August 09, 2021 06:50 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBGreetings from the past! The boys record early so Kevin can get an experimental procedure in Guam, but they still manage to get a review of Ghostbusters Afterlife in there. They also take a look back at The Mitchells vs. The Machines, seeing if their initial criticism of the trailer seeming to give too much away holds merit, and get In the Heights since they need the vantage point to keep track of all the characters. Ghostbusters Afterlife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaG_5ZZ2PyM Th...
Episode 123: "You Had Me at 'Force'" / Malignant / Jackass Forever
July 26, 2021 04:52 - 1 hour - 86.2 MBThe aftermath of the Bucks Championship win reverberates through this episode, whether it be in sudden basketball references or Kevin's hangover.

July 12, 2021 05:47 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBAfter some culotte adorned rest and relaxation, James & Kevin return -- recording in person! -- to review trailers, figuring things probably wouldn't be too crazy while they were gone. QUITE THE CONTRARY. They hit the ground running, Courtesy Honking enough to sound like a car alarm, passing out free thoughts on Free Guy, getting down on one knee for Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, winking at The Eyes of Tammy Faye, blow up Tick Tick Boom's spot, decide if Halloween Kills is w...

But, before they don the culottes and drink something out of a coconut, James & Kevin give a Tune-Up to Jungle Cruise (they... really had vacation on their minds...), decide if Eternals will last the test of time, have something to say about Last Night in Soho, and finally decide if they can see anything of themselves in Old. Jungle Cruise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJZ82pwwJqA Eternals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8wxsGl-rMA Last Night ...
Episode 120: "The One Breath Rule" / TitRV: Mortal Kombat / The Green Knight / Venom: Let There Be Carnage
May 17, 2021 06:25 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MBThat's not a car alarm outside, the boys are just Courtesy Honk-ing *a lot*. They find some fun in The Amusement Park, go in depth on Jenny's husband's opinion of Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, and decide if The Forever Purge will last. Granted, that's a lotta honking, so off to the shop the podcast goes... and, hey, while they're there, they give a quick Tune-Up to A Quiet Place Part II. Then, James & Kevin, hankering to talk about a movie, decide to give a quick Trailer in the Rearview of Mo...

May 03, 2021 05:09 - 58 minutes - 81 MBHOPE YA LIKE SEGMENTS. James and Kevin give a Courtesy Honk to Marvel's first feature trailer in over a year with Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, then head into the Teaser Trailer Showroom to give the jazz hands of West Side Story a shake, all before performing a Tune Up on Luca. Winded, but still going, James and Kevin try to catch the nuances of Annette and ask Wrath of Man to maybe mellow a bit. Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

April 19, 2021 07:31 - 56 minutes - 77.2 MBJames & Kevin may have missed the boat on the new Space Jam trailer, so they introduce Brake Check to get some thoughts out on whether it had enough Larry Bird. Then, they place their bets on Army of the Dead, all before refreshing themselves with F9.

April 05, 2021 05:26 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBWith the Snyder cut in the rearview, the boys look ahead... but not too far ahead, because they recorded before the new Space Jam trailer came out. They give their best guess on their opinion, and welcome *your* guesses on their opinion at [email protected] In the intermediary, they tune-up The Mitchells vs. The Machines (fka Connected), dust off an old segment for The Suicide Squad's red and green band trailers, all before circling back to Spiral.

March 22, 2021 06:45 - 56 minutes - 76.9 MBAfter giving them a years' time to shimmy in the wings, the boys give In the Heights another shot. Then, speaking of second chances, James and Kevin decide they were a bit mean to Disney, so they take another look at Cruella. They cap things off with the sacrilege of The Unholy, and decide if all that origami's for naught with The Paper Tigers. In the Heights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5pTICZ2oeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4CRPvel2Vc Cruella https://www.youtube.com/watc...

March 08, 2021 07:39 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MBJames and Kevin dive in to Luca, get their boots on the ground for Army of the Dead, see if they can cut any slack for Slaxx, and come out in full Thunder Force.

February 22, 2021 10:29 - 57 minutes - 79.5 MBAfter a quick Courtesy Honk for Justice League (something something society), the boys decide if they'll give any mercy to Cruella, and test their might on Mortal Kombat.

Episode 112: "We Draw the Line at You Dancing" / Cherry / Willy's Wonderland
January 25, 2021 09:45 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBThe boys?! Unfiltered?! But what of their, "Um's"?! It's a risk they're willing to take, especially because they have a lot of great content to dissect. After questioning the utility of a sizzle reel after seeing Netflix and HBO Max's offerings for the year, James & Kevin head into the teaser trailer showroom to bask in the weirdness of Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Rey. Then, they have a taste of Cherry and spend a night at Willy's Wonderland.
Episode 111: "Passive Aggressive Pasta Making" / Malcom and Marie / Locked Down / TitRV: Soul
January 11, 2021 10:29 - 1 hour - 86 MB"Woof, what a year." "Lemon, it's January." Right, plenty happened already, so the boys take a breather before giving a passing glance at Coming 2 America (... are you absolutely sure you want to come right now...), check in with their favorite pasta-making couple Malcom & Marie, and, for something different, go get Locked Down. Then, to escape a little, the boys leave this plane and head to a spiritual one to discuss Soul. Will this finally be the Pixar trailer that the boys like in r...
Episode 110: Top 5 Trailers of 2020!
December 28, 2020 11:49 - 53 minutes - 73 MBIn a year of "trying times", these were the trailers that tried... and succeeded... at making 2020 just a little better. From Palm Springs to Deerskin, from the bizarre to the goofy fun, these were the trailers that resonated the most with James and Kevin! There are plenty of firsts to be had in these Top 5's (well, beyond the trailers that got first place, anyway), so tune in to hear which Never Need to See trailer wound up on one of these lists, and more!
Episode 109: "Thanks to the Legos, That's Canon" / Runaway Trailer: Star Wars Announcements
December 14, 2020 23:21 - 1 hour - 126 MBIt's a whacky episode, so in lieu of my usual schwupping (a word we made up; I told you it was whacky), I choose to quote poet-of-my-generation, Bill Murray: Star Wars! Give me those Star Wars! Nothing but Star Wars - Don't let them end. Ah, Star Wars! If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars stay! And hey, How about that nutty Star Wars bar? Can you believe all the creatures in there? And hey, Darth Vader in that black and evil mask - Did he...
Episode 108: "Cruel With a Lowercase 'c'" / One Night in Miami / Chaos Walking
November 30, 2020 07:58 - 50 minutes - 69.6 MBWith the holiday fast approaching, James couldn't resist talking about The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special, and with whiskey o'clock fast approaching, Kevin couldn't resist talking about On the Rocks. Then, the boys spend One Night in Miami and shuffle on to Chaos Walking.
Episode 107: "Gollum, You Paved the Way" / Black Beauty / Happiest Season
November 16, 2020 07:23 - 56 minutes - 77.4 MBWith their ride adding the weight of a wedding ring, the newly un-bachelored James and freewheeling bachelor Kevin dive head first into trailers of love. Whether that be Kevin's love for the esoteric movie you have to read (Another Round), or James' love for Star Wars that he never talks about (The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special), the boys give you the 411. They also say neigh to Black Beauty, and see if Happiest Season lives up to its name.
Episode 106: "Turn of *a* Century..." / Dreamland / Stardust
November 02, 2020 08:40 - 44 minutes - 61.5 MBAfter a wild All Saints Day, James & Kevin check out the Mexican jumping beans of Mank, are glad it's November while reviewing Halloween Kills, head off to Dreamland, and try to shake the Stardust off a Bowie biopic.
*SPECIAL GUEST: JENNY HOKS!* Episode 105: "Seapocalypse?" / TitRV: Ghosts of War & Deep Blue Sea 3
October 19, 2020 10:10 - 1 hour - 96.6 MBFinally atoning for their goofs, James & Kevin get in the (spooky) trenches for Ghosts of War and do a deep dive on Deep Blue Sea 3. It's a lot to tackle, so thankfully Bad Movie Correspondent, Social Media Manager, James' Roommate... and maybe James' fiance?... Jenny Hoks helps the boys look in the rearview, bringing extensive Deep Blue Sea knowledge and a whole lotta puns.
*BONUS!* Fresh Off the Lot: Fatman
October 12, 2020 21:00 - 33 minutes - 46 MBJames & Kevin stop the presses for Fatman, and discuss its hilarious premise, whether they can accept Mel Gibson as the lead, and who they'd get to play Cupid in the spin-off.
Episode 104: "I'm, Uh, Shocking... Zap" / Bad Hair / Sound of Metal / Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
October 05, 2020 07:23 - 48 minutes - 66.6 MBJames and Kevin comb through the Bad Hair trailer, enjoy the Sound of Metal, and truncate the title of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
Episode 103: "Have Its Butt Mouth and Eat it Too" / Dune / Cross Crazy Country
September 21, 2020 07:07 - 54 minutes - 75.3 MBIt's high time the boys got early. After being a few weeks too late for DC Fandome, they decide to celebrate Halloween early, exclusively reviewing horror movie trailers! Oop! Never mind, Dune came out. Well, that box of pain looks scary, so maybe that half counts. After admiring a big ol' worm, the boys laugh their way through Mass Hysteria, decide if Hubbie Halloween is a trick or a treat, get Freaky, wonder if Scare Me is a little desperate, foreclose Welcome to the Blumhouse, all bef...
Episode 102: "Oh, This Must Be Art Now" / DC Fandome 2020 / No Time to Die
September 07, 2020 09:52 - 58 minutes - 80 MBOh! Turns out DC Fandome had a lotta stuff going on. The boys show up fashionably late to unite for Snyder's Justice League, turn back the clock for Wonder Woman 1984, don't get too attached to The Suicide Squad, and address their thoughts to The Batman. To cap things off, they rush through No Time to Die.
Episode 101: "Can I Get a Boo for Violence?" / Cross Country
August 24, 2020 09:21 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MBIt's so hot. To beat the heat, James & Kevin decide to get in an air conditioned car and go Cross Country to try to find cooler land. They make a deal with The Devil All the Time, order a stiff one for On the Rocks, curse their gas powered cars with Tesla, have a sobering moment with The Binge, regard the royalty of Get Duked, forgive past betrayals with Judas and the Black Messiah, and applaud the horniness of Death on the Nile (the steaminess was worth breaking the pun run, trust me). ...
Episode 100: "A Ghost Bear, If You Will" / ComicCOVIDConquerers
August 10, 2020 08:23 - 51 minutes - 70 MBTrailer Hitch is officially in the triple digit club! Having conquered 100 episodes worth of trailers, they celebrate by conquering Comic Con 2020... Which is basically a victory lap. Due to the pandemic there are alarmingly few trailers, but due diligence demands it, damn it! James & Kevin see if there's anything new with The New Mutants, mount some Antlers, try to harmonize their "Whoa's" for Bill & Ted Face the Music, make lifelong foes outta Archenemy, and though they agree Kilroy Was ...
Episode 99: "Move Trailers: The Podcast" / Rogue / The New Mutants / TitRV's: Money Plane & Palm Springs
July 27, 2020 07:51 - 1 hour - 103 MBJames & Kevin, equipped with a clunky show name to honor a certain football team, go Rogue and wonder when The New Mutants is coming out. The boys also get their first screener... for Money Plane. They note the irony that their first free movie they've gotten for the podcast is called Money Plane and go sky high. Finally, cause who doesn't wanna get away these days, they go to Palm Springs and talk ad infinitum about the possibilities the premise belies.
Episode 99: "Movie Trailers: The Podcast" / Rogue / The New Mutants / TitRV's: Money Plane & Palm Springs

July 13, 2020 10:39 - 53 minutes - 73.2 MBHave you ever noticed just how many things are connected to electricity? Well, Kevin sure found out when the power cut out mid-recording for this episode. Luckily, the boys are able to generate some spark with a look at Halloween Kills, The One and Only Ivan, and An American Pickle. Also, ayyyyyyy the boys watched a movie! They pour their sweat and tears into Da 5 Bloods, and determine whether the trailer that blew them away still does after seeing the film.
Episode 97: That Sniper Was Such a Daphne / Ghosts of War / Broken Hearts Gallery / Palm Springs / Deep Blue Sea 3
June 29, 2020 11:17 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBWith an ever growing list of trailers, but an ever shrinking amount to say about some of them, James & Kevin introduce Courtesy Honk, where they touch on various trailers that they only have a paltry quip for. Through this, they give you notably abridged thoughts on Greenland, the 450th trailer for The King's Man (aforementioned number is a horrific overestimate), Waiting For the Barbarians, and Peninsula. Those trailers alone are worth entire episodes, though (well, maybe except for The K...

Episode 96: "Chumbawamba & Russian Roulette" / Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga / 7500 / Money Plane / Bill & Ted Face the Music
June 15, 2020 08:52 - 52 minutes - 71.5 MBEven with a multitude of injustice in the world, James manages to find something new to be enraged about: Kevin hadn't seen The Shawshank Redemption until last week. Luckily for James, Kevin also saw the trailers they're talking about today. They grade Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga a high-C, wonder how Joseph Gordon-Levitt got their company credit card PIN in 7500, take a franc ferry to Money Plane, and tune their instruments to Bill & Ted Face the Music.
Episode 95: "Respect on the Name" / Cross Country
June 01, 2020 08:00 - 51 minutes - 71.2 MBThings are pretty tense out there, so James & Kevin go Cross Country to get away for a while. On their journey, they donate some time to Da 5 Bloods, pay their respects to The Old Guard, go a bit Unhinged, don't quite find self-actualization with The Transcendents, reckon with a Force of Nature, bury the past with Relic, decide if The Wanting Mare could be a little less demanding, find out how much room and board is with Tenet, all before arriving at their final destination of Antebellum (...
Episode 94: "The Kevin Jamesaissance" / Shirley / Becky / The King of Staten Island
May 18, 2020 07:45 - 45 minutes - 62.8 MBNestled in their respective apartments, the boys are perplexed that they have three major trailers to talk about this week. Do these trailer editors get notes saying, "Remove the title card that says, 'In theaters on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'"? There are a lot of unanswered questions, but thankfully, our hosts have some opinions to compensate. James and Kevin don't call that trailer Shirley, admire the good hair in Becky, and crown The King of Staten Island.
Episode 93: "Heads Off to You" / Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy Vs. The Reverend / We Are Little Zombies / TitRV: The Hunt
May 04, 2020 06:52 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBAnother couple of weeks of quarantining and... someone's still making trailers?! BLESS YOUR HEART, WHOEVER YOU ARE, CAUSE YOU'RE GIVING US STUFF TO DISSECT. James & Kevin pick sides for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy Vs. The Reverend, and determine if We Are Little Zombies is dead on arrival, and talking about the critical woe of wanting to love something but just not being able to connect with it. Next, another couple of weeks of quarantining and... there still aren't too many new mov...
Episode 92: "Syphilis-Less Content" / Valley Girl / Capone / TitRV: Onward
April 20, 2020 04:31 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MBAnother fortnight in containment yielded a surprising amount of trailers -- we had initially anticipated zero -- so the boys determine if they, um, like Valley Girl, and drum up an opinion about some bootlegged Capone footage. Then, James & Kevin look Onward. Though they never reviewed the trailer for the show, they manage to give you the 411 on if the trailer properly conveyed the film, and their thoughts about the controversial ending.
Episode 91: "Nothing But Time and No Push-Ups" / The Main Event / Bad Education / Hi-Beam, Low-Beam: One Cut of the Dead
April 06, 2020 08:18 - 1 hour - 97.2 MBJames & Kevin are known for their overkill. Though they only have to be six feet apart, the boys chose to be a mile and a half apart, recording in their respective, quarantined apartments. But their distance makes their hearts grow fonder for trailers, and they got a couple doozies. They begin with The Main Event, then flunk out of Bad Education. Next, they introduce Hi-Beam, Lo-Beam, where one person watches all of the promotional material before seeing a movie, while the other goes in ...
*SPECIAL GUESTS: JENNY HOKS & MICAH POLLARD!* Episode 90: "Dramatic Push-In" / Jungle Cruise / Soul / TitRV: The Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby
March 23, 2020 05:05 - 54 minutes - 75.3 MBTake a listen to the "before times"... when we were still able to record podcasts in our friends' dining rooms before that was illegal. Also listen to when the "before times" became "the times" about 20 minutes into the recording, when one of our guest hosts had to leave cause all of her stuff was at work and she had to go grab it before she'd get locked out of her office. Needless to say, it's been a wild few weeks, and we're here for ya, to confront the anxiety of "the times" head on and...
Episode 89: "Post-humor-lesly" / Cross Country / TitRV: Sonic the Hedgehog & The Invisible Man
March 09, 2020 06:09 - 1 hour - 86.7 MBThe boys may have slept on the Oscars this year, but they didn't forget to award the first annual Best Trailer Picture to their favorite trailer of the Best Picture nominees. Too little, too late? The winner of our non-existent trophy will decide... But before they can decide, the boys hit the road and go Cross Country once again. Their journey brings them all the way to The French Dispatch, taking in the heartland to admire some Deerskin, getting something to eat with Candyman, make it a ...
Episode 88: TitRV - Little Women
February 24, 2020 08:07 - 56 minutes - 77.2 MBWith the Oscars distributed, the reactions exhaustively archived in meme form, and now forgotten in the constant shifting media cycle, James and Kevin figured, "Yeah, what the hell, let's go see Little Women." They take a look back at a trailer that hides the film's idiosyncratic structure and debate whether that was a welcome surprise or coulda helped get people on the fence to show up. Then, the boys process how they feel about Little Women (neither have read the book or seen any other a...
Episode 87: "Based on the Novel Push You Into a Syringe Pit by Sapphire" / Spiral: From the Book of Saw / 2020 Super Bowl Trailers RANKED!
February 10, 2020 12:29 - 1 hour - 95.9 MBJames & Kevin spin out of control trying to make sense of Chris Rock's 600 Tuesdays line from Spiral: From the Book of Saw. Next, the boys rank this year's Super Bowl spots! Whether it be with a rigorous method of criticism or a series of disinterested grunts, they give you the lowdown on this year's mini-trailers. Which trailers played like Pat Mahomes in the first half of the Super Bowl, throwing their potential into the dirt? Which trailers played like Pat Mahomes in the second half of ...
Episode 86: "Get a Hemoglobin Burn in There" / Standing Up, Falling Down / Morbius / TitRV: 1917
January 27, 2020 06:55 - 58 minutes - 79.9 MBJames & Kevin stumble over Standing Up, Falling Down, and get a few bats up in here with Morbius. With the Cats out of the bag, the boys catch up with a far less maligned 2019 film with 1917. They look back at a trailer that had to juggle selling a concept that (as far as they can surmise) can't be sold in a trailer and several narrative twists, all before getting into the trenches of the film itself.
*SPECIAL GUESTS: MICAH POLLARD & CARTER WEDL!* Episode 85: "I Need a Jellicle Drink" / The New Mutants / A Quite Place 2 / TitRV: Cats
January 14, 2020 10:44 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBJames and Kevin start the year horribly wrong by going to see Cats as punishment for a failed segment last year. Luckily, Micah Pollard from the podcast Shark Bites and Carter Wedl from... his apartment... join the boys on this ex-purr-sion. They stare deep into the VFX abyss and report back on whether the trailer can adequately prepare you for the film, and how time becomes a meaningless void after the fourth Judi Dench verse delivered directly into camera. But all is not bleak! They also...
Top 5 Trailers of 2019! (and also Tenet)
December 30, 2019 04:10 - 49 minutes - 68.6 MBWe came, we saw, we watched some trailers! As evidence of this, James & Kevin go through their respective top five trailers of the year, giving you the very best of this year's excellent crop. But wait! There's a late bloomer in those crops! Perhaps Christopher Nolan was trying to sneak one by the boys, but send a late rent notice to Tenet all the same. Does its inclusion in this episode mean that it places highly on one of their lists? That could be one of five reasons to listen to Traile...

December 23, 2019 05:07 - 1 hour - 114 MBTrailer Hitch has seen STAR WARS EPISODE IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER... and Kevin & James have opinions!
