Movie Trailer Monday, Redux
It’s Monday. I’m off from work. So how about I share some pretty neat movie trailers? Look, I love trailers. I love the editing, the teases, the jokes, the stingers at the end. I really enjoy a good trailer. And it’s easy, enjoyable content to fill a Monday. I’m off from work today and a nice, lazy post is right up my alley.
First up is the big one, a new, full trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
I’m not a big Indiana Jones nerd. I watched those movies when I was a kid, sure, but I don’t have the nostalgia for them that a lot of people do. And I find it a little silly that they keep dragging Old Man Harrison Ford back into service for these sequels. And just thinking about this movie makes me sad that Ke Huy Quan won’t be in this one. But Fleabag is in it, so maybe she’ll do all the heavy lifting.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny comes to theaters on June 30.
Next up is the final trailer for Renfield, this comes out this weekend.
This one could be fun. I think it’s going to be like the recent Dungeons & Dragons movie. It’s gonna be a pleasant watch, with enough jokes and heart to make it enjoyable. I like Awkwafina. I like Nicholas Hoult. But this might also just be a typical movie where our heroes team up and go fight random vampires, until a Dracula boss fight. I’ll find out this weekend!

The Renfield Movie Might Be Good
It’s January, so Hollywood has nothing much to show us. But there are new movies coming out in the months ahead, so we’ve still got trailers! Like this first trailer for Renfield, a new Dracula movie that focuses on his Igor. And it looks…good? It looks alright?
Renfield as a handsome dude with super powers? An interesting take. But it’s got Awkwafina! And Nicholas Cage seems to be having fun as Dracula. Plus Nicholas Hoult is always a hoot. Maybe this will actually be a nifty neato film.
I guess we’ll find out when Renfield hits theaters on April 14.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Looks So Fun!
I’m as much a fan of Nicholas Cage as the next person, so his upcoming new movie looks pretty funny. Why not take all the Nicholas Cage memes and reputation and turn that into an actual movie? And with a title like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, it couldn’t look more perfect.
Funny, weird and zany, this looks great! Can’t wait! Also, Pedro Pascal is a busy man these days. Is he making up for the fact that he’s wearing a helmet all the time in his most famous and popular role? Maybe.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent comes to theaters on April 22.

Willy’s Wonderland is Going for Tilt
With Hollywood still in hibernation because of the pandemic, the rest of the world is making movies however they can. Which brings us to Willy’s Wonderland, a Nicholas Cage movie wherein somebody decided to beat Five Nights at Freddie’s to the punch.
Looks dumb! But it also looks watchable. And perhaps I’m just saying that because movies are weird right now. As some of you might remember, I host a movie review podcast through my work, so I’m always on the lookout for new movies to watch in this increasingly barren landscape. And this looks…like an option!
Willy’s Wonderland comes out on Feb. 13.

Nicholas Cage Makes Everything Better
I’m not one to indulge in the ‘Nicholas Cage is Insane’ Internet meme. Mostly because I’ve seen only a few of his insane movie roles. I like him in Con Air and Gone in 60 Seconds. But the meme persists, and people like Pleated Jeans have good fun with it.
Good times, good laughs.
