Show Notes

Humanity, technology, and the dangers that society finds itself facing when both evolve side-by-side — could a trilogy meaningfully explore all this with no characters or dialogue? Indeed, THE QATSI TRILOGY sets out to do just that! Logan and Andy prepare for a collaborative trilogy that reshapes how they look at the medium of filmmaking.

Led by director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass, the boys lock in as they discuss 1982’s Koyaanisqatsi, 1988’s Powaqqatsi, and 2002’s Naqoyqatsi. How do Reggio’s thoughts on humanity’s relationship with technology change over two decades? How does each film tackle the conversation through image and music alone? How does Philip Glass’ score shape the experience? Find out on this eye-opening new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
