Trailer Teardowns

Slashing into the Horror-Comedy (Horromedy?) genre with HEART EYES, listen to Angel's red herring suspect prediction and follow Evan's confusion in the chronology of the trailer moments, bookended by Evan's most awkward moment yet.

Director's Cut:
Angel incorrectly alluded that Under Siege took place on a submarine, when it was actually a battleship.
Holy hell, Valentine's Day has an insane cast - we might have to watch it now.
Since recording the podcast, Evan has watched the Happy Death Day trailer and will likely stream it in the near future.

When Unicorns attack! Evan strikes again with his Greek references while breaking down the mise-en-scène in the A24 trailer for DEATH OF A UNICORN. Angel thinks we've seen this Paul Rudd before. Could this be A24's most "mainstreamy" movie yet?

*Angel was 4 years off on Unicorn Store's release date...guess he isn't as good with release dates as he thought.

Our most diverse genre-bending episode yet? An Action + Medical / Science + Cooking Episode! Listen as we dive deep into another Jack Quaid trailer: NOVOCAINE, a new action comedy from Paramount Pictures opening on March 14th.

A supersized episode for a super teaser: It's James Gunn's SUPERMAN, the newest reboot of the DC OG superhero staple. We're joined by self-proclaimed Superman obsessor, and very special guest, Patrick Cohen who educates us on the "D level superheroes," while Angel has none of Evan's MoviePass nonsense, and Evan switches Jor-El and Kal-El's name without missing a beat.

This week we're tearing down SINNERS, a new original movie that features twin Michael B. Jordans, Ryan Coogler behind the camera and script, and (maybe) vampires? Evan misses the obvious, Angel guesses at time periods, and we nitpick individual frames of the trailer. We are more than intrigued, what about you?

Join us as Evan pulls out his Greek philosophy references as we break down the teaser trailer for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING starring Tom Cruise, Running Tom Cruise, Shirtless Tom Cruise, and Holding Onto A Plane Upside Down Tom Cruise. The much-anticipated film opens in May 2025.
