On the two hundred and ninety-ninth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are multiplying personalities.

Christian and Jericho continue their Auteurography series on the films of Brian De Palma with reviews of 1990's notorious commercial/critical bomb, THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, and 1992's psychological dream thriller, RAISING CAIN.

They also discuss unorthodox casting, critical consensus, dream logic, and De Palma intentionally fucking with the audience.

On the two hundred and ninety-eighth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are in their dialectical materialism era.

Christian, Jericho, and Armando unionize to discuss Boots Riley's wacky capitalism satire, I LOVE BOOSTERS, and pair it with the more subdued 1978 Paul Schrader working class drama, BLUE COLLAR. In the Recently Watched Segment, Jericho runs down a slate of Henry Jaglom films, Armando mentions BACKROOMS and THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD (2022), and Christian rounds things off with his remaining Park Chan-wook blindspots.

They also chat about which actor is the most likely to be memed from THE ODYSSEY, tease ideas for the upcoming 300th episode, reveal their "quirk-o-meter" tolerances, and wonder whether there's any chance at making a difference from within a corrupt system.

On the two hundred and ninety-seventh episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew wants to believe.

Christian and Jericho disclose their spoiler-filled thoughts on Steven Spielberg's latest return to the sci-fi alien genre, DISCLOSURE DAY, and pair it with David Cronenberg's 2025 cautionary tale about the limits of technology vs. human emotion, THE SHROUDS.

They also chat about Spike Lee in relation to the New York Knicks championship, late career summations, hacky screenwriting, the power of empathy, and morbid Canadian humor.
