Episode 82: "... WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" / The Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby / TitRV: Little Monsters
December 02, 2019 09:53 - 54 minutes - 75.4 MBJames & Kevin decide if the new Cats trailer is top of the feline, marvel at a great juxtaposition in Antebellum, and commit regicide with The Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby. Then, the boys get their first instance where a trailer wildly mis-sold a movie! They dive into the implications of dramatically altering the story for a trailer (especially when it's a better creative choice) while giving Little Monsters a fair shake on its own merit as a film.
Episode 81: "Don't Punch a Cow, Man" / Fantasy Island / The Invisible Man / Clio Award Votes
November 18, 2019 06:16 - 55 minutes - 76.8 MBJames and Kevin run head first into the new Sonic The Hedgehog trailer, taking in both its new design and storytelling approach, sell their souls to get a peak at Pixar's latest teaser for Soul, get more than they bargained for on Fantasy Island, and (somehow) see The Invisible Man. After establishing their clout in the world of movie trailer reviews, the boys audition for the Clio Awards, a marketing committee that commends the year's best trailers. They pick the winners while pitching wh...
Episode 80: "I Feel it in My Knees" / Little Joe / The Grudge / The Aeronauts / TitRV: Zombieland 2: Double Tap
November 04, 2019 17:48 - 48 minutes - 66.9 MBHalloween has come and gone, and to accommodate for that, James & Kevin... mostly review horror trailers. They see what Little Joe has grown into with a new trailer, wonder if they can let go of their issues with The Grudge, and pass out over The Aeronauts. Then, they do a Trailer in the Rearview on Zombieland 2: Double Tap, hoping the "comedy" comes through more in "horror" because, again, they should really be on to Thanksgiving at this point...
BONUS! Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Final Trailer Review!
October 22, 2019 20:02 - 30 minutes - 41.4 MBWith an internet (and New York Jets) breaking trailer, James & Kevin record a bonus episode for Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. They talk about JJ Abrams's growth as a visual director, the mirrors between the final trailer of the new trilogy with the first trailer of the new trilogy, and how the strongest force of evil in the galaxy appears to be an angry chair. May the Hitchhikers be with you. Always.
Episode 79: "The Gorilla Gives the Best Performance" / Jungle Cruise / Bombshell / Tenet / TitRV: Joker
October 21, 2019 08:56 - 1 hour - 125 MBIn this extended, special episode, James & Kevin figure out if they'll throw a bone to Lady & The Tramp, then... er, figure out if they'll throw a bone to Doolittle. This is the first time we could use the same pun twice in an episode, so forgive us for the double dip. Then, the boys get sea-sick while watching Jungle Cruise, get in the epicenter of Bombshell, and give their (very) abridged thoughts on Tenet. To cap it all off, James & Kevin give you their (very) unabridged thoughts on J...
Episode 78: "Now We're Doubly Emancipated" / Richard Jewell / Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
October 07, 2019 06:13 - 49 minutes - 67.9 MBJames & Kevin are mostly doing repair work this week, tuning up trailers previously reviewed! They find their King's Man again, warn their past selves that there's another Terminator: Dark Fate trailer, and while they have the opportunity to travel through time, head on back to 1917. Long as they're in a repair shop, they take a look at El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie before finding the bomb in Richard Jewell and determining if Birds of Prey takes flight.
Episode 77: "Hell Yeah! FERNS!" / Countdown / The Secret Garden
September 23, 2019 09:26 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBJames & Kevin finish setting the table with the second trailer for Knives Out. Next, they bring the house down with Countdown, and tend to The Secret Garden. They also finally named the segment where they watch an older movie trailer! In the newly christened Backup Camera, the boys compare The Secret Garden remake to the trailer for the 1993 version of the same film.
Episode 76: "StarWarsville? You Trash Human Being" / Lady and The Tramp / Between Two Ferns: The Movie / Bad Boys For Life
September 09, 2019 03:51 - 1 hour - 99.7 MBWhile LA basks in a heatwave, James & Kevin bring the heat with this packed episode. They begin with a deep dive into the Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker special look that dropped at D23, speculating on whether Rey will join the Dark Side (and conclude quickly: no.) Next, they tune up a gaggle of trailers they've already reviewed, seeing if they're still laughing at Joker, whether their opinions of Terminator: Dark Fate has been sealed, and bounce after a second look at Jojo Rabb...
Episode 75: "An Infinitely Better Wig" / Bombshell / Mystery Trailers / The Island of Dr. Moreau
August 26, 2019 05:11 - 51 minutes - 70.9 MBA plethora of trailers forces James & Kevin to get creative... well, not too creative, since all they have at their disposal is a hat and some paper. But they use these to full effect, letting happenstance and a whiskey-addled hand decide what they'll be reviewing this episode. Will you hear about Underwater, and how it looks like Event Horizon in an entirely different horizon? The hat will decide! As for their locks, the boys get to the epicenter of Bombshell, and look back at The Islan...
Episode 74: "Long in the Face" / 1917 / The Lighthouse / Little Monsters
August 12, 2019 08:13 - 51 minutes - 70.2 MBAlas, we finally got negative feedback... about James' face, no less. But the boys remain undeterred by their first piece of criticism and run headlong into the world of trailers! They apply a coat of paint to The Irishman, get into some pretty hardcore history with 1917, weather the storm of The Lighthouse, and get spooked by Little Monsters. Not only do they look at the trailers of today, but the trailers of yesteryear too (well, 2002), taking a look at a piece of history that finally...
Episode 73: The Assassination of Trailer Hitch Comic-Conquerers by the Coward Non Comic-Con Trailers Released During Comic Con Week: The Kevin James Story (Not That Kevin James)
July 29, 2019 05:02 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBA long list of trailers requires a long title, and the boys are prepared to tackle both (well, James is, he came up with the title). This week, James and Kevin go through the Comic-Con trailers while also going through the trailers that debuted during Comic-Con week outside of Comic-Con week (was there a competing convention across the street?!) They give their thoughts on all The King's Man has to offer, get low for Hustlers, close the book on It: Chapter Two's final trailer, say death ...
Episode 72: "It's Almost as Good as Stone" / Knives Out / Judy / Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein
July 15, 2019 05:32 - 51 minutes - 71.1 MBJames & Kevin hit the Teaser Trailer Showroom to ponder whether the lack of Mulan dressing as a man in the teaser means they're getting rid of a core element, or if they just showed us the end of the film (also, NO MUSHU, WHAT'S THE DEAL?!) Next, they sharpen their wits for Knives Out, head somewhere over the rainbow to find the Judy trailer, and then watch the Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein trailer to see if it's alive.

Then, they analyze the hedge maze that is the Doctor Sleep trailer, give an up-to-date opinion about The Current War, and cap the night on cloud nine with Charlie's Angels. Worth noting...
Episode 70: "The Model That Appreciated Land Value" / Frozen 2 / Terminator: Dark Fate / The Golden Trailer Awards
June 17, 2019 09:59 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBFresh from the pretentiousness of Cannes, James and Kevin return to the States where they find out that there's evidently an awards show for trailers that takes place, like, 10 miles from where they live. Jetlagged and bitter about being snubbed for an invite, the pair go through the categories and winners, giving insight into the winners through the perspective of professional trailer critics, and saying if and when they would have a "Kanye Moment" to bum rush the stage to call out a winner...
Episode 69: "Baguettetown" / Spider-Man: Far From Home / Cannes-Quest 2019
June 03, 2019 07:33 - 1 hour - 101 MBJames & Kevin swing with Peter Parker to the UK, grappling with the implications of including spoilers for a movie that came out three weeks prior in a trailer, wondering if having a villain from an alternate dimension lessens our ability to empathize with them, and whether or not the dick-punch gag worked. With an abundance of trailers dropping left and right, the boys take Spiderman's lead and sod off to Europe, embarking on their third Cannes-Quest. They assess the trailers, clips, or l...
Episode 68: #JusticeForBullies / TiTRV's: Us & Shazam
May 20, 2019 07:22 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MBJames & Kevin keep lookin' back in the rearview, determining if anything in Us made them untethered, and if lightning finally struck in the DC Universe with Shazam.

They take a machete to The Dead Don't Die, spy My Spy with their little eyes, and take a gander at a trailer some people call the gangster of love... they're wrong, of course, because ...
