207 "The Holiday Special"

Welcome to The Green Band, the comedy podcast where we unwrap the gifts that are movie trailers.
This week, we’re gathering a special Christmas episode filled with holiday cheer and cinematic nostalgia. We’ll be counting down our favorite Christmas movie trailers of all time — from the timeless classics to those hidden festive gems.
But that’s not all! We’ll also dive into three of the hottest new trailers making waves: the highly anticipated Superman reboot, the action-packed return of Karate Kid: Legends, and A24’s intriguing and unique Death of a Unicorn.
And in our Cinema Spotlight segment, we’ll discuss this week’s major theater releases, including Disney’s epic prequel Mufasa: The Lion King, the high-speed thrills of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and the visually stunning drama The Brutalist.
So grab some peppermint popcorn and some highly spiked eggnog, cozy up by the fire and wait for that big guy to plow down your chimney. This is The Green Band!

206 "Let It Snow White"

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!

205 "Squid Pro Quo"

Welcome to The Green Band—the only podcast where we talk trailers, not trash! Or… sometimes both. This week, we’re diving into some serious cinematic chaos: Squid Game Season 2, the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake, and Queer.
Plus, in our Cinema Spotlight, we’re howling at the moon with Nightbitch, time-traveling to the Y2K disaster, and, oh yeah, there are Werewolves! Because, why not!?
And as always, we’ll recap all the entertainment news you missed.
So grab your popcorn and prepare to laugh at our expense—this is 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!
