Red Carpet to Trailer Trash: Recent Episodes
Ian Collins and Connor Rock
We're just two guys talking about movies. Do we know a whole lot about movies? Nah. Are there too many movie podcasts? Yeah. But its not our premise thats original, its the friends we're making along the way.
F*** your pretentious reviews, were here to talk about movies.
A tale as old as time. A big monkey trying to get some godzussy. Does it have character arcs? Themes? Stakes? Nah. Buts its pretty fun and has some cool shots.
No joke this is probably the best episode we've ever done - decide for yourself if thats sad or not. Ian talks about Bob Wick aka Nobody and then the guys look ahead to this weekend (thats right THIS weekend - this episode is out on time) to trailers for Unholy, Every Breath You Take, French Exit, and Oak Room.
They guys are finally getting around to talking about the Snyder Cut or at least Connor is because Ian didn't goddamn see it. Also they round out the Oscar trailers by talking about, well, all the rest of the big anticipated trailer and also Nobody.
This episode is older, but with Monkey v Lizard coming out this weekend we thought wed wait until now to look at the Monsterverse and all the movies it contains.
In this episode the guys discuss possibly the worst (as in most evil) character ever brought to film and then touch on how the Snyder Cut of JL could save the DCEU (but not really sad face).
This time the guys are seeing what all the buzz about Nomadland is and take a look at the live action movie adaptation nobody wanted. These may never get longer again.
In this Episode the guys talk in depth about a topic neither one of them knows anything about really and then, back to normal, Ian sees a movie Connor didn't and gives a run down.
This year the guys are talking about WW:84 aka Wonder Woman 1984 aka WW84 aka Weighty Four and here's a spoiler: they don't like it. Okay well they pay me by the characters I don't use so imma dip. Have fun.
"I don't know enough about snails not to be scared." That's right! This week the guys are joined by Codey Perrone of Lachinsky Reviews and they are talking all things horror. Its a rather on-track episode which is unusual for this podcast, and in it the now-trio talk about Hereditary, Host, The Wretched, The Taking of Deborah Logan, The Saw Franchise, Paranormal Activity, The Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, It Follows, and probably a few more I honestly don't remember. Fear not, its not all talking shop as they also get into conversations about the worst horror villain/monster to deal with in real life, whether its worth $10K to be killed by a snail, Stephen King being a creep, and Codey creates a new genre called "Pervy Horror." Its a blast. Hope you voted.
Find Codey Here: @Lachinsky_Reviews
Because you would honestly get more out of reading his IG for 3 minutes than listening to our usual episodes for an hour.
This Episode the guys are talking The Haunting of Hill House and everything it did right for the horror genre. But not right away. They spend a fair bit of time discussing video games so just heads up about that, unless you like that sort of thing then let us know cause for every movie not released there's about 5 Video games that are. Did that make sense? I don't care. This episode also settles the dispute over what genre of movie Alien is. Oh! and they take a turn around Connor's Spooky Corner to discuss Jessabelle, a horror movie set in spooky Louisiana and that's all I know about it. Neato!
Welcome to October, at least I think this is the first episode we're releasing in October. I'm sure as shit not gonna check. Anyway, this week the guys are taking a look at Quantum of Solace, that 007 movie no one likes? everyone likes? and Pet Semetary, a movie about the consequences of truck drivers trying to avoid weigh stations. This episode also features recommended Switch games, board game publishing tips (?), Ian's wonky shoulder, and, most importantly, a return to Connor's Spooky Corner which didn't change its name because our lawyer said the alternatives would raise too many questions. Enjoy (?).
The guys are back after taking a week off and boy does it show. When they aren't cutting each other off or talking over one another, they manage to have a pretty in depth discussion about The Devil All the Time, AKA Tom Holland and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Things digress from there because rather than talk about the trailers for the other three films, the guys instead decide to talk about M. Night Shyamalan movies and discuss, at length, the Invisible Man because Connor finally saw it because he's a jackass. Don't worry they still touch on the trailers and give their predictions cause I know you're all here for that. lol.
This Week Ian explains what movie theaters are like in 2020 pandemic times (Better?), and then spends a bit of time simping for Christopher Nolan as the guys take a fairly complete and spoiler-free look at Tenet. They also talk about the other movies that dared show their faces in theaters. Not looking good for two out of those three but who knows, maybe Selena Gomez is a savvy Producer now. That's about it check it out.
Ohhhhhh Boyyyyyy Movie trailers are back and this week the guys are taking a look at The New Mutants, Tenet and Unhinged. Ian pulled a sneaky one and actually went to see The New Mutants so there is a whole ass new(ish) movie review right here in this episode. I never thought we'd see this day. The guys make some predictions for Tenet and Unhinged - for Unhinged the predictions are mostly that its gonna be bad. Oh and they also talk about Nightcrawler I guess just so Connor still feels included idk. Check it out there's some goodies inside.
Hey whats up. We got Mad Max and everything wrong with it (its a lot) and Sucker Punch and then a bit about how much it would cost to let someone shoot you with a shotgun and that's pretty much it. Okay. Stop reading this. Its only gonna waste your time. Bye. For Real. L8r.
Don't look down here
I Don't know why were sticking to this weird numbering but I only write the descriptions. This week the guys are talking princesses, frogs, tigers, and hunters and all the things that movies about those subjects might involve. Did that make sense? Sure. Also Connor tells a sweet, sweet joke from last week, the guys try to figure out what characters would be committed to the the Disney Mental Hospital, and they also debate the age old question: Did Edward Cullen ever try to f**k a fish? Lets find out together. Like a family.
Alright I'm gonna put this here to get it out of the way: this episode, the last episode, and probably the next few are gonna be released out of order because time is a flat circle these days so if the guys talk about happenings in the upcoming episode remember that they were, in some cases, recorded months ago. I guess they weren't happy having a bad podcast, they wanted to make it bad and also a tiny bit confusing, who knows. OK cool. Anyway this episode is about shoot 'em up bang bang movie Starship Troopers and sweet heartfelt My Life as a Zucchini. Good stuff amirite? The guys also talk about the very different reasons they would want jury duty and they manage to break Rule 1 of the internet twice. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I get 4000 characters here so like.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Here we go again! This week the guys are joined by a bird that won't shut the hell up, which is pretty dope, and they're talking Palm Springs and E.T.. They also discuss how long they think they would last in a time loop before trying to kill themselves, and how the continuing pandemic is really getting to them. Whats also cool about this episode is that if you listen closely, at certain points you can hear Ian regretting his choice of co-host. Oh and if you love E.T be warned: Ian goes on kinda a long rant about some of its more bullshit parts and it honestly makes him sound almost pro-government which is terrifying. Congrats for listening.
Finance, Accounting, The Difference Between Finance and Accounting, Hostiles, Cooking Mistakes, The Disaster Artist, The Supreme Court. Only two of those are movies, but all 7 will be discussed on this week's episode of Why Are We Still Doing This: A Look At Sanity and Boredom.
This week the guys are discussing Moonlight, a very good movie that won a few Oscars and got Ian to like at least one coming of age story. The guys are also talking about The Island of Doctor Moreau, an absolute bonkers movie that is only surpassed in crazy points by the story of its production, which is really most of what they talk about. There's some stuff about an air fryer too and Ian once again expresses his hatred for Lady Bird, but that's not super important. Have fun?
Was Friends a good show? Are colleges willing to risk their student's health to get that sweet sweet monay? Are Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and The Witch good movies? Am I running out of Questions to pose? Find out right now on Red Carpet to Trailer Trash with hosts Ian and Ry-Connor.
This week the guys finally settle the age old debate of which gas station has the best food: Wawa, Sheetz, or the other one? Also, Ian bought a new desk chair that might as well be the third host of this episode cause it won't shut up. And finally, we get a look into Connor's life of breaking every glass he owns a.k.a. slowly losing all coordination, but don't worry they don't forget to throw some up to the main man J.C. what am I even writing anymore? Oh, and they talk about the movies in the title too. They're good....I think was the consensus IDK man.
This week the guys are talking about Hail, Caesar! and Philadelphia in between conversations about Avatar: the Last Air Bender (or ATLAB as the fans say), working off that quarantine beer belly, who is really qualified to be called "Doctor" (you prolly wont like it), and the more depressing parts of catholic school. There ya go.
We had to let the guy from last week go for being too aggressive, sorry about that one everyone. Anywho, this week the guys are talking about Road to Perdition, an actual good movie for once, and The Lobster, a movie that made Ian want to kill himself (his words). In and around they also beg forgiveness for the cultural appropriation crimes they may have committed on Cinco de Mayo, slut shame New York City for its dirty metal tubes, and spend far too long trying to figure out what that one Kevin Bacon movie was (not Footloose). So swing on by and just remember: Tom Hanks is everyone's dad.
Back at it again for reasons only they know, the guys discuss the sweaty topics others wont even mention because they are cowards! They're talking Wrinkles the Clown and the documentary about him that lies to the viewers for half the film then tells them about it, They're talking Oreo truffles, They're talking Sheetz food (its not just a gas station grown up you hooligan), and they're talking a little bit of Arrested Development, which isn't as funny as everyone thinks it is, I said it! They also knock out The Florida Project, a movie about the people I met on my family vacation that one year, and A Serious Man, a movie about.... uh... stuff happening to a guy? Whatever, come listen or you're a coward too! HRRRRGGGHHHHHUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
This weeks episode is wonky AF. The guys take a look at two folk/superstitious horror movies: The (OG) Wicker Man, a movie about a cop trying to kink shame Christopher Lee, and The Light House, a movie about how more people should have kink shamed Robert Pattinson. But don't worry, they also cover the much more interesting topics of what Ian's doing for his birthday (its drinking), the new editing technique Connor is using (its trying), and the amount of overlap among Bronies and Furries (its terrible). Also Ian's neighbor's dog returns as a special guest! What a time to be alive.
This week the guys talk a little Covid-19 conspiracy theory and analyze the behavior of Donald Trump, which boils down to be pretty simple, and they try to figure out if Connor is guilty of hate speech. After they get that out of the way, they talk about Brawl in Cell Block 99, a movie where Vince Vaughn beats some people up to stop what the far right thinks Planned Parenthood is, and Connor fulfills a promise made in episode, like, 4 about revisiting The Hangover and giving it another chance. There's also some talk about Seinfeld and why its/hes not as good as people seem to think, and a pretty intense debate about Akon's best achievement. This is where I'd put the links to Ian's other podcasts, IF I HAD THEM.
This week, or last week, or whenever they recorded it - time is meaningless now - the guys sit down to talk about Wakefield, a movie where Bryan Cranston somehow married Jennifer Garner, realizes the mistake, and lives in his attic for a year, and Locke, a film where Tom Hardy Drives around and makes phone calls. But before all that you better believe they talk about their favorite Taco Bell orders, the squeaky bed Ian's upstairs neighbors have, and Connor gives what is possibly the worst take on Darwinism. The guys decide to use this episode as a secret corner or whatever Ian said so there's some very boring (just like the rest of the show - GOTTEM) secrets surrendered.
This week the guys chose to talk about The Velvet Buzzsaw and Drive, both found on Netflix and boy do things get slightly interesting. Ian explains why art is so damn expensive and admit that, in a strange twist for this show, he didn't watch Buzzsaw but Connor did and it turns out Ian made the right decision. Boy that sentence was long. Here are some more filler words. The guys also discuss their lives in the Tine (That's the hip way to say quarantine) and do some other entertaining stuff that I cant think of right now... I should write these closer to the time of recording.
What a crazy time to be alive! Because there are no more movies the guys have decided to pick movies of of streaming services to review (read: bullshit around) and this week they both happened to pick movies featuring the man of sassy mans, Sam Rockwell. That's right, the guys are talking Moon and Mr. Right, both found on Netflix and both representing the...diversity(?) of Sam Rockwell's Career. There's also the usual amount of bullshit if you're into that sort of thing. Kewl, Bye.
Welp Corona took away the movies, but Ian did manage to sneak in and see The Hunt before the theater's shut down the guys talk about that a little. This is after about 20 minutes of pure nonsense though so don't worry that's still a thing. They then look ahead to The Climb (not the Miley Cyrus Banger) and The Truth (?) Honestly I don"t know if that's what its called but who cares because what even are these movies. So quick recap: This Episode - light on movie talk, heavy on Bullshit. Enjoy
This week the guys talk about more nonsense as this Podcast strays further and further from both God and the original premise. They finally get around to talking about Onward, the new Smurf movie (I think) and then take a little peek at The Hunt and Bloodshot. Ian's phrase of the week is "Built like a Brick Shithouse" with is used to describe both The Rock and that guy from My Name is Earl so who even knows. Come on in, its chill trust me.
This week the guys talk about horrible delivery experiences, nightmares, and an assortment of other nonsense before finally giving what is probably their most thorough review to date of The Invisible Man. The Spooky Corner makes a surprise appearance followed up by an "analysis" of the trailers for Onward, The Way Back, and Beneath Us. Its good in the hood.
This week the guys talk a bit about Connor's recent trip to New Orleans for Marty's Graw (Is that right?) and quickly decide that no one is really free with open container laws in place and that natural selection sometimes looks like a parade float. Ian made the mistake of seeing Brahms: The Boy 2 and yells about it for a little bit. They guys then take a look to next weekend wit ht he releases of The Invisible Man, Whistlers, Burden, and Wendy pretty much deciding, as always, that the movies will probably be pretty good or pretty bad.
This week the guys figure out what happened to vine which is a pretty open and shut case. Ian then talks a bit about Parasite and its many Oscar wins, and the guys name the winner of the Oscars predictions from whatever episode that was. Ian actually saw Sonic and Fantasy Island so he gives his take on those (we're sorry Sonic). Then the guys look ahead to The Boy 2: Can We Annabelle This, Call of the Wild, and Emma. Its lit.
This week the guys get real side tracked real fast and end up deciding that grandpa Joe is an asshole. Then Ian gives his opinion on Birds of Prey or whatever its called now after the rename. Finally the guys discuss all the sexy sexy movies that are coming out this valentines day.
This week the guys talk about the Rhythm section which is good cause that means its the last time I'm gonna have to spell rhythm for another ten years. There's some brief talk about pooping pants (everyone does at one point, that's science) and then they move on to make predictions about The Lodge and Birds of Prey or Did You Learn Nothing From Suicide Squad. I'm sure there's some other stuff in there but to be honest I didn't really listen. Happy 20 episodes!
This week the guys talk hot coffee and and lawsuits before diving into a review of the Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen. Next they look ahead to The Rhythm Section and Gretel and Hansel with only a quick break to discuss the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. The Spooky Corner makes an unexpected appearance so some new problems with IT Chapter 2 can be hashed out. Its a time.
Oh boy is this episode and episode! This week the guys begin a little differently with a run down of all the Oscar categories/nominations and their pick for the winner of each. Ian gives well thought out answers with reasoning behind them and Connor, well, he just guesses but is feeling super confident about most of them. Then the guys take a look at the trailers for The Last full Measure, The Turning, and The Gentlemen which leave them, for the first time in a while, optimistic.
This week the guys share their New Year's goals (not resolutions) then talk about the cinematic marvel that is 1917, with a rather long tangent about Roger Deakins and his craft. Connor Shares some stories from Law School and Ian shares some of his favorite RDJ stories. The guys also Talk about Bad Boys 3: Too Many Boys and Doolittle before calling it a day.
This week the guys got together to discuss/analyze/voice their qualms of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, because for the first time in RCTT history BOTH OF THEM SAW THE MOVIE and oh boy do they have a lot to say. (although it is much more positive than I would have originally guessed and is pretty much rainbows compared to their opinions of The Last Jedi. Then they take same very short looks at the trailers for Like a Boss, Underwater, and 1917.
In this episode the guys look forward to The Grudge and give their opinions and analysis of the trailers, then the guys review... EVERY GOOD MOVIE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS (give or take). Yep, they're seeing off 2019 and the 2010's with a look back at some of the best and some of their favorite movies of the decade. Sifting through each genre, they decide what films were the best of the decade and dish out some recommendations.
This week its all Star Wars (and a little Richard Jewell) as the guys look forward to the premiere of Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. There's a lot to say about the Skywalker saga and the guys spend their time talking about all the bests and worsts of Star Wars cinema. Full disclosure: they talk a bit about some more obscure stuff from the old EU so if any of that is wrong just come fight them! Double full disclosure: if you liked The Last Jedi this episode maybe isn't for you.
This week the guys sit down to talk about The Irishman which takes a while but not nearly as long as the movie's run time. Then they do a rapid fire trailer analysis of Jumanji: The Next Level, Black Christmas, Bombshell, Uncut Gems, and Richard Jewell. Its a long one, and its a...well its mostly just pretty okay.
Ian weighs in on Knives Out, exploring the whimsy, twists and murder. The guys then talk about The "Maybe This Will Work for Us like it did for Lego" movie, take some stabs at what they think the Irishman will be, and finally discuss WHY THE CATS LOOK LIKE PEOPLE OH GOD WHO GREEN LIGHTED THIS?!
This week the guys talk about sandwiches, Cars, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, almost Frozen 2, the next Pixar movies, Frozen 2, Ford v Ferrari, Dark Waters, Ian's friend's grandpa's lungs, Flea, Queen and Slim, Knives Out, and Michael Cera. In that Order.
We're Back! The guys are talking about all of the above, albeit briefly because this episode features a lot of nonsense and bullshittery. Our editor also kinda half-assed it so I'm half-assing it here. Thanks to our sponsor: The legume industry.
This week the guys talk about Terminator: Dark Fate and only Terminator: Dark Fate because Ian apparently felt life half-assing it. They then look at the some trailers (they're in the title, you can read) and the general consensus seems pretty bleak. Connor managed to be right about two things this week for a new record, and finally the guys give you recommendations of good series to watch because who even knows what this is about anymore.
In this week';s edition Ian gives his thoughts on The Current War and Black and Blue. The guys then criticize the Wizard of Oz because they weren't quite done with Judy Garland. Ian lectures Connor about the history of cinema, and then the guys talk a bit about the trailer you read in the title I'm not gonna type those again.
This week Ian talks about Maleficent: I Didn't Look Up the Subtitle and Zombieland 2: Double Tap. One of those is better received you'll never guess which. The guys then look at trailers for The Current War, Black and Blue, and Countdown. Connor takes you back to the spooky corner with two more horror movies and says the dumbest thing that has been said on this show to date.
In this weeks episode the guys discuss whether The Hangover deserves the all the comedic acclaim it received, try to figure out if Danny DeVito was in Jumanj, and decide that its dumb to get mad at Call of Duty for making one team Nazis. In between all that Ian reviews the Addams Family and the guys take a look at the trailers for Maleficent, Zombieland 2, and Jojo Rabbit. Also this week: the first segment of Connor's Spooky Corner so buckle up.
This week Ian gives a pretty thorough review of Joker, and then the guys give not so thorough analyses of Gemini Man and The Addams Family. They do, however, spend some time trash talking two A-List actors and talking semi-deeply about the MCU. Ian's phrase of the week is "crowbarring" and to anyone who was looking forward to learning more about the Creepypasta Connor mentioned last week: prepare to be disappointed
Ian talks briefly about Abominable before the guys go down a very strange rabbit hole that actually works out pretty well as a segue. Then, for maybe the first time, the guys give a somewhat in-depth analysis of the Joker trailers and make predictions about the film. Then they get distracted again. They didn't get distracted enough to bring up Judy though, so if you're here for that (Why?) I just saved you some time.
Ian gives a surprising review of hustlers (we're sorry) and a not so surprising review of Ad Astra while Connor wonders if Tommy Lee Jones is ever coming back from space. The guys then look ahead to the Abominable movie (not Cats) and spend some timing talking shit on American sweetheart Judy Garland.
In this episode Ian gives his thoughts on IT Chapter 2, the guys alienate some of their audience talking about Hustlers, and then they try to figure out just what the hell is going on in Goldfinch while being only slightly offensive. You'll never know what Ian said, although it probably didn't need censored.
In the inaugural episode of Red Carpet to Trailer Trash, Connor and Ian sit down to talk about Angel has Fallen, the third installment (two too many if you ask me) in the Fallen franchise. They then turn to take a look at the trailers for IT Chapter 2 and make predictions for the movie based on the book. They do all of this while proving both know very little about movies.
