Welcome to The Green Band — the podcast that explores movie trailers, entertainment, and apparently the future of content creation on the internet. That’s right -- Michael is at VidCon in Anaheim! This week, we’re checking out trailers for The Lost Bus — finally, a story for everyone who’s ever missed their ride and thought, “This could totally be a feature film.” Also, The Naked Gun is back, baby — proving once again that slapstick comedy never dies… it just gets recast. Then there’s Eddington, a period drama that stars at least one actor who’s definitely going to win something… even if it’s just our respect. And finally, Superman in IMAX. Because what’s better than watching a superhero save the world? Watching it on a screen so big you can see his pores. So get ready and strap in for a good time! This is The Green Band.

This week, The Green Band is coming to you LIVE from SCV CineFest—where the tacos are spicy, the gear is expensive, and the bear mascot may or may not be method acting. The Green Band is the podcast that breaks down your favorite trailers so you can impress strangers with your film knowledge while you’re in line for free beer. This week we have four trailers that will really make you ask: Are we okay, Hollywood? Happy Gilmore 2 – because nothing says legacy sequel like a 60-year-old man in basketball shorts yelling at a golf ball. Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein – where the monster journals his feelings and shops at Hot Topic. Alien: Earth – where the xenomorphs are back and apparently allergic to peace and quiet. And Avengers: Ozsemble, oh I’m sorry, we mean Wicked: For Good – the musical so nice, they charged us twice. So crack open something bubbly, hug your local monster, and let’s get into The Green Band LIVE!
