Trailer Hitch

You’ve been growing up with Trailer Hitch for over a year now… and it’s time Trailer Hitch returned the favor and grew up as well. This episode focuses on three trailers for coming-of-age films: Dear Dictator gets overthrown, we’d kill for I Kill Giants, and decide whether or not we Love, Simon. Now, if you’ll excuse use, we have to sit quietly and write in our journals with our earbuds in (that’s in… dear God, that’s in EVERY COMING OF AGE MOVIE.) Thankfully, we have Danny Schmitz from Lost in a Name providing our theme, and Casey Clowers throwing down our outro! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/12718.mp3

New year, not new us… well, we’re still hungover from New Years, so I suppose that’s new… No worries, though! James & Kevin hit the ground running regardless with three Main Drag trailers. They welcome Tully’s offer for help, tell you whether Ocean’s 8 sinks, and then beat the final boss of the night by reviewing the Game Over, Man! trailer. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/11318.mp3

If you presumed you’d be able to escape 2017 without a review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, then we find your lack of faith disturbing. James and Kevin’s last Fresh Off the Lot for the year dives into The Last Jedi… is the Force strong with it? How many parsecs can it do? Dd the porgs actually serve a purpose? The answers, this review has! And better audio, this re-upload review has! Sorry for the glitchin’ in the previous version! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/1215-cleanest.mp3

James and Kevin watched a movie! Will Thor: Ragnarok live up to the Asgard-high expectations the trailer set? Did the trailer hammer home the tone of the movie itself? Will they remember Stan Lee’s cameo? … I didn’t. I think he was one of the dudes in Jeff Goldblum’s planet? That sounds about right. Additionally, the boys introduce a new segment! They take you into the Trailer Showroom to window shop some of the sub-minute trailers that studios REALLY seem to get a kick out of these days. Lastly, and unfortunately, there were some technical issues in the back half of the episode (oh, YOU’LL HEAR IT.) I offer a heartfelt apology while James swears at his microphone. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/1125.mp3

James & Kevin ghost on Phantom Thread, break a leg for I, Tonya, and ask for an Oscar for their review of The Post. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/1110.mp3

Good evening, ghouls and goblins… now GET OUTTA HERE, WE GOT A PODCAST TO PUBLISH. AND STOP EATING PEOPLE, WE NEED THE LISTENERS. They gone? Good. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! This special Halloween episode is a spooky look at The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which we assume scared the pants off of someone somewhere. Bad Movie Correspondent Jenny Hoks joins this trip down a terrifying memory lane, looking back at the trailer James and Kevin gave a Never Need to See, and helped determine whether the movie was dead on arrival. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/1027.mp3

James and Kevin lighten the mood a bit with a double dose of comedy trailers (triple dose, if you include Pacific Rim 2, I guess.) They tear The Disaster Artist apart before banishing themselves to Isle of Dogs. Did those puns work? Or did they feel too CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP? https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/1011-final.mp3

Kevin and an anonymous 28-year-old (it’s totally James) butt heads over Hostiles, and bring good tidings to The Man Who Invented Christmas. We’ll be taking a brief hiatus for an episode (take a listen for the post credit bit for a solid reason why,) but we’ll be coming back in October with a vengeance!* Use the time to email us at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com for any suggestions or insights you wish to impart! *We’ll probably be coming back at the same level we’re normally at… which is, “Sorta buzzed, but having fun.” https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/9917.mp3

James and Kevin get a bit vicious with the Little Evil trailer, let The Killing of a Sacred Deer trailer burn, burn, burn, and finish their road trip out with Last Flag Flying. Also! We picked a Never Need to See movie to watch! Listen in on the coin flip that decided it all this episode! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/827.mp3

James & Kevin dive deep on The Shape of Water, try to breathe some life into Death Wish, and then bring it home to Suburbicon. Feel free to tell your friends and aquatic monsters that live in your office to write in to trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com for any requests, comments, and insults! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/813.mp3

Hello again, true believers! James and Kevin ZIP, ZAM, and ZOOM their way over to Comic-Con from the comfort of James’ living room (with a brand new sidekick/puppy!) and deliver justice to seven movie trailers that dropped in the hallowed halls of H. Will our heroes still pick up Thor’s hammer after that last Thor: Ragnarok trailer? Will they be able to decipher that Jigsaw is back based on the Jigsaw trailer? Will they have any justification for how bad the Pacific Rim 2 teaser was? To be continued… https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/729.mp3

James and Kevin finally get into gear to review Baby Driver, and awkwardly ask you to attend their review of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Will the movies live up to the trailer?! Will the sky-high expectations be met for both movies?! So, basically, James thought– WAIT. NO. LISTEN TO THE EPISODE. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/722.mp3

Nothing cool happens when you’re 24, so the boys try to drum up some excitement with a new segment and a new guest! David Seering joins us “In the Shop”, where James and Kevin go over a trailer shot by shot to determine just what the hell that noise is. The clunker in question this week is Darkest Hour, and, fittingly, they take the hour to discuss the merit of the frame-within-frame shots, whether another Winston Churchill movie is necessary, and, er, if David could maybe tone it back a little. And you can let us know at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com if you’d like to see this segment again, need to see more of this segment, or if you never need to see it again! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/716.mp3  

Oh, great, now THE POOL IS THROWIN’ SHADE. James and Kevin breathe some life into Flatliners, try to remember how to ask where the bathroom is during The Foreigner trailer, and cut down the rainforest that is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/73.mp3

After the presidential election and the election that decided which Never Need to See movie James and Kevin had to watch, we can agree that democracy is a bit flawed, right? Now, now, we appreciate all of your votes, and have honored them by watching and presenting a Trailer in the Rearview for 50 Shades Darker! But the boys were thankfully not alone! Our Bad Movie Correspondent and James’ roommate Jenny Hoks also joins us on this episode! Will her Trailer Park Application get approved? Will she have any insight in what the hell is going on in this movie cause she read the first book in this franchise? Was it a bad sign that she put down the second book because, quote, “It was really boring”? All these questions and more answered in this episode!* *And to answer the question of why there are two episode 22’s… technical issues with the first one. This is the real one! Thanks for your patience! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/619.mp3

James & Kevin roll the dice on some new trailers to the Gambling Edition of Trailer Hitch! (Spoiler alert: Someone wins a dollar.) The boys are up all night to get the Logan Lucky trailer, but end up crashing into The Mountain Between Us. But, that’s okay, cause they got a new theme song, courtesy of Danny Schmitz from Lost in a Name! Visit his website at dannyschmitzmusic.com for more awesome music, then go to lostinaname.com for even more great stuff! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/64.mp3

Bonjour, bruh! James & Kevin raid the Cannes Film Festival in their first ever Cannes-Quest, put up their mitts for Battle of the Sexes, and have to remind themselves Wesley Snipes won’t show up in Blade Runner 2049. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/521.mp3

Yeesh, that got a bit dark. James & Kevin figure out if the Kingsman sequel is worth any gold, come to a conclusion on It Comes at Night (at night,) and climb The Dark Tower! Please check out our Facebook poll going up on Monday where you can pick a movie for the boys to watch! Just… please be nice. It was really a rough week for them, guys. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/57.mp3

Guys and gals, a massive trailer dropped! We’ve all been waiting for it… so James and Kevin bolted to their laptop to record a Thor: Ragnarok review! But, wait, there’s more! *Another* highly anticipated trailer dropped, so they also took up arms to record a review for the Detroit trailer! And there was one other trailer they reviewed, but it’s slipping my mind. If memory serves, James liked it, or something. Please email us at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com for trailer suggestions! You can even ask them to review the new Star Wars trailer– WAIT, THAT WAS THE THIRD ONE THEY DID! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/423.mp3

After much delay, the boys finally make good on their promise to give you the lowdown on Logan and give their “yes and no” on 20th Century Women. More Trailer in the Rearviews to come! Until then, send us an email at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com for any qualms with our reviews or recommendations for trailers you’d like us to see! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/4417.mp3
