The Green Band
Hosted by the dynamic duo, Brian Fink (the trailer whisperer) and Michael Carr (professional popcorn critic), The Green Band is a weekly comedy pop culture podcast that is your one-stop-shop for all things tease-worthy in the world of entertainment. From the “Did I just see the entire plot?” trailers to the “Wait, is this an ad for perfume?” teasers—Brian and Michael break down each cinematic preview with the precision of an Oscar-worthy speech and the enthusiasm of a toddler in a candy store. Whether you’re a movie buff, a trailer junkie, or someone who accidentally clicked the wrong link, The Green Band promises to entertain, educate (kind of), and leave you with an unhealthy appreciation for 2-minute cinematic masterpieces. New episodes drop every week. Popcorn sold separately.

This week on The Green Band, we're talking stretchy limbs, alien hunts, teen revenge, gothic vibes, and zombie chaos. And that’s just our group chat!
First up, The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer. And oh yeah - We’ve got the editor of the trailer - special guest Charles Yi joins Brian for an interview! Then, we’ll explore the Predator: Badlands teaser—because apparently Prey wasn’t terrifying enough. Also, I Know What You Did Last Summer is back and more stabby than ever. Wednesday Season 2 brings more dance moves, and more dread. And 28 Years Later is here to infect us all—let’s hope the rage virus hasn’t learned how to use TikTok or that might ruin my weekend.
If you love trailers, weird tangents, and two guys talking with the confidence to make you think they know what they’re doing, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to The Green Band!

In a world… where trailers drop faster than Ethan Hunt from a helicopter, where karate is still king, AI dolls are still creepy, and somehow The Naked Gun is getting a reboot...
This week, we’re breaking down the latest batch of trailers that made us laugh, cheer, and question Hollywood's caffeine intake. We’ve got Karate Kid Legends, Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning, M3GAN 2.0, The Naked Gun, The Phoenician Scheme, Murderbot, and Tron: Ares.
So buckle up, because this episode is more explosive than a Tron light cycle powered by a murderbot with unresolved emotional issues. Welcome to The Green Band!

This week on The Green Band, we’re diving claw-first into Jurassic World: Rebirth! Will dinosaurs ever learn to stay extinct? (No!) We also take a look at Bring Her Back—which sounds like either a thrilling mystery or what every studio exec says about Blake Lively... Not! Then there’s Freaky Tales! A movie title that sounds like an off-brand Goosebumps book, but promises to be a wild ride. And the live-action How to Train Your Dragon—because if there’s one thing Hollywood loves, it’s turning animation into real people doing the same thing but slightly less charming.
Plus, we break down what’s hitting theaters this weekend, including The Unbreakable Boy—a movie title that’s either super inspiring or an Unbreakable sequel no one asked for.
And of course, we’ll hit the latest industry headlines, because Hollywood news waits for no one… except Tom Cruise, who defies time itself. So grab your popcorn, buckle up, and let’s roll that Green Band title… because this episode starts NOW.

Welcome to The Green Band: the comedy podcast where movie trailers are the main attraction, and we’re the hecklers in the back row.
This week, we’re giving you a taste of what to expect in 2025, starting with the new teaser for 28 Years Later - the zombie threequel that started with 28 Days Later back in 2002. Then, we’ll dive into Last Breath, a new thriller that takes our fear to new depths. And lastly, we'll let it Snow White, or in this case, blizzard. Oh, and is there evidence that Die Hard IS a Christmas movie?
Finally, in our Cinema Spotlight segment, we'll hunt down Kraven: The Hunter at the box office this weekend.
So refill your popcorn, settle into your theater seat, and get ready for some epic trailer talk, coming up on The Green Band!
