Trailer Made

It's been one day – fine, business day – since the highly anticipated teaser trailer for 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker' dropped, and from the title reveal alone, there's a lot to chew on here. We dive right in to discuss the opening scene of the trailer; the apparent course corrections J.J. Abrams is making now that he has retaken creative reigns; the Emperor's laugh; and yes, what our thoughts are on that newly unveiled title, 'The Rise of Skywalker'. Let's talk 'Star Wars', y'all.

It’s time we talk about Will Smith’s genie in the upcoming live-action remake of ‘Aladdin’, as shown in the movie’s latest teaser as well as the full-length trailer. But that’s not all we talk about this episode. We review three exciting trailers for movies that recently premiered at South By Southwest — ‘Booksmart’, ‘Good Boys’ and ‘The Art of Self-Defense’. We also discuss the epic super teaser for Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman', which made a surprising debut on the Oscars telecast. You know what we don’t talk about in this episode? Marvel. (Sorry, Marvel fans.)

It's our annual Trailer Made Oscar special! AJ and Jim each present their own list of this year's Best Pictures nominees ranked by – what else? – their trailers. We'll also compare each movie with its respective trailer and decide on which is better — the trailer or the movie. Plus, some cool trailer news.

We compare the trailers for two buddy cop movies, 'Hobbs & Shaw' and 'Shaft'. Then we throw a spotlight on the trailer for 'Apollo 11', an upcoming documentary that looks astonishing. We also discuss the 'Child's Play' remake, which has a good cast but not such a good spin on Chucky's origin story. And fulfilling a request from AJ's mom, we review the trailer for Gina Rodriguez's action movie, 'Miss Bala'. Finally, we dissect the Super Bowl spot for 'Avengers: Endgame' (which isn't a trailer, but it's our show and we do what we want). This episode is sponsored by our friend, Greg.  

We were spoiled with the amount of trailer hotness that recently dropped! We discuss the super teasers for 'Ghostbusters 3', 'Game of Thrones' and 'Space Force'. We get into some action franchise big hitters like 'Spiderman: Far From Home' and 'John Wick 3'. We then get indie with 'The Beach Bum' and 'High Life', and are very confused by 'Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile'. There's something for everybody in this episode. Boom!

We're back! And we missed you. Now there's a lot to catch up on, so let's do this. We revisit some of the biggest movie trailers that dropped in the last few months, like 'Pokémon Detective Pikachu', 'The Lion King', 'Men in Black: International', 'Avengers: Endgame', and last but certainly not least, Jordan Peele's 'Us'. We end the episode with discussing our favorite trailers from 2018. It's good to be back.
