Show Notes

The man. The myth. The titular rebel.

Logan & Andy team up with the IFJA’s latest oil tycoon Brent Leuthold (Awake in the Dark) as they discuss THE JAMES DEAN TRILOGY. Facing struggles against fate, unhinged high school gangs, and the corruptive nature of wealth, the trio strap in for tonight’s “chickie run” as they look at the only films the iconic Hoosier starred in: 1955’s East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause and 1956’s Giant.

What does Dean’s three-film legacy look like 70 years later? How did he stand out amongst his contemporaries? And were teenagers in the ’50s really that violent?? Find out on this iconic new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
