Earlier this month, Netflix announced that comedian Michelle Wolf—of Daily Show and White House Correspondents Dinner fame/infamy (delete as appropriate to your personal feelings on Sarah Sanders’ smoky eye)—would be getting her own show on the service. The Break will serve as the service’s latest attempt to get…
Between furry sex, fan fiction, and quicksand porn, it’s never been a better time to be a sex weirdo. (We use that term with nothing but affection, by the way.) And now we’ve got The Happytime Murders, the new millennium’s answer to Meet The Feebles that’s all but guaranteed to give at least one impressionable young…
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, where dreams can come true (provided those dreams are of trailers and promotional videos for TV shows and films). We’re running a little light today—although if you’re hankering for more teasers, you can check out our coverage of CBS’s new fall shows right here—but we do have two…
Stephen Colbert and Candice Bergen added some spice to CBS’s upfront presentation today, with the Late Show openly mocking the president from the dais while the Murphy Brown star made meta-jabs from within a trailer for the revival. We have that preview and more in today’s installment of Trailer Happy Hour: Upfronts…
Cheer up, sad sacks: There’s someone out there for everyone, even a drunk, miserable sack of shit like you. That’s the message of the new trailer for Destination Wedding, the film that reunites the hottest onscreen Goth betrotheds of 1992, Bram Stoker’s Dracula’s Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves, as two moody…
For pure entertainment value, it’s hard to top the Mission: Impossible series— even the Fast And Furious films lack the consistent track record delivered by the Tom Cruise-led franchise adaptation of the old TV show. Each film is the vision of a different auteur, and yet all have delivered a reliably thrilling…
Longtime A.V. Club readers may remember Joel and Stephen Levinson as two of the masterminds behind 2776: A Musical Journey Through America’s Past, Present, And Future, a 2013 musical comedy album that saw, among other delightfully absurd tracks, Neko Case singing about Star Wars and Aimee Mann serenading David Wain…
We’re still deep in upfront presentations, which means the trailers just keep on comin’. So here’s the latest Trailer Happy Hour: Upfronts Edition, which boasts appearances from Nathan Fillion, James Roday, and, for all you Mentalist fans out there, Robin Tunney.
Yes, this is real life, no, it’s not fantasy: The trailer for the Queen rock biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, starring Rami Malek as frontman and cycling enthusiast Freddie Mercury, was unveiled on YouTube this morning. The production of the film has been famously troubled, losing both original star Sacha Baron Cohen and…
The first trailer for Spike Lee and Jordan Peele’s BlacKkKlansman, the Dave Chappelle sketch that turned out to be a true story that’s now a major feature film, has arrived. Denzel’s son John David Washington stars as Ron Stallworth, a black cop who was able to infiltrate the Klu Klux Klan in 1970s Colorado with the…
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, where we take a dash of movie teasers, a healthy helping of full-blown trailers, and just a soupçon of TV promotion, and boil it all down to a hearty gumbo of easily clickable content. Today we’ve got computers trying to kill people all over the place, so let’s dive right in.
The teaser trailer for Shake Black and Fred Dekker’s sort-of-reboot, sort-of-sequel The Predator—a press release from the studio calls it a “reinvention”—has crash-landed on YouTube. The first footage from the film was unveiled at this year’s CinemaCon in late April, confirming that The Predator takes place between…
Just a few days after releasing the “remixed” fourth season of the beloved dysfunctional-family sitcom, Netflix has released a trailer for the fifth season of Arrested Development. In this era where narcissism and cluelessness are practically prerequisites for public office, Lindsay Bluth (Portia de Rossi) is running…
“Sometimes brutality gets shit done.” That mission statement is spoken by a shirtless Mike Colter in character as Luke Cage, who faces a new threat that might actually be his equal in the second season of his eponymous Netflix series. That threat comes in the form of John McIver (Mustafa Shakir), a.k.a. Bushmaster, a…
A new Ryan Murphy show is always a big deal, since he’s pretty much a guaranteed hit-maker these days, but his upcoming FX series Pose is also a big deal because it’s the first show to ever feature five transgender actors as series regulars (specifically MJ Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Hailie Shar, Angelia Ross, and…
DC’s Green Arrow already has a long-running TV show on The CW, but the hood-wearing, left-leaning vigilante has yet to make a big screen appearance—until now. Alright, this trailer for Robin Hood isn’t really a Green Arrow movie, but move the action from merry olde England to a modern coastal city and the differences…
Hulu’s upfront presentation is taking place this morning in New York City, where the streaming service trumpeted its surging subscriber count and announced the renewal of its flagship series The Handmaid’s Tale. It also debuted a new teaser for Castle Rock, its horror anthology series from Stephen King and J.J. Abrams…
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, the audio-visual Valhalla where all good movie promos go to battle it out eternally for your love, attention, and clicks. Today we’ve got wild parties, police-involved shootings, and an irate Will Arnett busting out ’80s comic trivia, so let’s leap right in.
The first full-length trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man And The Wasp has arrived, and although it still doesn’t explain where Ant-Man and the Wasp were during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, for those who gravitate towards the lighter side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this similarly fleet-footed sequel to the…
We’re still not entirely convinced that Terry Gilliam’s decades-long attempt to make a movie based on Don Quixote is really happening, but every trailer we see for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote provides slightly more evidence that the movie is really going to happen. Just look at the video up there: It has actors,…
