The Odyssey is coming out this weekend and a lot of new movie trailers have arrived so that they can be attached to The Odyssey. Or maybe they’re just coming out for the fun of it? I don’t know how movie trailer releases work, despite being a big fan of movie trailers for 30+ years. Oh well. These two came out yesterday and I wanted to share.

First up is Mayday, an action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh coming to AppleTV.

I think it looks great! Looks like a ton of fun. I have no turned on Ryan Reynolds like most people, so I’m all in favor of this. The biggest pull is that the film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. These are the geniuses behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, with some solid writing credits under their belts. These guys make good movies, so I’m definitely keeping an eye on Mayday, and you should too.

Mayday comes to AppleTV on Sept. 4.

Next up is Digger, this super important Tom Cruise movie. I saw the Digger teaser trailer ahead of a movie in theaters a few weeks ago, and the trailer was like 5 full minutes of glazing Tom Cruise’s career. So I guess everything has been building to Digger?

It looks neat. Looks like a smart satire, which I always enjoy. And it’s got John Goodman, so that’s great. I guess it just looks like a big, important, funny movie that will use star power to stay something powerful? I dunno. I just thought it was a trailer worth sharing.

Digger comes to theaters on Oct. 2.
