies Kurt and Chris are back. You know 'em, you love 'em, and we're talking to 'em about motherfucking MISSING (1982) directed by Costa-Gavras. This movie is so good and you really should watch it before you listen to this. In fact, you should just watch it whether you listen to this or not! I don't actually care at all if you listen to the damn podcast, I just really think you should watch MISSING!
ODD PODD CLASSIC - The Odd Couple (feat. Will Sloan)
Due to technical issues delaying the release of episode 3, we're re-issuing this vintage episode of Odd Podd precursor MATTHAU MAY from all the way back in 2021 for your listening pleasure. This episode was previously only available on Patreon, and there's lots more where that came from (Patreon) so check us out at patreon.com/oddpodd
-----
MATTHAU MAY bleeds over into June with our final, slightly late episode, featuring very special guest Will Sloan! We talk about the Walter Matthau/Jack Lemmon classic THE ODD COUPLE, as well as the long-gap sequel THE ODD COUPLE II, the recent Matthew Perry sitcom remake, various Dan Aykroyd vehicles, and much more!
Episode 2: The Couch Trip (feat. Hit Factory)
The wait is over: the highly anticipated second episode of THE ODD PODD is finally here! This time we're joined by our good friends Aaron Casias and Carlee Gomes, the hosts of HIT FACTORY, and we're breaking down THE COUCH TRIP, a movie you've probably never heard of unless you listened to our MATTHAU MAY episode from last year about CHARADE, also featuring Aaron and Carlee, in which Val brought this movie up and told us all about it for some reason, which is I guess the reason we did this episode now.
To hear that episode as well as the rest of MATTHAU MAY and LEMMON PARTY and all kinds of other crap too, get your ass over to https://patreon.com/oddpodd, and hey, while you're at it, why don't you swing by https://www.patreon.com/hitfactorypod and support Aar and Car, or at least give those crazy kids a follow at https://twitter.com/HitFactoryPod and https://twitter.com/deepimpactcrier

That's it, the episode description is over now, thank God! Writing these things is a real pain in my ass!
Episode 1: The Fortune Cookie
Welcome to THE ODD PODD with Val and Trev, the first and only podcast about our two favorite actors of the mid-to-late 20th century as far as we know. If you're aware of any other Lemmon/Matthau podcasts, please don't tell us about it, just trust us that ours is the only one that matters and those other ones are fucking garbage!! Fittingly for our first episode we watched THE FORTUNE COOKIE, the first movie in all of history to feature the soon-to-be legendary screen duo together.
Stop by https://www.patreon.com/oddpodd for the full archives of MATTHAU MAY and LEMMON PARTY as well as Trevor's previous beloved podcast WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN and tons of other old stuff, and stick around a while for new exclusive ODD PODD premium episodes and probably even more bonus stuff besides!
Our theme music was crafted by the musical virtuoso ORPHILLIUS, whose work you can further explore at https://orphillius.bandcamp.com or https://soundcloud.com/orphillius or perhaps even https://twitter.com/orphillius if you're so inclined!
Forthcoming episodes will have guests and they will be good.
