Gobbledygeek Episode 519 "Geek Challenge: 3 Women vs. Three Amigos!" is available for listening or download right here, on Spotify, or on Apple Podcasts.

We’re seeing triple on a new Geek Challenge featuring a duet of trios: first we’ve got John Landis’ notorious flop Three Amigos from 1986, then Robert Altman’s dreamy art film 3 Women from 1977. Paul and Arlo debate whether or not Three Amigos deserves its reputation, puzzle over the inscrutability of 3 Women, and compare the two films’ respective turns into surrealism. Plus, Arlo’s back in the Cage with a series of ‘90s action classics.

NEXT: three, two, one…who knows?
