you probably know honest trailers which he created yeah and movie fights and so much more about screen junkies Andy signor thanks for stopping by bud thanks for having me guys to be here you have had a pretty major week at honest trailers we have we've had an epic week I think you could say Deadpool showed up in your honest trailer for Deadpool he did and argued with the voice he sure did does the voice have an official name I mean a real the real person is named John Bailey but does the voice have a name that's a great question no one's asked that voice he's no he has like a family he is a bit broken marriage he has a kid is yelled at him so he there is it we do have a character I don't think we've ever given him a name so that's a good I'm gonna start thinking about that but so okay so you were able to get he were able to get Ryan Reynolds not only uh to do with this but also have him in the costume kind of a big deal he wasn't in the costume we tricked you there oh really yeah it was just his voice he was actually in England that's the mask we took we took the promos because we wanted we needed to separate when he was talking when he wasn't you could feel like always talk to the guys talking to us but yeah we he just did the audio and it was several recording sessions that we did with Ryan Reynolds which was insane to me that that actually all transpired how did that come together yeah a shot to him yeah so we saw I saw the movie in theaters and I was like and Spencer our writer and I was just like how are we gonna do this on his trailer because we just knew immediately like they did like honest credits and they did all the stuff on my face like your stick well I didn't mean to say that but it's like they're doing our tone like this is it like if we were to do a movie how do you decide yeah how are we gonna build a top top you can't a joke and a joke is always never as successful so I immediately enough remove I'm like I got to try and get Ryan Reynolds like dude Deadpool in the trailer and I think at that point we were feeling a little cocky because we're like we got the Russo brothers or on record turns and we've had other people were like if we're ever gonna be able finally I had always had this dream for ever gonna finally get a celebrity to do their own I was like this is the perfect one their marketing has been great spot on fourth wall it's like this is the perfect example of how you would do this yeah so correct and so I just made it my mission and then we I started on Twitter is how I did it and so I started campaign on Twitter hashtag Deadpool for the Deadpool honest trailer and it got some traction so many of our fans across the web we have fan Janine who was making posters and she would send them like every two days and so we've sent a Rhett Reese the writer and Ryan they were the owns on Twitter Rhett Reese eventually wrote back and was like sorry I'm busy writing Deadpool - and I was like fair excuse okay and then after a little while I got it like a little ping on my H login it's like Ryan Reynolds is following you on Twitter right and then I see in my inbox a message from Ryan and I'm just like and it was just a very polite long email looks like hey dude what's up I got your messages he's like I'm a big fan I love the Green Lantern trailer which was like crazy you guys are awesome and they just went to proceed like I'm really busy you know I'm down - what do you want what are you thinking we then they revealed they tried to do an Australian tea the end credits was gonna be oh they're on his trailer so they wrote one I'm still haven't seen it I'm dying to see what they did but it didn't work they didn't feel like was funny or they couldn't muster it see they're harder than call you I was gonna say right then they think but anyway long story short I that I knew all right I got one email back because I don't want to like I can't hang on this guy he's polite enough he's reached out sure less than all of you are trying to get an a-lister in your shows don't don't have them too much right you got to be polite you got to be cool about it so I thought I'm trying to like exactly but there is like a protocol so I Mercado and I've had some prep I've had some embarrassing encounters before that I know I'm I regret like experienced bleeding I know I'm a pro now I'm like I got it I got it hey what's up Ryan like you normal and I just pitched him back I'm like here's what we want to do if you're not up for it we get it I wanted to give him an out just so I knew he was really interested and sure enough the dude was so interested not only that but then he emails me like no studio no PR no agent just direct the cool guy cool dude who just gets it and it was like how do we make this good for you guys and anymore he ended up doing it over the course of four or five weeks and it was just insane it was just so fun to work with him he got it he there was no joke he turned down he's there was some he wanted to adjust or make funnier but I just love that he was up for everything yeah you see it sounds like he was super game for it and and it shows in the the honest trailer cuz it's really funny it's perfect how do you guys set about making one of those from you what's the process so I mean I I stood to did it with my partner Brent way back who helped me sort of do the show and now he left I think trailered 15 or something we're now 150 so I've been leaving it the process since then and the team really now is our head writer Spencer Gilbert does most of the writing now he'll watch the movie we all have seen the movie he'll will officer I've share some notes and then he'll go for a deep dive and do the first draft and then after some notes we've share and then we'll go and and I'll punch it through and be like what do we this is this isn't working we need go broader here stuff like that and then usually it's two or three more drafts that we then go through I think Deadpool had 10 drafts because we really were like let's do this one make sure plus we had time usually we don't have time we're always like a week ahead get it out the door but that's the process we watch the movie Issac Spencer sometimes watches at 3 and maybe 1/4 by through skimming and then we give it to editor and then it's there it's usually takes about a week and a half Wow like I would think it would take longer than that because I would feel like I would need to watch a movie like eight times so I really get all of those nuances but I'm sure now it's sort of a formula we know okay from blank comes that you know we know which jokes were setting up and then obviously we're always trying to challenge ourselves which is one did of how do we mix the format up we did well with boyhood where we just didn't even have a voiceover and I like when we challenge ourselves like that where it's like how do we screw with our format so it doesn't feel like we're doing the same you have like totally do you have set of rules for yourselves as far as what you want do oh yeah I push a lot I mean it's always be honest it's so in it which sounds stupid but it's like it's not sarcastic trailers it's not it's not about I mean we make jokes the show is a comedy series but is this honest as a question I'm always happy on the trailer is actually the other role like is this trailer enough like sometimes we go off on too many tangents where I feel like we're just doing a commentary sure where it's like how do we make and then usually it's funny or because of that when we really stick to the guy being a trailer voice trying to do it is something you want to stick into so when you guys started doing honest trailers obviously it was like a lot smaller than it is now but like you mentioned earlier the Russo brothers when they were making if you guys didn't know this the Russo brothers when they were making Winter Soldier tried to make it specifically honest trailers proof so what is that like what is that feeling like to know that there are filmmakers out there going like we have to do this right so that honest trailers doesn't just kill us I mean it's insane I mean the story that also was like we we didn't know that when we were making our Winter Soldier trailer and we were like we're having a tough time pretty good yeah we can nitpick which we say in the trailer like get ready for nitpicking but then we learn later that yes they were like apparent and then now we've talked to them a couple times and Joe and Anthony and we're like yeah I can't tell you many times who said I don't want to hear this an effing honest trailer gotta bulk up this logic and it's like amazing to me cuz that's great it's the goal like of course we don't hate movies make movies better it's not that hard to just sometimes do one last comb through like does this make sense like I just say a line to make sure this make sense because it's a movie of course we're gonna if we render the movie and invested you let a lot of things slide but sometimes movies just don't so how do we get a flash drive every episode in it I will say the Babbitt's who read trailers one that I think everyone is very there's a lot of pressure on my favorite movie of the year is gonna be the honest trailer for Batman Superman pressure thanks bro we are very we're up to task and we're very excited for that I cannot wait to see the response is there a part of you that gets excited when a big movie like that is you go it has a whole history it's like I don't know I don't want to take forever but it's like the DDC fans are so mad about it it's like you're allowed to like the movie like it's okay I didn't like the movie I'm allowed to not like the movie and I feel like I have justified reasons why I didn't like Italy I love those characters and I get there are different versions of the characters but when you're spending 200 million dollars on a Batman V Superman movie you do sort of have to please the masses John I think that's one of the things though that I see makes honest trailers so successful is that you guys never come from a place of mean-spiritedness there's never a like you said no sarcasm it's not like a we're gonna rip this movie to shreds because it because we hate these things it's because you love movies and you want them to be better you want them to have better logic and audiences deserve to have that experience of a better movie going you know just a total experience that you guys are willing sort of ribbit hard but still you know have it it's all in good nature like it's all very good-natured it's all very like you you love movies like you can really get that through honest trailers like you never feel like these guys hate movies like this is what's terrible no we definitely love movies and thank you I mean that's definitely our goal we're never trying to just crap on a movie like that we definitely are trying to crap sometimes on the logic or the the choices certainly always have made it but we always try to justify it with the reason of this is why this isn't working like why would I believe in this and so yes we never are trying to say it on the movie even with movies we hate we do sort of like transformers we just call out how lazy it is and that's a way to sort of explain why we hate it without just saying screw this movie I think we might have said screw that movie just because like oh god we gotta watch this movie after the fifth one or whatever it was but um we try and share why it's like he'd litter but Michael Bay literally reuse his shots in the movie like you don't even have the courtesy to and he like left green-screen screens I don't like how do you mess like come if you're not even gonna be fully invested neither away so we we will call him out when that's fair yeah exactly you're very fair about your honesty it's never it's never in an effort to be extra mean to a movie it's and again it's honest I mean I think that that's really I think the difference is the big difference for me is not trying to convince someone that something is bad you know it's just like we're trying to just call out what's there and not not say here's our argument for why you should not like that correct right exactly um so what is your favorite honest trailer that is published thus far uh I changes a lot but I'm really proud of the lame is Rob Lowe on labor medley miserable we just it was our we just decided to do an all musical one and I just did not have any faith that it was gonna work even I was like I don't know but I loved the challenge I was like of course we're doing this but we got a Broadway songwriter who I'm not allowed to say his name but a legit by the way it rhymes with blanchard of lloyd blabber like musicals you guys know I worked on musicals you know and so it's like that was crazy to me and he really helped us we wrote the lyrics and did it but then he totally shift made the music and sung helped us sing it because to sing in that style is really tough yeah and I didn't think we'd like how are we gonna do this and we wrote it and then it just came out and I was like oh this is so fun and so I love when we can do those so that one stands out and I really like Superman for it's just we went back and like an 80s trailer and it was back in the day where now every movies been asked for but it was like we found one comment it was like dude that movie we're like okay one guy here is loaded when he saw that it went up he was like they were listening to me and then Lion King is just a avbyte help us with no one knows of what there were you say circle of life bit which still makes me laugh I always the one that always makes me laugh is when you guys say instead of Michael Caine it's my cocaine it's so simple and dance of pure you wrote it in the script and I didn't get it and I'm like Michael hey and then I said it I'm like oh what are the other things you're you're doing we know about movie fights by the way fans loved you you had an aggressive fighter against you I think you were a little like what oh I didn't know yeah people take that
