Awesome Honest Trailers

After numerous requests to do Honest Trailers for individual Marvel movies, Screen Junkies smashed the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe into a single clip. Along the way they trash just about every trope, from the confusion of magic, science, and technology, to daddy issues, to their obsession with ’70s and ’80s pop culture.

Con Air is one of the best/worst movies ever made. It’s filled with great actors working well beneath their usual paygrade, chewing scenery, spitting out cheesy dialog, and blowing stuff up. Screen Junkies offers their take on the film that asked us in no uncertain terms to put the bunny back in the box.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Brendan Fraser first appeared in The Mummy, and to celebrate the auspicious anniversary, Screen Junkies is here to lovingly roast the only Mummy movie worth even talking about. Sure, it was an Indiana Jones knockoff, but we still love it.

While we’re not sure how many of you have actually seen Howard the Duck, we have. While it was definitely weird, perhaps audiences just weren’t ready for it. Screen Junkies offers their scathingly funny take on the 1986 Marvel comic book flick that went from box-office bomb to cult classic.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was one of the best movies of 2018, so rather than dig for its flaws, Honest Trailers dives head-first into the madness to explore some of its own multi-dimensional alter-egos.

(PG-13: Language) Screen Junkies pokes fun at this year’s Academy Award nominees and the controversies revolving the ceremony itself. Take your pick from movies with lessons that are obvious yet still unheeded. And Black Panther. Yes it deserves to be there, so stop it.

After its release in 2003, Elf quickly became a modern Christmas classic. Screen Junkies pays tribute to Will Ferrell’s perfect performance as Buddy the Elf in their holiday Honest Trailer, and asks us to give thanks that Jim Carrey turned down the role.

With the new Halloween movie hitting theaters, the guys at Screen Junkies decided to go back to the movie that started it all, John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, and give it the kind of loving, yet snarky tribute it deserves.

“Equipped with a sonic screwdriver and a psychic paper – two devices with the power to speed up the plot.” Screen Junkies takes on the long-running BBC sci-fi series with two Honest Trailers. The first one pokes fun at the modern day version, while the second roasts the classic.

Screen Junkies looks back at a true 1980s classic action film, packed with action, horror, guns, monsters, cloaking devices, explosions, and more jacked-up macho men than you can shake a stick at. And thankfully no Jean-Claude Van Damme in a lobster suit.

“It’s every dad’s paradise, where a father of three children can finally get some peace and quiet…” John Krasinski’s intense horror was a great movie – if nothing else for it’s ability to make audiences be completely silent. Screen Junkies couldn’t resist roasting it anyhow.

From The Dark Knight to Dunkirk, director Christopher Nolan has proven himself as one of today’s greatest fillmakers. Screen Junkies simultaneously honors and roasts Nolan, from his convoluted, non-linear plots, to the repetitive themes throughout his work.

“It all started with Miyamoto seeing ‘King Kong’ and saying, ‘Hey, let’s just do that!'” While we already know the real reason his name is “Donkey,” we still enjoyed Smosh Games‘ parody of Nintendo’s big lug of an ape, and his rise to fame from his early 8-bit arcade days.

Screen Junkies pokes fun at some of the many common themes and techniques found in Wes Anderson’s movies, from the bittersweet family stories, to the visual symmetry, linear camera movements, his meticulous attention to detail, and the Futura font.

Screen Junkies presents their take on summer 2017’s big hit, the over-the-top Thor sequel which trimmed Thor’s lush locks, smashed mighty Mjolnir, and gave us the Goldblum we all deserved. But first, we have to get through the new Marvel logo sequence.

Screen Junkies pokes fun at the nine films nominated for Best Picture Academy Awards this year, from Gary Oldman’s fat suit in The Darkest Hour to the fishy shades of grey in The Shape of Water, to that guy from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

(Spoilers) Screen Junkies takes on one of the best movies of 2017 – a film that deftly combined psychological horror and social commentary, and proved that creepy movies don’t have to be mindless. Seriously, watch this flick a second time if you get a chance.

While only a handful of us will likely subscribe to CBS All Access to watch every episode of Star Trek: Discovery, there are still plenty of places we can rewatch The Next Generation. Screen Junkies is here to remind why we loved the NCC-1701-D and its motley crew.

Screen Junkies takes on the film that put Christopher Nolan on the map, and established his knack for making mindbending and perplexing movies that make you want to go back and watch them 15 times to figure out everything that just happened.

(Spoilers) Screen Junkies reminds us that not every superhero needs to be bombastic, consequence-free, CGI eye-candy, and instead a solid story, compelling characters, and a little gravitas properly applied can produce a great film, superheroes or not. And Deadpool agrees.

While the original Alien was the scariest of the franchise, Aliens was the most thrilling, thanks in large part to director James Cameron. Like a good celebrity roast, Screen Junkies is here to tear down what is still one of our favorite sequels of all time. Game over man. Game over.

Screen Junkies smacks down Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher’s film about the world’s largest social network, which apparently was started by some of the most antisocial people on the planet. Er wait, is this entire movie Fake News? Time to rework the algorithm.

Whether you loved it, hated it, or just thought it was “meh” like we did, the guys at Screen Junkies are here to shoot all kinds of holes in the latest X-Men film, and reminding us that sometimes the best thing you can do with a beloved franchise is give it some time off.
