In this episode of Trailer Talk, Dan and I look at January 2020 and talk about A Quiet Place: Part II, and whether JJ Abrams is disappointed he didn’t get the chance to add A Quiet Place into the Cloverfield franchise, Tenet, and how Christopher Nolan is creative insofar as he’s allowed to have men wear suits and ties while talking somberly in an office building, Morbius, a movie that I literally forgot we talked about and still can’t take seriously, and The New Mutants, which is honestly our most anticipated movie of 2018!
January 2020 gave us a very strange batch of trailers, and I think it’s a common thread that, through-out our discussion, we’re far more interested in what’s going on behind the scenes with these movies than the movies themselves. Sometimes, that’s where the better story is, but we’re still hoping these movies turn out great.
To get the most out of Trailer Talk we recommend tuning in to the podcast above.
