FH Mini 79 - Trailer Time in Teasertown

[0:00] Okay, I'm running this, okay, I'm gonna kill it.

[0:03] Hey, it's me, Stuart Wellington on the Flophouse podcast and welcome to another Flophouse mini.

[0:13] That's a mini episode of the Flophouse podcast where instead of watching a movie and talking

[0:17] about it, we're just gonna do whatever we want.

[0:20] Joining me are my co-hosts as always and they will introduce themselves as Dan McCoy.

[0:26] And I'm Elliot Kalin.

[0:27] I'm sorry.

[0:29] Perfect.

[0:30] Yeah, I'm sorry.

[0:31] I was thrown by...

[0:32] You said you were gonna kill it.

[0:33] Then as soon as you started talking, your voice broke like the teen in The Simpsons.

[0:39] That's great.

[0:40] That's painting a picture for everyone at home as to what I look like in real life.

[0:45] Is that what I said?

[0:47] Now, normally you think you're tuning in and you think that you are gonna be in the Flophouse,

[0:52] but in fact, you're not in the Flophouse today, baby.

[0:55] You're in Teaser Town.

[0:56] Teaser Town is the place where we talk about trailers and that means it's trailer time

[1:01] in Teaser Town.

[1:03] Stuart, I just moved.

[1:05] Now you're telling me I live in Teaser Town.

[1:07] It's so stressful.

[1:09] I know.

[1:10] Well, did you save the bins that you rented to pack up all your stuff?

[1:14] Yeah.

[1:15] Speaking of that, that was a big topic of conversation at our live show recently.

[1:19] Wait a minute.

[1:20] Are we doing a teaser in the middle of Teaser Town?

[1:22] I think that's a perfect time for trailers.

[1:25] This is Teaser Town in trailer time in Teaser Town.

[1:28] Yeah.

[1:29] Toilet time in Tiny Town.

[1:32] Dan, don't get distracted.

[1:34] Don't get distracted by other words that start with T. Do what you're supposed to do.

[1:39] We did a Battlefield Earth live show and we had it filmed and we streamed it for people

[1:44] and it was a whole lot of fun.

[1:47] I really enjoyed sitting there and watching and chatting with people and watching the

[1:52] show that we were in and remembering what we said because I forget it almost immediately

[1:58] and getting to see reactions in real time.

[2:00] Like I said to Audrey, it's kind of like the non-depressing equivalent of being at your

[2:06] own funeral.

[2:07] Like you get to see nice things that people are saying.

[2:10] Anyway, it was fun to be in the audience is what I'm saying.

[2:15] And our audience still has the opportunity to sit in that audience, right?

[2:18] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[2:19] If you want to see it, it's not done just because we were like pushing the premiere

[2:24] when we were going to be in the chat.

[2:25] It is available VOD, that's video on demand or in this case streaming website file on

[2:32] demand at Flophousepodcast.com slash stream Flophousepodcast.com slash stream is where

[2:43] you can go take a look at that if you want.

[2:45] And I wanted to say, you know, let us know what you thought of it.

[2:49] Like we were really happy with the way it was shot and turned out.

[2:53] But I would love to hear if you guys have thoughts on whether you liked it, what we

[2:58] should do more like the these shows, live shows filmed, if you had any thoughts about

[3:04] the content.

[3:05] I don't know.

[3:06] Feedback.

[3:07] It's fun.

[3:08] Yeah, that's Flophousepodcast.com slash stream to buy tickets to see the video.

[3:12] And you know what's on that page is a trailer for the show itself.

[3:17] Uh-huh.

[3:18] Yep.

[3:19] That's right.

[3:20] Because it's trailer time in TeaserTown.

[3:21] And also, if you follow that link, you have access to buying some exclusive merch.

[3:27] That's really cool.

[3:28] But it's also merch month in TeaserTown also.

[3:33] Yeah.

[3:34] Merch Madness.

[3:35] Uh-huh.

[3:36] Merch Madness.

[3:37] Not during March.

[3:38] In TeaserTown.

[3:39] It's very confusing for people.

[3:40] Now let's get back to trailer time.

[3:41] Oh, sorry.

[3:42] Merch Madness in April.

[3:43] Oh, yeah.

[3:44] So trailer time in TeaserTown.

[3:45] Yeah.

[3:46] So TeaserTown.

[3:47] It feels like trailer time starts earlier and earlier every year here in TeaserTown.

[3:50] Exactly.

[3:51] And one of the reasons why we're doing a trailer time in TeaserTown is because we're about

[3:57] to record our full-length episode that's going to come out next week.

[4:02] And we actually did a Flophouse in the aisles, which means we went to a movie theater to

[4:07] watch the movie.

[4:09] So that's a movie that's currently playing in theaters.

[4:12] And what plays before movies when you're in a movie theater, guys?

[4:16] Teasers.

[4:17] It's trailer time.

[4:18] So we watched a series of, Dan and I went to, Dan and I, just to paint a little picture,

[4:24] Dan and I went to the Alamo Drafthouse in Staten Island.

[4:28] I drove us there.

[4:31] And it was a lovely experience.

[4:32] I was a little disappointed, I have to say, that the menu options weren't all gabagool

[4:36] and spaghetti plates.

[4:38] That's a harmful stereotype.

[4:42] People in Staten Island like delicious food.

[4:44] Yeah, yeah.

[4:45] Yeah, I couldn't get a rice ball with my movie, but that's, you know, that's neither here

[4:48] nor there.

[4:49] What about fried zucchini?

[4:50] Did they have any fried zucchini?

[4:53] No, they didn't have fried, they had fried pickles, which is basically the same thing.

[4:57] Right, Dan?

[4:58] Sure.

[4:59] It's the same genus.

[5:00] Zucchini is kind of a Gentile pickle.

[5:04] Yeah, sure.

[5:05] Yeah, yeah.

[5:06] Okay, so a number of trailers played before it.

[5:11] And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go down the different trailers that played.

[5:14] Eventually, we'll ask Elliot what trailers played before his screening.

[5:17] Maybe there's some crossover, maybe not.

[5:19] We'll find out.

[5:20] Yeah.

[5:21] And after I bring up each trailer, we're all going to come down on a rating.

[5:26] And the rating is, we gotta see it, I'll wait for reviews, or I'll only watch that

[5:34] for the flop house.

[5:36] Okay?

[5:37] So those are your three options.

[5:39] Sounds good.

[5:40] Does that make sense?

[5:41] Yeah.

[5:42] Super clear?

[5:43] For the record, since you mentioned your theater, I just want to make sure people know, I went

[5:44] to the Regal UA Theater in La Canyada, California.

[5:49] So in the La Crescenta Montrose area.

[5:52] Now did that movie theater have spaghetti?

[5:55] It did not have spaghetti.

[5:56] And you know what it didn't have?

[5:57] I was having a not great day.

[5:58] I was having a pretty bad day that day, and I said, I'm going to see this movie.

[6:01] I want a big jumbo-sized, king-sized Kit Kat.

[6:04] That's what I'm going to have.

[6:05] They didn't have it.

[6:06] Wow.

[6:07] Very disappointing.

[6:08] Their snack bar was woefully understocked with the kinds of candy I like to eat.

[6:11] Which is just what a giant Kit Kat bar would look like.

[6:14] Like a big Kit Kat, yeah.

[6:15] Did you have a second?

[6:16] Did you have a backup option?

[6:17] I would have settled for a Nestle Crunch.

[6:18] I wanted something that combined chocolate and crunch, and they just didn't have it.

[6:21] What if they had like a giant Crackle Bar?

[6:23] A thing that you normally only get in tiny forms.

[6:25] I've only ever seen it in fun size.

[6:27] I'd be like, Santa Maria, the legends are true.

[6:30] Yeah, you'd try to figure out if you crossed into the fringe universe or something.

[6:35] Yeah, I'd have to write up that citing for science, or nature, the academic journal.

[6:41] Yep.

[6:42] So, the first trailer that played before our screening, Dan, you can obviously correct

[6:46] me if I'm wrong, is going to be the recently released trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy

[6:50] 3.

[6:51] Ah, yes, yes, yes.

[6:52] That was.

[6:53] Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

[6:55] Now this is a perfect opportunity if you at home want to know what we're talking about.

[6:58] You can actually go over to YouTube and look up the most recent trailer for Guardians of

[7:05] the Galaxy 3.

[7:06] Now, Dan, how do you feel about this trailer?

[7:10] Okay.

[7:11] Well, I mean, this is complex because like, I think the trailer is good as far as it goes.

[7:20] I mean, like I assume that this third film from everything I hear about it is going to

[7:26] be, it'll probably feature the same characters as the other movies.

[7:29] Yeah, yeah.

[7:30] I feel like that's safe.

[7:31] That's a safe guess.

[7:32] It seems like it's headed in a, you know, sad direction of some kind to send off these

[7:39] characters since people have said, you know, like, this is the last time we're going to

[7:43] see this configuration of this team in a movie.

[7:48] What people said that?

[7:50] The trades?

[7:51] Internet stories.

[7:52] The trades.

[7:53] Yeah, the trades.

[7:54] Let's call it the trades.

[7:56] But like, I do feel like they're hitting it kind of hard.

[7:59] The sadness.

[8:00] Like, it's not, it doesn't, like, I'm going to see this movie regardless of the rating

[8:06] of the trailer.

[8:07] Like, these are my guys.

[8:09] Like, these are my favorite of the MCU.

[8:12] So, yeah, looking forward.

[8:14] You got to see it.

[8:15] But I am kind of also like, why are they selling so hard?

[8:19] How like dour and presumably.

[8:22] I think people are watching the trailer and they're like another superhero movie.

[8:26] Oh, wait, this one's going to be sad.

[8:28] I can't wait.

[8:29] Yeah.

[8:30] That's not particularly what I enjoy about Guardians of the Galaxy.

[8:34] And I assume it will only get sad eventually.

[8:37] Like, there'll be plenty of the hygiene.

[8:39] It's not.

[8:40] Yeah, it's not.

[8:41] What you liked most from Guardians of the Galaxy is the dourness.

[8:44] The dour.

[8:45] Yeah, exactly.

[8:46] Tear filled eyes.

[8:47] Yeah.

[8:48] Yeah.

[8:49] The trailer does promise a little bit of sadness.

[8:51] There's a lot of like quick cuts of Star-Lord crying.

[8:54] And I'm like, oh, what do you find out some weird thing about?

[8:58] I was about to make a Chris Pratt joke, but I can't come up with specifics.

[9:01] Yeah.

[9:02] He's ironed out his image so much.

[9:04] He found out about his own religious views.

[9:08] So here's the thing.

[9:09] I'll tell you what.

[9:10] Have you seen this trailer, Ellie?

[9:11] Real quick.

[9:12] I have seen this trailer.

[9:13] And here's the thing.

[9:14] I don't want tears.

[9:15] I want Adam Warlock.

[9:17] And I am not getting enough Adam Warlock in this trailer.

[9:19] I don't know if there's any Adam Warlock in this new trailer.

[9:21] I think there's like a clip.

[9:22] There's like a little.

[9:23] You see him like walk for a second or something like that.

[9:26] But it makes me feel like this is not going to be the Warlock extravaganza that I was

[9:30] hoping it would be.

[9:31] Yeah, it's not.

[9:32] I mean, it looks a little psychedelic.

[9:34] That's what Adam Warlock is all about.

[9:35] Can I recommend the film Warlock if you want a Warlock extravaganza?

[9:39] No, no, Dan.

[9:40] I don't want a Warlock.

[9:41] I want Adam Warlock.

[9:42] Oh, Julian Sands would have been a pretty good Adam Warlock.

[9:46] He would have.

[9:47] When he was younger, he would have been an amazing Adam Warlock.

[9:49] That's true.

[9:50] Oh, man.

[9:51] But I will say the it's weird that it feels like James Gunn.

[9:54] He made this last Guardians of the Galaxy like he did all of them.

[9:56] And then he jumped to D.C. and it almost feels like.

[10:00] He had to make it as DC a looking movie as possible before he went to DC.

[10:03] Like, from the trailer, it looks more, almost more Zack Snyder-y than James Gunn-y.

[10:08] I'm sure that's just the trailer, but, I don't know.

[10:10] Well, that's the other thing, like, I feel like as the series went on,

[10:15] like, the MCU movies started getting, like, a codified look,

[10:19] and now they all look sort of washed out and gray

[10:22] because they don't have enough time to, like, color grade everything.

[10:26] They're literally photocopying the movie at the last minute

[10:29] and sending it to the theater because they didn't give the effects team enough time to finish it, yeah.

[10:32] Yeah, well, and also, like, they want, like, a unified look, I guess, across these films now,

[10:36] but, like, that, you know, the first Guardians was relatively colorful,

[10:40] and now it, yeah, it seems like everyone thinks a fine mist has covered the camera.

[10:45] Well, and one of the things that is a strength of the Marvel movies is that they're colorful,

[10:48] that the characters are not all covered in gray ash constantly.

[10:52] Like, in that first Avengers movie, those characters,

[10:55] that famous spinning moment where we were amazed to see five superheroes on screen at once,

[10:59] they pop because it's, the world is gray because it's skyscrapers and rubble,

[11:03] but their costumes are, like, blue, red, green, like, they should look colorful.

[11:08] All the colors.

[11:09] All the colors.

[11:09] Like, 90s, the Fox X-Men movies where, like,

[11:14] they immediately just put them all in black leather outfits.

[11:16] Yes, where whenever they bring the X-Men into the Disney world, like,

[11:20] I want them to be wearing, I want Wolverine to be wearing a bright yellow and blue costume, like, do it.

[11:24] As bright as possible, yeah.

[11:25] Super bright.

[11:26] Like, he wouldn't be able to sneak around stealth-wise.

[11:28] That's how good he is.

[11:29] He's like Harrison Bergeron.

[11:31] He's got to wear a bright yellow costume just to make it fair to the rest of the world.

[11:34] Thank you.

[11:35] Because he's so good at sneaking.

[11:36] Look, his idea of hunting is you just, you kind of sneak up to a skittish doe in an open field

[11:41] and just be able to touch it with your finger because it doesn't even notice you there until

[11:45] the last minute, you know.

[11:46] I can see Mark Silvestri drawing that exchange, Elliot.

[11:49] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[11:51] Okay.

[11:51] So Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm going to give it a, oh wait, what were the ratings again?

[11:56] I gotta see it.

[11:57] I'll wait for reviews or only for the flop house.

[12:01] I mean, I'll probably see it, right?

[12:02] Okay.

[12:03] It's got Adam Warlock in it.

[12:05] But that's not necessarily based on the trailer.

[12:08] No, based on the trailer, I would give it the same way that I was very,

[12:11] I was really looking forward to Quantumania.

[12:13] And then based on the trailer, I ended up giving that a pass.

[12:16] And I'll see it later because I was like, what do I want from my Ant-Man movies?

[12:20] I don't want him to be running around while a CGI spaceship shoots lasers at him.

[12:24] Like, I want to see him do like shrinking and growing.

[12:27] What do I want from Kang?

[12:28] I want time travel.

[12:29] I don't want like some kind of alien, you know, sludge world, you know, anyway.

[12:33] So that's just based on the trailer.

[12:36] But oddly, the movie Alien Sludge World sounds like a great movie.

[12:40] Yeah.

[12:41] What do I want from the movie Alien?

[12:42] I want an alien sludge world.

[12:44] Yeah.

[12:45] Guys, I'm with you on this one.

[12:47] I gotta see it.

[12:47] But again, it's probably based more on the pedigree of the previous films as opposed

[12:53] to the trailer itself.

[12:54] Yes.

[12:54] Okay.

[12:55] So the next one we saw was the trailer for Strays, a what looks like a sex comedy,

[13:01] but starring a bunch of dogs with CGI animated mouths that are spitting out the voices of

[13:06] celebrity actors.

[13:08] That did play when I was in the theater beforehand.

[13:10] And the whole time I was like, I had sworn between two feelings.

[13:12] One, I work on a TV show about talking animals.

[13:15] And it felt like they did featuring some of the same voice, featuring some of the same

[13:19] cast.

[13:20] And so it was like, what the hell is this?

[13:24] But the other feeling was like, this is one of several trailers I saw before the movie

[13:29] where I was like, is this a real movie?

[13:31] Or is this like a sketch movie?

[13:32] Like, is this a fake trailer that's appearing in a movie?

[13:38] Like, it felt like I was watching one of the fake trailers before Tropic Thunder, you know?

[13:42] Well, that's one of the, that is something that Elliot texted us before, you know, you

[13:48] said this thing about how like, oh, I saw a bunch of trailers that felt like there are

[13:51] fake movies.

[13:53] And then when Strays came up, I leaned over to Stuart and I'm like, I bet this is one

[13:57] of the movies Elliot was talking about.

[13:59] Also, because it looks like when you shoot a fake trailer for a sketch movie, you often

[14:05] don't have access to a lot of locations.

[14:07] So it looks like the same three scenes are kind of just edited together.

[14:10] And it never really looks like a real movie.

[14:12] And the Strays trailer kind of looks like that.

[14:14] Like, it kind of looks like it takes place in like four locations.

[14:17] And it's just animals, dogs talking on the same street corners.

[14:21] So I was like, is this a whole movie?

[14:22] Like, is there enough movie here?

[14:25] We'll find out when we go see Strays.

[14:27] It feels, is it made by the same people who made Good Boys?

[14:31] Did you guys see that one?

[14:33] I saw that.

[14:34] Because that was the energy I got from the trailer.

[14:37] I ended up liking that movie quite a bit more than I expected.

[14:40] I mean, there might be there might be funny jokes in this.

[14:43] Also, did you guys see all the trailers I saw must have been like the red band adults

[14:47] only trailers because there's a ton of swearing.

[14:49] Like full on dicks hanging out.

[14:52] It was insertion.

[14:53] I'd never seen that in a trailer before.

[14:58] So maybe it'll turn out to be funny.

[14:59] But it was like, it felt very, it just didn't feel like a real movie.

[15:05] I have to admit, I mean, like, I don't know.

[15:08] I can't tip my rating beforehand.

[15:11] I like but.

[15:12] Yeah, keep the audience in suspense.

[15:13] No spoilers.

[15:15] I wouldn't say that I was like convinced by the trailer.

[15:17] But I will say that, like, at the beginning of the trailer, I was like, what the hell

[15:21] is this?

[15:22] And then by the end, I was like, oh, you kind of got me a couple of times.

[15:27] I kind of felt the same way.

[15:28] There's a spoiler for that trailer, I guess, like if the animals are talking and they're

[15:32] like, yeah, bad.

[15:33] They're like foul mouth animals.

[15:34] And I'm like, all right.

[15:35] And then the hero of the movie goes, I'm going to go back to my owner who abandoned

[15:38] me and I'm going to bite his dick off.

[15:39] And and they're like, that's the mission.

[15:41] That's what we're doing.

[15:42] And there's something about how specific that was.

[15:44] There's like, all right, that's got me a little bit movie.

[15:46] Yeah, yeah.

[15:47] That's just the sort of thing that gets this trailer said to me on Twitter.

[15:54] The promise of penis being forcibly removed.

[15:57] Yeah, yeah.

[15:58] So, I mean, I feel like we all know this.

[16:01] According to Stuart, the basic stories are all man versus man, man versus nature and

[16:05] someone versus a penis.

[16:07] Man versus penis, yeah.

[16:08] Yeah.

[16:09] Yeah, that's I think Shakespeare said that.

[16:11] So I'm going to say I'm going to say I'm going to wait for reviews.

[16:16] I'm not like over the moon.

[16:17] I'm not like dying to see it.

[16:19] Yeah.

[16:20] Yeah, I feel the same way.

[16:21] Yeah.

[16:21] I'm going to wait for reviews.

[16:23] Like the reviews would have to be pretty glowing for me to see in the theater, probably.

[16:27] And Dan sees whatever garbage.

[16:29] I will everything.

[16:30] I see.

[16:32] I mean, if someone invited me to it and it was like at where I've already got the season

[16:38] past, I'm like, well, I should make use of this.

[16:41] Otherwise, Dan will give it as his worst insult.

[16:43] He will watch it on a plane on a plane is where it's probably be watched.

[16:47] I have to say.

[16:48] OK, so the third trailer we got, which everyone can queue up now if they would like, is for

[16:55] the A24 produced horror movie.

[16:58] Talk to me.

[17:00] Talk to me.

[17:01] So check it out, folks.

[17:02] Elliot, did you see this one?

[17:03] What was that one?

[17:04] Because what was strange was so the spoiler of the movie we're doing next week is a horror

[17:08] movie.

[17:09] I was surprised at how almost all the trailers before mine were comedies were like foul mouth

[17:13] comedies.

[17:14] But then there were a couple horrors, but I don't remember what this is about.

[17:17] This is do you remember a papier-mache hand with a bunch of words on it?

[17:23] That is no.

[17:25] Like, yeah, I don't think I saw this one.

[17:27] Do you want to do you want to take a break and watch this trailer real quick?

[17:31] No, I'd rather hear you describe it.

[17:32] OK, OK, so the premise of this is as a as some kind of like a fun party game or like

[17:40] a viral filmed event.

[17:43] These at a party, they this girl holds on to this like papier-mache hand.

[17:50] Yeah, that looks very menacing.

[17:52] And the idea is like holding on to this hand and saying, talk to me will bring a spirit

[17:58] into our world for a short period of time.

[18:00] And then by blowing out the candle that you have lit, it'll send that spirit back.

[18:04] But of course, something bad happens.

[18:07] And yeah, I mean, like, I don't know this.

[18:12] It seems like it's that kind of high concept premise that would normally land a movie into

[18:16] prime flop house Shocktober territory.

[18:19] But it looks but it looks good to me.

[18:24] I mean, so I saw when I saw the movie Renfield, which I did not expect to enjoy.

[18:31] I went because I had the aforementioned Alamo pass and my friend invited me.

[18:36] And then I ended up liking it a lot based on the trailers being bad.

[18:39] Yeah, we're in teaser town.

[18:41] And that's an important part of teaser town.

[18:44] The trailers for that one were they could have gone either way for me.

[18:47] I still haven't seen the movie, but it was like there was enough in it that I liked,

[18:50] but there was enough in it that rubbed me the wrong way.

[18:52] Yeah, yeah.

[18:53] Well, the trailers to me felt like if somebody was trying to make what we do in the shadows,

[18:58] but with some like shitty, like special effects, heavy action sequences.

[19:03] No, I mean, it felt more like sort of an offbeat, like 90s, like morbid romantic comedy vibe,

[19:12] except for there's not that much romance at all.

[19:14] But like, it's got that kind of thing going on, but it was a little weirder than I expected.

[19:19] Anyway, the point is, like, I saw this trailer and the next one we're going to be talking about,

[19:24] but it flipped order.

[19:25] Okay.

[19:25] And maybe it was the lingering after effects of the other trailer, which is also very effective.

[19:31] But I like went into this one.

[19:32] I was like, this looks scary.

[19:34] I'm into it.

[19:34] Like, I really like it had all the elements of what could be like a truth or dare style,

[19:40] like not very good.

[19:42] But it was, you know, it just seemed to be like shot and framed.

[19:47] And there was enough weird imagery that there's enough weird stuff.

[19:50] And later, like, I like the weird, the weird hand.

[19:53] Yeah, I'm a fan of that.

[19:56] So, yeah, I got to say, based on the strength of the trailer,

[19:58] I think this is one I'm going to have to see.

[20:00] Yeah, probably same since I haven't seen the trailer, but based on your summary. I'm gonna wait for reviews, but

[20:07] You heard the reviews of the trailer

[20:11] We're surprisingly positive yeah, yeah next trailer gang as as Dan mentioned this next one is a trailer for the boogeyman

[20:19] So just look up the boogeyman on YouTube. I think it's a trailer from about two months ago

[20:25] Google the boogeyman, and I'm sure you know Google like the boogeyman trailer

[20:32] 2023 or so yeah

[20:33] I don't by the way. I checked all of these I googled all these to make sure that they're available

[20:40] La did you see this one? It sounds familiar. Tell me about it, okay?

[20:44] So the I mean the premise is this father played by Chris Messina with a beard

[20:50] He has a daughter who doesn't like going to sleep because she's got a boogeyman in a room

[20:57] It's a good reason not to go to sleep. Yeah, and I gotta say there's also a teenage. There's a teenage kid

[21:03] I feel like it's more focused on them Chris Messina shows up later

[21:07] But and I think the premise also is that he's not around enough, and that's part of the reason the boogeyman is coming for them

[21:13] Because I don't know maybe Chris Messina's got some other gigs going on who knows maybe he's in Birds of Prey 2

[21:19] The

[21:20] So the I've got some I've got some bad news for you. Oh, no what to pray to

[21:25] What?

[21:32] I'm kind of scanning through this trailer as you talk. I did not see it

[21:35] Also the guy played like speaking of James Gunn the polka dot guy and Suicide Squad

[21:41] Oh shows up at one point to tell Chris Messina that he needs to be paying attention to his kids because

[21:47] He's got like a drawing of the scary man. That's wait David. I can't pronounce his last name

[21:52] Yeah, I couldn't either um and I certainly can't no scope it without it in front of me

[21:57] He yeah, but he's like a big like horror movie guy. I know that he's like a big

[22:02] Yeah, he's a big champion of horror movies, and I've seen him like I think he's been a guest on the Boulay brothers show

[22:09] Yeah, so that would make sense

[22:12] Maybe he's involved in the production of the movie or something

[22:16] According to this trailer. It's from the mind of Stephen King. Oh, right

[22:21] He wrote or just he was asleep, and they stole one of his dreams

[22:25] Question now nobody uses weird slang in the trailer

[22:29] So and there's no classic car. Yeah, and he do want music or otherwise class

[22:34] You know old-timey a rock type stuff or photo right? Oh, I'd have to double check

[22:39] It's based on

[22:42] Okay, it was like maybe Christmas Eve is playing a writer that would make it. Oh, yeah. Yeah working

[22:48] So I feel like read that short story the actual content of the trailer feels felt more

[22:54] I'm just like a series of

[22:56] Things events things I kind of because it's like monster hiding in background like I say that stuff

[23:03] It's so it's it's it's the this is the adaptation of the where's Waldo books that we've been waiting for all this time

[23:08] But over development to turn into a boogeyman movie, you know, it makes sense. I'm gonna say

[23:13] While the trailer seems scary enough, I would say I'm gonna put this one up for

[23:20] I'm gonna wait for reviews

[23:22] Because I think it could kind of go either way. I'm more into it than that

[23:25] I I really liked this trip. I mean could just be the way the trailer was cut

[23:28] It starts off with this sort of gimmick where

[23:32] you know, the woman is the little kid is getting therapy for the this fear and

[23:39] Therapist has this red light that turns on and off and she's like, you know

[23:42] eventually it'll be all the way off and like the idea in therapy one supposes is like you can see that there's no difference between

[23:49] When the light is on when the light is off, but as a suspense element, it was very effective

[23:54] But as a suspense element, it was very effective I thought and creepy and I don't know I just it seemed like

[24:02] you know horror is a director's game and I mean not that other movies aren't and it's not very important, but

[24:09] Musicals that are a hockey players game

[24:12] But I feel like it's so based on you know, managing tone and like a list like

[24:17] It

[24:19] Yeah, it looked good to me. I'll just catch what I'm saying and all but also like

[24:24] sometimes

[24:26] What works for a trailer the editing that works in a trailer might be different in the movie, right?

[24:32] Yes, because for like a longer form horror thing might not work. Well with a ton of rapid cuts. Where isn't it?

[24:39] Teaser, you know here is your town. You might want something a little faster

[24:43] I mean and to be honest

[24:45] you can't really trust that what's in the trailer is going to be in the movie as

[24:48] Was the reason for my lawsuit about Anna de Armas being cut out of that movie?

[24:55] Rogue one

[24:57] Okay, I got clarification that that was not all the lawsuit wasn't one the the the judge just allowed it to

[25:06] Continue, you said

[25:08] I'll allow it. Yeah, exactly

[25:10] Well, that's the first hurdle towards winning but you can't you can't always be sure that the that the trailer and the movie are edited

[25:16] the same way the point

[25:18] So Elliot based on what we've said, where are you gonna land on the boogie?

[25:22] And what little you scared knowing that they stole it from the Midas

[25:26] I'm gonna wait for reviews and also the outcome of the lawsuit Stephen King has with them for stealing from his mind

[25:31] I think what little you guys have said and what little I've seen of the trailer

[25:35] I scrubbed through it feels a little generic to me right now. Okay?

[25:40] Finally, we have one final trailer for us

[25:43] Then we'll get to hear what Elliot got to see our final trailer, of course was spider-man across. Oh, yeah

[25:49] spider-verse the the new

[25:52] animated spider-man film

[25:55] Obviously the first one is like a milestone

[25:58] Amazing achievement. It's a fantastic movie. It's incredibly won the Oscar for Best Animated Film that year

[26:04] Uh-huh. I got I think it got the Academy Award for Best spider-man

[26:08] Which

[26:10] Stiff competition up against spider-man to the second best superhero movie of all time. Yeah, very true

[26:16] What would it say is the best superhero movie of all time?

[26:19] Maybe spider-verse. Yeah, okay

[26:21] The I thought was very funny when people were like whenever the the Best Picture winners are

[26:26] Nominees are announced and they're like, why don't they start nominating the superhero movies the ones people love?

[26:30] Why isn't spider-man get nominated for Best Picture and it's like well spider-man movie won an Oscar like

[26:35] Like this like someone just someone just two men have won for playing the Joker like is that you know

[26:41] What yeah, what more do we need? But anyway, you're saying spider-dudes. What about one fucking flash entered the Speed Force?

[26:47] Yeah, that was the number one. That was stand up and cheer moment. It was amazing

[26:52] I remember so well where I was when I stood up and cheered and I could hear the deafening roar of yes

[26:59] Across the country standing up and cheering all at the same time. It caused a minor earthquake

[27:04] Which unfortunately killed several hundred people in in Western Canada, which was my heart goes out to them

[27:10] But really that moment. Yeah, Wow couldn't couldn't beat it when flash enters the Speed Force

[27:15] I'm not sure. I really remember exactly what it is

[27:18] Man, I kind of wish that like my favorite superhero movie. I mean, I feel like it should be like Blade 2 or something

[27:27] So this I've seen multiple trailers for this

[27:30] Movie since it's a big movie and I got have you seen this trailer yet?

[27:34] Yeah, I don't know that I've seen the most recent one

[27:36] Yeah, I mean, I know I'm gonna see that movie. So I'm kind of staying away from the trailers cuz okay

[27:40] Yeah, the movie

[27:41] this one has

[27:44] It's like Miles's aunt is like sort of talking to him throughout most of it. I thought it was his mom

[27:50] Oh, I see. I don't know that that version of Spider-Man enough

[27:55] Who's alive who's dead who's alive? Yeah

[27:59] So his mom's talking to him and like it's

[28:03] It actually like sort of holds it back

[28:06] Towards until the very end like you don't see a lot of like exciting

[28:11] Yes stuff like a lot of it is

[28:14] Yeah, cuz I know they've got you. They don't need to I know that's the thing like I

[28:19] Trailer should just say spider-man across virus and then does a voice that just says did you see the last movie?

[28:24] Well, that's this one

[28:26] That's that's what I like that I want to see this movie this is one of the most anticipated movies

[28:32] I loved the last one this trailer

[28:35] Specifically didn't do that much for me though. And but like the thing is like honestly

[28:41] but the first spider-man trailer like I

[28:44] I I had to sort of adjust to the to what they were doing

[28:48] I was not wild about the trailer and then I saw the movie. I'm like, oh, this is great

[28:52] So I I faith that it'll be yeah, I mean it looks so it looks great

[28:57] There was used a little bit of footage from the first movie, I think

[29:02] But for the most part, yeah, I mean it looks incredible. It looks there isn't enough like

[29:08] Linking there's not enough information to really know what it's about other than at least for me

[29:14] Other than going into a universe full of little spider-man's of different varieties

[29:21] But it all it all looks great

[29:23] And there's some message about being true to yourself. That's a spider-man thing, right?

[29:27] Yeah, spider-man is always being always needing to be true to himself. That's a big thing. Yeah, and be true to a school

[29:36] Okay, so I mean I think all three of us are definitely gonna see this the strangest trailer maybe

[29:42] It they kind of kind of softball pitch this one to us because they knew it was an easy layup

[29:46] This is a time when the marketing department kind of take a breather they don't have to put their all into it

[29:53] We got to figure out how to how to promote Mordecai to more mustaches. That's the thing

[30:00] Name of the movie, Mordecai 2, more mustaches, question mark.

[30:02] Well, that's that's that's the name of the movie.

[30:04] And their and their yeah, well, their

[30:09] advertising campaign.

[30:11] Yes, sorry.

[30:12] Yep.

[30:12] No, that's correct.

[30:13] Okay.

[30:13] This is actually a really great time for us to take a break and do a little

[32:31] So now that we're back here in teaser town and it's time for some more

[32:34] trailers.

[32:35] It's trailer time Elliot.

[32:37] What teasers did you get before your screening of the movie?

[32:40] So I think Stuart you mentioned I don't know if we had mentioned for the movie

[32:42] that we are talking about the next episode is of course the Pope's exorcist

[32:45] in theaters now, but not for much longer.

[32:47] It might be out of theaters at this point.

[32:50] I had to really rush to find it before it left the theaters and I was like

[32:54] taking the reels away as the movie's going.

[32:57] No, no, they were I had to catch them as they were being hurled into a dumpster

[33:00] out in the back of the theater.

[33:02] So the although maybe it maybe it turns into a great movie find out next week

[33:06] in our episode.

[33:07] So I was surprised they didn't show us that many horror trailers one.

[33:10] They did show us was evil dead rise the the trailer for the new evil dead movie

[33:14] where it's theaters now in theaters.

[33:17] Yeah, I think it's right now and the I'm not it's one that I'm kind of torn

[33:24] about it because there's a lot of neat stuff in the trailer at the same time.

[33:29] I don't know if it's what I want from my evil dead movies exactly,

[33:33] but also it's another one where they're like,

[33:35] hey, let's take this horror thing and put it in like an apartment building in a city

[33:39] and I already went through that with scream 6 where they said,

[33:42] hey, let's take a killer and put him in New York.

[33:44] And I'm like, yeah, I did that dudes like I did that.

[33:47] So, okay.

[33:48] So you're bringing a little you're bringing a little annoyance to the table.

[33:51] There's no resentment, but I don't know.

[33:53] I mean, what do you guys have?

[33:55] What have you guys heard about it?

[33:56] Because I haven't seen any reviews of it yet.

[33:57] I've heard good things both.

[33:59] The reviews are fairly good,

[34:02] which honestly when it comes to horror movies,

[34:06] unless there are something that is obviously like sort of a a critic can latch

[34:11] on to and be and and be like, oh, this is elevated in some way like just sort of

[34:19] like my mildly positive horror movie reviews are good enough for me.

[34:23] Like I think I will probably like it in those situations

[34:27] and our friends who went and saw it also really liked it.

[34:30] John Mary thing.

[34:31] We have friends.

[34:32] Yeah, and they saw the movie.

[34:34] Did you see LA?

[34:35] Did you see the 2013 Evil Dead remake?

[34:38] I did not.

[34:39] I still haven't gotten around to seeing.

[34:40] I gotta say you should check it out.

[34:42] It's fucking gross, dude.

[34:43] It's like super gory and the setup is really like I really like the premise of setting it up

[34:49] that they're going they're going out of the cabin to like help their friend get over drug addiction.

[34:54] And then when like fucked up shit starts happening.

[34:56] She has a little bit of trouble being like is this for real or is this the DTS?

[35:00] Yeah, like I think that's a great setup.

[35:02] It's like it's a little fucking like it's a little sadistic,

[35:07] you know when you're watching a like I don't I feel like it came after that

[35:11] like the French new wave of like horror stuff.

[35:14] That's like very sadistic.

[35:16] It's like inside and martyrs and stuff like that.

[35:18] Yeah, like the shit where you're like, okay, calm down.

[35:20] I feel like I don't like this.

[35:22] This is not like this is not what I go to.

[35:24] This was the entertainment, right?

[35:25] Like you're not really supposed to be making me upset about the world.

[35:27] Yeah, but it's it's still super gory and pretty great.

[35:32] I mean, I can understand what you said.

[35:33] You're saying Elliot about like I'm not sure what this is

[35:35] whether this is what I want out of an evil dead movie.

[35:38] But on the other hand, it's like I don't know those movies already exist.

[35:41] So like if there's a good version of what they're going to give me

[35:45] or even or even if it's something different,

[35:47] but it's just got evil dead paint on it,

[35:48] you know, like that that's that like if it's good, it'll be good.

[35:52] I think there's a like I guess what it is.

[35:55] Maybe it's because I'm also thinking about having seen the Pope's exorcist afterwards

[35:58] where I'm like, I kind of want to see demons inside people's bodies

[36:01] doing different things that I've seen before like crawling on walls

[36:04] and being suddenly like your mommy's in hell,

[36:07] you know and stuff like that.

[36:07] Like I've seen it so many times.

[36:09] Yeah, but maybe there's new stuff

[36:11] and that's just what's in the trailer to get the newbies in to communicate to them.

[36:14] Like what it's like when you're possessed by a deadite or something like that.

[36:17] But uh, you know the I want to see I always want to see new things.

[36:21] That's my whole thing man.

[36:22] I want to see new things.

[36:23] You're an explorer on the far reaches of experience.

[36:25] Yeah, exactly two new things that I don't think I'm going to see though

[36:29] are the other two trailers that I watched before.

[36:32] Okay, the Pope's exorcist.

[36:34] We didn't we didn't come down with you.

[36:35] I think yeah, I think I'm going to go see this one.

[36:39] I'm excited eventually.

[36:40] I don't know if I'm going to see in the theaters,

[36:41] but I'll see I literally keep telling Stewart,

[36:43] you know, tell me when you can see evil dead rise

[36:46] and I'll go with you to the movie theater and for some reason.

[36:50] I'm such a busy boy.

[36:52] As soon as I have a second because Dan you're being a little too like

[36:55] you got to play hard to get thirsty.

[36:57] You're being too thirsty.

[36:58] You want it too bad.

[36:59] Yeah.

[37:00] Yeah.

[37:00] My dm's are filled with dudes being like hey,

[37:03] when do you want to see evil?

[37:05] I just I just know that we both have wives who have avowedly said not interested.

[37:11] So seems like the perfect perfect matchup,

[37:14] you know, yeah, your work wife's do another day night.

[37:18] So and I'll I'm I was curious about that.

[37:21] I mean there's that part where she's just cracking eggs

[37:22] and dropping them into a frying pan and I'm at one after another

[37:25] and I was like,

[37:25] and I'm like,

[37:26] oh, I'm so hungry.

[37:28] That is my mind on drugs.

[37:31] Hungry drugs.

[37:32] Anyway, so the other trailers though were also for comedies.

[37:36] They were so I saw so many comedy trailers before this movie one

[37:39] and this one was that one of them was for no hard feelings starring Jennifer Lawrence

[37:44] the movie in which she is a like a like a mean person.

[37:48] This one too.

[37:49] Like a mean person loser who is hired by a family to date their son

[37:52] before he goes to college.

[37:54] Oh, yes.

[37:56] Everything about this trailer is not for me.

[37:59] It is not what I'm looking for in a movie.

[38:00] It's like it's a situation.

[38:03] I don't believe for a moment with characters that feel like they escaped

[38:07] from like a like a first-level improv show

[38:11] or something like that

[38:12] and a lot of like people accidentally punching each other in the face

[38:15] or something like it was not it's it's like a I don't know.

[38:17] How'd you guys feel about it?

[38:18] This maybe the movie is not bad,

[38:19] but the trailer really was hitting all the wrong buttons for me.

[38:22] I could see the trailer kind of wrong for me buttons.

[38:25] I I'm kind of into it just because like I like Jennifer Lawrence.

[38:30] I think she was a victim of like shooting to the top

[38:34] and then people deciding they didn't like her at the same time.

[38:37] She was started making some worse career choices that I mean I also felt

[38:43] like as soon as she started making kind of like out of the ordinary movie

[38:47] interesting movies people.

[38:48] Yeah, I don't like you anymore,

[38:50] you know, yeah, but I like the idea like she seems like she's cutting loose

[38:55] and having fun like playing like broad comedy

[38:58] and I like the idea of seeing that I guess I like her I guess I think she's really funny,

[39:02] but yeah, it's a let's do what we gonna say.

[39:04] I mean, I think like I've always been a fan of like gross out comedies

[39:09] and sex comedies and this kind of seems like one of the I don't know

[39:13] when she like when one of the jokes in the trailer is her walking up to the guy

[39:18] and being like hey, that's a nice wiener

[39:20] and he's like what and she goes your wiener dog that you're holding

[39:23] and it's like no that's it's a nailed it.

[39:27] I love it trailer like it shouldn't be

[39:29] but I think it feels like the kind of movie

[39:31] where someone will I'm not a smart.

[39:34] I'm not a smart comedy writer like you guys.

[39:36] I'm just Joe six-pack over here.

[39:38] I just love it up over your dog jokes.

[39:40] Yeah, it does it feel it's it was it felt like a movie play.

[39:43] It was playing for someone other than me,

[39:45] but who knows I sometimes I like crazy gross out things on the other end of the spectrum

[39:52] a comedy at trailer that felt almost a little too artsy for me,

[39:56] which was the other trailer.

[39:57] I saw okay was the one for fool's Paradise.

[40:00] which is starring and I think also written and directed by Charlie Day and maybe he only wrote

[40:04] it also. Oh, I haven't seen this trailer yet. Describe it for me and then I'll watch it.

[40:08] It's essentially his version of being there, I guess, where he is a kind of mute,

[40:14] you know, innocent, I guess, who looks just like a movie star. And so he gets...

[40:19] Oh, like Agent 47, yeah. He gets pulled off the street to be that movie star's stunt double and

[40:24] then just is a huge star all of a sudden. And it feels and it is a it's one of those movies where

[40:29] somebody who doesn't who either says very little or doesn't talk, everyone projects onto them

[40:34] exactly what they want. And so they rise to success. And suddenly he's on talk shows and

[40:39] he's getting married to a starlet and stuff. And it feels like one of those things where it is a

[40:44] someone who it feels like it might be a case of the Stephen King cycle where he did. It's

[40:51] Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which came from it felt like a real place of living and like

[40:55] living a kind of gross life and doing stuff about people who are losers.

[41:00] But now he's a big, successful Hollywood person. So he's got to do like his satire of Hollywood

[41:04] when outside of Hollywood. I don't know how much people really care about like

[41:08] satires of Hollywood necessarily. I mean, just to see if he's going to hit any

[41:12] any new things other than the idea that like everyone in Hollywood is

[41:15] just in it for money and backstabbing and blah, blah, blah. But watching it,

[41:20] the trailer is also trying very hard to like throw crazy energy at you.

[41:25] And it may be like a trying a little too much in the way.

[41:29] Like the crazy energy that Kang shoots out of his hand.

[41:33] But much the opposite of the way that the Spider-Verse trailer is like,

[41:36] we know you're going to see this movie. Like, we don't have to work too hard for this.

[41:39] This movie feels like it's working really hard. The trailer feels like it's working really hard.

[41:44] And it is a little sweaty in that way. So but you guys haven't seen this trailer.

[41:48] Maybe it's only playing in Los Angeles or the Los Angeles area

[41:50] for people in the movie industry. I don't know.

[41:53] Maybe what? I mean, I feel like we've talked about a lot of comedy trailers,

[41:58] and I feel like the vast majority of studio comedies

[42:02] seem so focused on also being lifestyle porn. Like there's a certain amount of like,

[42:08] I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm just like, I feel like movies in general right now.

[42:12] And comedies get swept up in that also. Yeah, you're probably right.

[42:16] There's very few. I mean, like a movie like Raising Arizona,

[42:20] I don't see being made nowadays for a number of reasons.

[42:23] But in terms of like, they don't make movies that budget too much anymore.

[42:26] But also the fact that like, yeah, you never see a rich person's house.

[42:30] They don't go on a fancy vacation. And it feels like so many except for horror movies.

[42:34] It feels like almost every movie you have to see a fancy person's house.

[42:37] At some point, you're saying that Nathan Arizona isn't rich.

[42:40] The owner of all those unfinished Arizona, unpainted Arizona.

[42:47] He is so realistically rich, like he is. I believe him as the richest guy in that town.

[42:53] Exactly.

[42:54] But like if they were making Raising Arizona now, it would be like,

[42:57] they would be watching a news story would be like,

[42:59] the billionaire owner of this sports team had seven babies.

[43:02] And it would be shots of helicopters. And he's like,

[43:05] he's bringing the babies on a helicopter to a yacht or something like that.

[43:09] And then the trailer would go, boom, we got to steal one of those babies.

[43:13] And then it would just be them.

[43:14] And take that baby back to our, let's say, modestly appointed house in the suburbs.

[43:21] They would live in a upper middle class house in the LA suburbs.

[43:26] They would not be living in a borderline trailer house, trailer home.

[43:30] That's one of the sad things right now is that it feels like

[43:33] almost every movie now has some aspect of luxury porn to it.

[43:36] Which is one of the things that I like so much about the Poker Face show

[43:40] is that it did feel like it was highlighting people who live on the kind of like edges of society

[43:45] and not in like lavish luxury all the time.

[43:49] Yeah. And so the, I think there's a,

[43:53] the kinds of comedies that are getting made now for theaters,

[43:57] I think probably are the ones that seem like outrageous enough

[44:01] that you can make a trailer like the ones you've been talking about for those comedies.

[44:04] That's the other problem with, this is actually where I thought

[44:07] Stuart was going to complain about with comedy trailers.

[44:09] It's just like, the best you can do in a comedy trailer often,

[44:15] I feel like, is to sell the situation and people be like,

[44:18] oh, I can see how that situation would be funny.

[44:20] Yeah.

[44:21] Because like trailers are bound to like hit the broadest moments

[44:27] because they want the biggest effect out of it.

[44:30] But those moments out of context,

[44:32] maybe they're funnier in the movie once they've been built to in some way,

[44:36] but they just feel like the lowest brow shenanigans.

[44:39] Or maybe they are that, but like comedy is based on character

[44:44] and you have to get to know the characters and then laugh at them.

[44:46] Anyway, what are you saying?

[44:47] Often the biggest, broadest moments and the biggest visual moments in a comedy

[44:51] are often the less funny parts of them.

[44:53] It's the part where there's a car chase or I'm not a fan of Caddyshack.

[44:57] It's not a movie I like, but that boat scene is, I know, I'm sorry,

[45:01] hot take, but that boat scene is particularly the worst scene in the movie.

[45:04] And if you were making a trailer for Caddyshack now,

[45:06] it would be all boats crashing into each other

[45:08] because those are the big visual punctuation marks.

[45:11] And the poop in the pool.

[45:13] And the poop in the pool would make it.

[45:15] That's a layup.

[45:15] Yeah, that's your end of the trailer joke for sure.

[45:20] But the, yeah, it's like, I mean, part of it is that

[45:24] they've really perfected the method of making trailers for movies,

[45:29] like superhero or Christopher Nolan movies,

[45:33] where the movie where it's more about the anticipation.

[45:35] You want to know everything about the movie,

[45:37] except the anticipation of like one thing that happens in it,

[45:40] you know, where and comedies are not that.

[45:42] Like, I really miss old comedy trailers where you would have a voiceover that's like,

[45:47] Richie George thought he had it all, but he didn't realize.

[45:51] Like, I kind of missed that because.

[45:53] I was actually going over some older trailers for a segment

[45:57] that we're not actually going to get to in trailer time this time.

[45:59] We're going to have to save for the next visit to teaser town.

[46:02] But I'm shocked at how older trailers had so many more voiceovers

[46:07] than modern trailers seem to have.

[46:09] Yes.

[46:10] And specifically the weird, like hearing certain voiceovers in trailers,

[46:16] like hits somewhere in my lizard brain.

[46:19] And I'm like, oh, this voice makes me so excited.

[46:22] Well, and like it used to be.

[46:24] I mean, things, creative things go in cycles,

[46:26] fashion and style and trend things go in cycles.

[46:29] So like, I think there was a period when

[46:31] people got tired of voiceovers in trailers and, you know,

[46:33] it turned into that in a world, you know.

[46:35] Like, like the guy who did the,

[46:36] the guy who did the voiceover for the Star Wars special edition trailers.

[46:41] If he released just like ASMR erotica tapes.

[46:45] I was so fucking into it.

[46:46] But talking about Star Wars stuff.

[46:48] Yeah.

[46:49] I mean, I thought they went with that.

[46:50] Yeah, like, no.

[46:51] I said erotica, Elliot.

[46:53] But then I remember it when it felt refreshing,

[46:55] when it was a trailer just made out of clips from the movie with no voiceovers.

[47:00] But now we've gone so far with that.

[47:02] And that's become so caught up.

[47:03] I mean, like the part where it's like,

[47:05] it keeps so many trailers that keeps dipping to black and light.

[47:09] Yeah.

[47:09] And then there's like a warm,

[47:11] well, like the stuff everyone's talked about, like that's gotten so boring.

[47:14] Maybe a sparse strings arrangement for your horror trailer.

[47:18] Yeah.

[47:18] Like, like Stewart, the segment we aren't going to get to,

[47:21] Stewart asked us to think of some other trailers that stuck out to us.

[47:24] And I kept thinking about the trailer for In the Line of Fire,

[47:26] which had, I think, no footage from the movie in the original teaser.

[47:29] And it's just the year 1963 is on screen.

[47:33] And there's talking as the six ticks,

[47:36] like a clock ticking turns to turn into a nine.

[47:38] So it becomes 1993.

[47:40] And it gets across everything about like,

[47:41] what happened in 1963 is going to happen in 1993.

[47:43] A president's going to get shot unless Clint Eastwood can do anything about it.

[47:46] And I remember that trailer.

[47:48] That's a good ass trailer.

[47:49] It's a great trailer.

[47:50] And it's and it feels like I miss trailers like that,

[47:52] where they're like, we're going to tell you the story,

[47:54] but we're going to tell you the story in the clearest way.

[47:56] And in the way that gets across the feel of it,

[47:58] rather than just like, here's big moments from the movie.

[48:01] We'll throw them at you.

[48:02] Bam, bam, bam.

[48:03] You know.

[48:03] Another favorite one like that for me,

[48:06] for a movie that was not very good,

[48:08] is the trailer for Leatherface, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3,

[48:11] where the lady in the lake throws Leatherface his chainsaw

[48:15] and then like lightning hits him.

[48:17] It's so cool.

[48:18] Yeah.

[48:18] And it's not a very good movie,

[48:20] despite the presence of Viggo Mortensen.

[48:22] And it means that you could do those trailers

[48:24] without having the line in the movie

[48:26] that's only there to set up the scene in the trailer.

[48:28] You know, like, you want to hire me to date your son

[48:31] before he goes to college?

[48:32] Like, you don't need that line in the movie

[48:34] because you don't need to cut it into the trailer.

[48:36] You know?

[48:36] Yeah, that was a line in the Spider-Verse, right?

[48:42] Exactly.

[48:45] Well, this was a lovely time in Teaser Town.
