Episode 97: Frankenheimer's Paranoia Trilogy (with Matt Hurt)
Logan and Andy return to the realm of cinematic paranoia. Conspiracies, tension, and espionage abound in JOHN FRANKENHEIMER’S PARANOIA TRILOGY! With help from Frankenheimer fan and Odd Trilogies alum Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer), the boys look at iconic director John Frankenheimer’s triadic analysis of the paranoia and social anxieties of his day.
