The Chiefs may be on their way to Disneyland, but we’re going to the movies. The Super Bowl is, of course, famous for its high-powered ads, and this year was no exception, with several new movie trailers airing during the live broadcast. Can Deadpool save the MCU? Are we entering the era of unsolicited 90s reboots? And should Jen binge all of the Planet of the Apes movies? In this episode of The Long Take Review, P.T. and I share our thoughts on all the newest and most noteworthy trailers.

While Las Vegas readied for the big game, Hollywood celebrated the best directors of the year at an un-televised awards ceremony for the Director’s Guild of America (DGA). Before we dive into the Super Bowl ads, we discuss the DGA winners and speculate as to how they might impact the Oscar race.
