Trailers from Geek Buddies

I was watching the Geek Buddies on YouTube today, which is a podcast with John Rocha, Michael Vogel and Shannon McClung. During their weekly show, they typically talk about new trailers and so I figured I could add the trailers to this post.

Lisa Frankenstein

This looks kind of funny. It could be a fantastic film or a complete nightmare. Kathryn Newton leads the film.

Fargo Season 5

It has been awhile since I watched a season of Fargo. This trailer looks to have the oddball charm and bizarre feel of the best of this anthology series. By Nov. 21, Loki, Goosebumps will be done, maybe I’ll give this one a looksee.

Maestro Trailer 2

This is the Netflix movie, directed by Bradley Cooper, featuring the story of the relationship between icon Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein.

You should definitely give The Geek Buddies a try if you have not watched it before. John, Michael and Shannon have chemistry all over the place and they are always funny. They give some excellent opinions on geek culture and are always engaging.

The Iron Claw Trailer

I was unaware that there was a movie in the works telling the tragic story of the Von Erich family. Not only is there a movie, it is being made by A24.

The Von Erichs were a family of wrestlers, six sons of family patriarch Fritz Von Erich. Of the six sons, five died and three of them were by suicide.

This trailer looked amazing, with the time frame looking perfect. I am very anxious to see the story unfold.

The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, with Holt McCallany and Lily James.

The film is released December 22.

The October 13

October is the month of my favorite holiday, Halloween. And I was considering doing a DailyView of horror/thriller/Halloween movies to celebrate. However, I realized that, with school underway, the multiple TV shows I am watching (Loki starts this week, Gen V, American Horror Story), the X-Files rewatch, the normal movie reviews, Comic Cavalcades, and, you know, sleeping, I did not have the time to guarantee a movie a day.

So instead, I decided that I would pre-select a list of movies to watch during the month, wherever they fall.

Since there will be a Friday the 13th this month, I chose the number 13. I have selected 13 movies to watch during the month of October in celebration of Halloween.

I had no specifics for the movies except they had to fit into the theme of the month. Except, of course, they had to be movies that I did not already write a review that was active on the site. I spent almost and hour and a half researching movies looking for horror/Halloween/thrillers that I had yet to review and that was tough. Some horror movies have pretty generic titles and I was not sure if I had seen it yet. With the new search function at EYG though, I could decide if I had written about them yet.

Of the 13 films, I have seen 10 of them before, making those a rewatch. There are three that are new to me. None of them are from 2023.

When I watch one of the films below, I will change the color to this.

Here, in no specific order, are the 13 films selected as The October 13:

Apostle (2018) -Netflix

Jennifer’s Body (2009)- Max

The Mist (2007)- Prime

The Amityville Horror (1979)-Max

Monster House (2006)- Hulu

Coraline (2009)- Max

The Ring (2002)- Prime

Sleepy Hollow (1999)- Max

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)-Apple TV

Slither (2006) – Prime

From Hell (2001) – Max

Saw (2004)- Hulu

Casper (1995)- Netflix

So here we go… Happy Halloween to all of the EYG Nation!

Argylle Official Trailer

This looks absolutely insane.

A spy thriller with an unbelievable cast.

They had me with John Cena. His appearance looked epic… and then it got wild.

Add Bryce Dallas Howard, Henry Cavill, Bryan Cranston, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Samuel L. Jackson, Sofia Boutella, Sam Rockwell, and Chip the cat, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn.

Matthew Vaughn is the director and this trailer really excited me for a film that I had no idea about before today.

Coming in February 2024.

Gen V Official Redband Trailer

Okay, this Boys spin-off (or series that falls in the same universe) is going to debut this weekend (officially September 29th) and so I thought this was a good trailer to revisit.

Gen V feels like the concept of the X-Men, a school that trains the future heroes. Of course, much like the Boys itself, this looks way bloodier than any X-Men product I have seen (even more than Logan).

The character called “Bloody Marie” looks extremely intriguing. That is not her actual character name, but it sounded cool.

I will be curious to see if this new series can be anywhere near as entertaining as The Boys, because if it is, this will be an awesome show.

It debuts on Prime.

Squid Game: The Challenge Trailer

I thought this was the new trailer for the Squid Game 2 coming soon to Netflix.

It’s not.

I actually found another trailer for the show, but it was one of those fan made ones. I hate those because they are done so well these days that you can’t really tell if they are official.

This trailer is Squid Game: The Challenge, a new reality show/game show based on the Squid Game. I hadn’t heard anything about this show, but it does seem weird.

I can’t imagine that there would be anything near as intense or exciting about this as the series. I may give it a chance. It is on Netflix.

Trailers with Nic Cage

Two new trailers starring the ever amazing Nicholas Cage…

First, Butcher’s Crossing:

And following that, A24’s new film, Dream Scenario…

I’m not sure that you can get two more diverse roles/films releasing at the same time. Both of these trailers look great and Nic Cage seems to be at the top of his game.

Dream Scenario looks funny and it has the A24 reputation behind it. Butcher’s Crossing was filmed last year and is just now coming out.

Nic Cage certainly works a lot. He is a great actor and these both look fabulous.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes Trailer

Wasn’t sure why we needed a prequel to the Hunger Games franchise.

I guess this is from a book by Suzanne Collins, the author of the original three books. I did not know that until I read some comments on this video’s YouTube page. I’m not sure that piece of information changed my opinion of the need for this.

The trailer itself looks good and the characters are intriguing. And you can never go wrong with Viola Davis.

Plus, there just seems to be something about Rachel Zegler. The actress from Spielberg’s West Side Story and the DC film Shazam! Fury of the Gods shines in this trailer, her presence just jumping off the screen.

Having you future villain as the protagonist of your film is not a new idea…ahem Anakin… but Snow could turn out to be compelling. We’ll have to see.

Honestly, I was not anticipating this movie much, and after this trailer, my interest is piqued a touch, but it has not moved up my list much. I will see it on its opening weekend and I did like the Hunger Games films so hopefully this will be worth its existence.
