122 - The Oldest A Human Has Lived?!

TRAILER PARK! 

‘The Boys in the Band’ - Our first trailer off the park this week is another Netflix special! Set in New York in the year 1968, a group of outlandish and flamboyant gay men gathers together to celebrate a birthday! They have cake, decorations, several drinks, and chain smoke the house down as they reminisce and share stories of their journeys. Clearly quite a few of them have former love connections together as the tension builds throughout, leading to what I can only describe as ‘the adult gay mans party game equivalent to a teenagers sleepover prank calling the game’. Each man takes turns calling the one person they have truly loved in the past. Whilst sounding silly, the film actually looks like a tense and dramatic event that seems to lead to a gripping finale. Potentially. Coming to Netflix 30th of September. 

‘The Glorias’ - Our second trailer this week is one that screams ‘Totally Not Made for Mitchell and Dylan’!! ‘The Glorias’ is a semi-autobiographical film based on the life of world-renowned women's activist and feminist, Gloria Steinem. Telling the story of her fighting for women’s rights and equality among peers, she blazed a trail unlike any other and influenced so many women through time to stand up and make a move. Julianne Moore plays the titular character based on the autobiography written by Steinem. I honestly don’t know what Moore to say except it’s coming to Amazon Prime, September 30th! 

‘Possessor’ - Well holy shit. What an unexpected mind fuck of a treat this was! The trailer for the upcoming film Possessor tells of a seemingly gripping sci-fi thriller film centered around a futuristic style of ‘Hitmen’. We find a run of the mill average woman,  played by ‘Andrea Riseborough’, as she works for a company tasked with carrying out hits on victims. But the way this is done is by entering a random civilian's mind and controlling their body. Basically making the person who’s body and mind they overtake the killer and leaving the real killer, who’s back in a lab under a mask, free. When she is assigned the biggest hit yet, for some reason she cannot pull the trigger, thus setting off a chain of events leading to the man whose body she tried to control coming to try and hunt her down. Seriously, watch this trailer. Coming to theatres the 9th of October. 

‘The Comeback Trail’ - Trailer number 4 this week screams major potential as we see the likes of Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman, Zach Braff, and Emile Hirsch all-star in this hilarious dark comedy! Set in 1974, Braff and De Niro lead the way as they star as producers in Hollywood who have gotten in deep with the Mob (led by Freeman) and they owe them quite a bit of money. As they struggle to come up with ways to pay back the debt they concoct a plan: beginning filming a movie, have a big insurance policy on the main star, and then ‘accidentally’ kill him in a stunt and collect the insurance money. Genius! Enter Tommy Lee Jones as the lead star in a western they're shooting. The only issue is, Tommy Lee Jones is a hard mother fucker to kill! Looks like we could be in for a riot of a good time! Coming to theatres 13th of November! 

‘Shithouse’ - Trailer Park was created with the express purpose of being able to review big Hollywood blockbuster trailers that everyone knows about and also to bring to light the lesser-known trailers from up and coming writers/directors trying to stake their claim on the industry. This week's‘ film festival favorite’ comes to us in the form of ‘Shithouse’! The story follows a freshman in college who is homesick and not having the college experience he had imagined. One night while crashing on a couch in the dorms, he comes across a sophomore who also seems to be isolated like he is. Together they hang out, share personal stuff and spend the night lustfully lusting over each other. Confused with what the night meant to each other, the journey follows the
