Awesome Honest Trailers

With the new Wonka movie hitting theaters, Honest Trailers thought it might be fun to revisit Willy Wonka’s last appearance on the big screen. Their roast of Tim Burton’s creepy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reminds us just how weird Johnny Depp is, and just how psychopathic the chocolatier could be.

The 95th Academy Award winners will be announced on Sunday, March 12, 2023. To celebrate the awards, Screen Junkies looks back at the movies nominated for Best Picture and offers their snarky take on some great films like the wildly inventive Everything Everywhere All at Once and the enigmatic Banshees of Inisherin.

Just 17 years too late, Screen Junkies is here with their take on these mother-f**king snakes on this mother-f**king plane. We still have no idea how the makers of this completely implausible B-movie ever got an actor of Samuel L. Jackson’s caliber to sign on, but it’s a camp classic for the ages.

(Spoilers) Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion is a wonderfully entertaining mystery that both pokes fun at and embraces the old whodunnit genre. Screen Junkies offers a playful roasting of the mystery and its colorful cast of characters. And we finally learn who voiced the Hourly Dong.

(Spoilers) If you watched Andor season one, you know that it’s one of the best and most intelligent Star Wars stories yet. But Honest Trailers must have found something about the series to complain about, right? Or maybe they’ll just moan about all the other Star Wars stuff it’s better than.

She-Hulk season one is over, and while it isn’t the greatest Marvel show ever, we got some good laughs from its self-referential humor. Screen Junkies offers up their smart-alecky critique of the show, including its lack of courtroom drama, Tatiana Maslany’s improbable dating problems, and its Deus ex Kevin Feige.

The Hulk and Thor have joined forces in the MCU, but this isn’t the first time they got together on screen. In 1988, the made-for-TV movie Incredible Hulk Returns brought back Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in an overacting competition with Eric Allan Kramer as a fair-haired Viking warrior who laughs way too much.

Now that we’ve watched the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, we know more about how things played out between Episode III and Rogue One. Screen Junkies offers their snarky take on the show, its reliance on the popular badass protects insouciant kid trope, and how cutting the prequels down to a 3-minute montage makes them good.

“He’s ready to put the ‘goth’ back in ‘Gotham.” Screen Junkies takes on the literally darkest of the Dark Knight’s movies with an Honest Trailer for The Batman. Along the way, they critique Bruce Wayne’s detective skills, Riddler’s fashion choices, Colin Farrell’s looks, and the movie’s 2-hour 56-minute runtime.

The James Bond movie No Time to Die marked the final performance of Daniel Craig as 007. It offered a satisfying end to this incarnation of Bond, though it wasn’t perfect. Screen Junkies offers their snarky take on the 2-hour and 43-minute spy flick, and its hero’s transition from swaggering ladies’ man to exhausted dad.

We really enjoyed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Except for the typical MCU CGI battle scene at the end, it offered a fresh approach to the superhero genre by making a fun martial arts movie instead. Screen Junkies enjoyed it too, but still took an opportunity to roast some of its more clichéd moments.

Denis Villeneuve’s introduction to the world of Dune was truly epic but left audiences hanging in the end. Screen Junkies throws a little shade at the filmmaker for living up to some grand expectations, then yanking the rug out from under us right before the credits rolled.

(Gore) We were glued to our screen for every minute of Invincible season one. Robert Kirkman’s animated series has great characters, amazing action, visceral violence, and packs an emotional punch. Still, Screen Junkies managed to find a few things to poke fun at, especially the protagonist’s tendency to over-apologize.

To celebrate their 400th Honest Trailer, Screen Junkies takes on not one or two movies, but the entire DC Extended Universe – a series of questionably dark and brooding superhero movies that started with 2013’s Man of Steel. Despite their many flaws, we still keep coming back for more.

(Spoilers) By the time we finished watching WandaVision, we were in love with the series. But, like many of you, we were perplexed by the first couple of episodes, and didn’t know where the journey might take us. Screen Junkies offers their take on the emotional rollercoaster that has us very excited for MCU Phase 4.

Skadoosh! Sure, Kung Fu Panda was formulaic and filled with clichés and fat jokes, but it was still incredibly entertaining. Screen Junkies looks back at the star-studded flick, and how it managed to rise above the rampant mediocrity of other non-Pixar animated movies.
