Show Notes

Unlikely twins, a hard-boiled teacher, and… pregnant Ah-nold?!?! Sounds perfect for us! Logan & Andy prepare for true hijinks as they tackle a trilogy fueled by action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman. It’s the SCHWARZENEGGER-REITMAN COMEDY TRILOGY! With support from honorary Odd Trilogies triplet Sam Watermeier (Midwest Film Journal), the boys take a cross-country road trip to discuss 1988’s Twins, 1990’s Kindergerten Cop, and 1994’s Junior.

How does Arnold fare in a comedy? How does Reitman use Arnold’s skills in each film? How gracefully does a 90s comedy handle the concept of a male action superstar getting pregnant? Find out on this gut-busting new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
