Trailer Hitch

James’s consistent insistence for comparing things to Star Wars lead the guys to create a new rating system just for him. Also, James and Kevin take Justice League to court, skim through The Book of Henry, and float to an opinion on It. If you have any trailer recommendations, quibbles with our banter, or have any idea what the hell “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks is about, please email us at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/49.mp3

Mike Heyer of Nerd Soup, The Backlot Comedy House, and Kevin’s family photos fame joins us as our very first guest on Trailer Hitch! Naturally, the fraternal love leads to the gang talking about trailers focused on death, giving fantastic insight into how much of a goddamn bummer the Heyer family Christmases are. They got some notes for Death Note, get heated over Coco, and won’t pass by the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Be sure to listen to Nerd Soup after you listen to Trailer Hitch and see a show at the Backlot Comedy House in Oshkosh, WI! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/327.mp3

DUDE HAVE YOU SEEN PROMETHEUS?! CHARLIZE THERON IS AN INTERGALACTIC TREASURE! The accidental theme of Charlize Theron leads the boys to celebrating the “bomb” actor! James and Kevin’s trailer gets hijacked by an iPad, forcing them to come up with a review for The Fate of the Furious, radiate praise and hesitation for Atomic Blonde, and… you know what, forget puns; DID YOU SEE THAT DRIFT IN THE BABY DRIVER TRAILER? CAUSE WE SURE DID, YES INDEED. Shout out to Casey for even more music! Feel free to send music, suggestions, quips or quibbles to trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/312-final.mp3

The Oscar edition of Trailer Hitch is… pretty hard to do cause we talk about trailers. But! We have a Trailer in the Rearview for La La Land, and that’s nominated (but by the time you see this, it’s likely won something!) CLOSE ENOUGH. The boys also finally make good on their oft-broken promise to look back at The Ring Vs. The Grudge, and give their final verdicts on Rogue One! We also got some Hitch-Hikin’ and a quick tune up before we look back on these movies! If you are spoiler averse and have yet to see some of these films, below you’ll find a timecode breakdown so you can skip ahead! The Ring Vs. The Grudge: 0:24:35 – 0:32:30 Rouge One: 0:32:45 – 0:49:20 La La Land: 0:50:20 – 1:12:24 https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/226.mp3

WHERE THE TRAILERS AT? While it was another quiet fortnight for trailers, it was certainly a busy time for TV spots, so the boys slap some helmets on, deflate their microphone, and intercept this year’s Super Bowl spots! AND MY GOD WE GOT A THEME SONG. Special shout out to Casey for the dope track!! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/212.mp3

A quiet couple of weeks for trailers leads James and Kevin through the whacky world of independent movies, ranging from the good, the bad, and the… wut? The boys also get woke during the Imperial Dreams review and feel right at home with I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. Shout to to Casey for the suggestion! Please feel free to email suggestions at trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/129.mp3

Like an old book in an adventure movie, James and Kevin blow the dust off of some of the trailers they missed over the hiatus. They storm Dunkirk’s beach, face-hug the Alien: Covenant trailer, and drive off into the sunset with a review of Death Race 2050. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/11617.mp3

Best of lists are all over the place this December! But there’s scant few for trailers, and even fewer from people who literally review trailers. DON’T WORRY, JAMES AND KEVIN GOT YA COVERED. The boys give their top three trailers of the year and throw a few honorable mentions in for good measure. Thanks to all of our listeners, contributors, and friends who have made this year a ton of fun! You’ll see us next year (I mean, like, two weeks) with more trailer reviews, more Trailer in the Rearviews, more Hitch-Hiking, and more musings from these two schmucks. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/1230.mp3

Double digits! We grown, y’all! James and Kevin get sunburned by Baywatch, wrap their heads around The Mummy trailer, wonder if Jim Jarmusch is an “un-trailerable” filmmaker over Paterson, and awkwardly dance with Spider-Man: Homecoming! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/1219.mp3

Whoa! That got serious. James and Kevin try to make sense of the twisted metal of the Cars 3 teaser, take a moment for Silence, and decide if the Barry trailer is All-American. Feel free to send trailers, comments, and cures for the common cold to trailerhitchmailbox@gmail.com or hit us up on our Facebook page! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/125.mp3

After episodes of teasing… it finally happened! The boys give you their spoiler ridden thoughts on the trailer of Arrival and the film itself! Will the film live up to the hype of the trailer? Will the trailer live up to the film? James and Kevin are on the case! Please note, we burned through all of our Arrival puns already. Sorry there wasn’t one above. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/1129.mp3

We spook-ulate the relevance of ScarJo’s race in Ghost in the Shell (God, that description did a 180, didn’t it?), Kevin beats up Beauty and the Beast, James goes ape for Kong: Skull Island, and the boys talk smack about Jackie. Additionally, ayyyyy! We finally did a Trailer in the Rearview! Check out the boy’s spoiler free thoughts on Arrival and if they thought the trailer sold the movie well. https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/1121.mp3

We la-la-love the La La Land trailer, pounce on Nocturnal Animals, ponder about Life, and extol our amazement of Wonder Woman (WAIT SHOULDA SAID WONDER INSTEAD OF AMAZEMENT! DAMN IT!) More Hitch Hiking afoot as well! Shout out to J.P. Russell, Mike Heyer, and Jenny Hoks for the suggestions! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/117-2.mp3

Guys! You responded en masse, prompting James and Kevin to go hard in this episode reviewing 10 trailers in under five minutes! They also introduce Trailer Tune-Up, morph up an opinion on Power Rangers, deduce what’s going on in A Cure for Wellness, talk about title card overuse in foreign film trailers in regard to Toni Erdmann, and have some choice words about Logan. Also, Red Dead Redemption 2! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/1024.mp3

Hear James and Kevin try not to crack jokes about Patriots Day, disagree (!!) on The Space Between Us, fence each other off with a review of Fences, and cap it all off with some Desierto!https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/109.mp3

Don’t get your hopes up, it’s not any darker. James and Kevin take fire at Free Fire, but that doesn’t lighten up 50 Shades Darker. Embark, noble Passengers, on episode four! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/ep-4.mp3

Can a robot make a dope trailer? Can Ben Affleck make us miss his movies before he plunges headfirst into the depths of DC? Can James pull off “The Grudge noise?” All these questions and more answered on this week’s podcast, where James & Kevin tackle artificial intelligence, who the hell Toby Jones is, and award their second ever, “Need to See It,” rating! Special thanks to Ryo Hata for the recommendation! Speaking of, even if you’re not Ryo Hata, you should recommend stuff to us too! https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/91216.mp3

Thanks for ARRIVING at our podcast! James and Kevin talk RINGS, HANDS OF STONE, ARRIVAL, introduce “Paint Job,” and Mary Shelley commandeers our Runaway Trailer.https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/82516.mp3

https://trailerhitch.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/trailer-hitch-001-81416.mp3 In their first episode, James and Kevin tackle the new Rogue One trailer, get surprised by Resident Evil, and cut down a Sea of Trees.
