The Green Band

204 "Happy Trailersgiving"

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 is stuffed with plenty of trailers to feast your eyes on, like Dear Santa—a dark comedy that’s at the top of this holiday season’s naughty list, The Last Showgirl—a moving drama about a famous dancer facing her next “stage” in life and a new segment called KIDS CORNER where we’ll sit at the kid's table and get the inside “scoop” from the “next generation” of trailer critics on the new live-action How to Train Your Dragon, Mufasa, and Dogman. So, stick around – you’re in for a real treat.
And in our Cinema Spotlight segment, say “aloha” to Moana 2 where we’ll debate is less really more with this film’s campaign or can it just ride the wave of the first film’s success?
So grab your popcorn, settle into your theater seat, and get ready for some epic trailer talk, coming up on The Green Band!
