Here are the best trailers this week. Listen to us discuss the best trailers that came out this week on our podcast.
Lady Dynamite
Netflix has a new comedy series starring Maria Bamford and executive produced by Bamford, Mitch Hurwitz and Pam Brady. Lady Dynamite is based on what Bamford has accepted to be “her life.” The occasionally surreal episodes, refracted across multiple periods inspired by the actor/comedian’s life, tell the story of a woman who loses – and then finds – her s**t. All episodes premiere May 20 on Netflix.
No Men Beyond This Point
In this mockumentary, women rule the world and are no longer giving birth to males. A quiet, unassuming housekeeper named Andrew Myers finds himself at the center of a battle to keep men from going extinct.
The Magnificent Seven
Desperate townspeople hire seven mercenaries (Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke) to battle a ruthless industrialist in the Old West.
I loved the original 1960 version with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson. This trailer seems to inject more humor but also more explosions and action.
Release date: September 23, 2016
Jason Bourne
Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in Jason Bourne. Damon is joined by Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones, and Julia Stiles.
While little is known about the plot of the movie we do know that it has been 9 years since the Bourne Ultimatum. What has Jason Bourne been up to now that he remembers everything?

Suicide Squad
First Bohemian Rhapsody, now Ballroom Blitz. The Suicide Squad seems to have the most fun music from the 1970’s.
In theaters Aug. 5th, 2016.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
The trailer is the briefest glimpse into the American magical society of the 1920’s. From the fiction released on the Pottermore site we’re sure to see issues of magical segregation and secrecy in the film.
In theaters Nov. 18th, 2016.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
The more we see of this movie the more we like it. In addition to the battle with Shredder and the aliens led by Krang there is a subplot of the turtles wanting to be human.
In theaters May 15th, 2016.
Doctor Strange Official Teaser Trailer
Our first look at footage from the Marvel film Doctor Strange. It’s 1:56 of magical goodness. We see Stephen Vincent Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) go from broken surgeon to sorcerer supreme with the help of the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton). The visuals remind us of the reality altering effects found in Inception.
In theaters Nov. 4th, 2016.

Rogue One
Rogue One is a Star Wars prequel set right before Episode 4. It is the story of the Rebel team sent to steal the plans for the first Death Star. The latest trailer shows a dirty dozen style team infiltrating and battling the Empire. Jinn Asa, a rebel among rebels, leads the team. We also see a bounty hunter, a samurai, a pilot, and Forest Whitaker as a veteran fighter.
The BFG
Finally, a full trailer has been released for The BFG. It was worth the wait. The mostly CG film has tons of heart and has me wanting to be swept away by a kind giant.
Synopsis: A girl named Sophie encounters the Big Friendly Giant who, despite his intimidating appearance, turns out to be a kindhearted soul who is considered an outcast by the other giants because unlike his peers refuses to eat boys and girls.
In theaters July 1st.
Swiss Army Man
This is a weird, charming mash up of Castaway and Weekend at Bernie’s. We love it! Harry Potter, aka Daniel Radcliff, is a corpse found by a lost traveler that he uses to survive. While this sounds kina gross, the trailer shows that corpse Daniel Radcliff starts talking, gaining abilities, and even a fart based rocket power.
Release date: June 17, 2016 (USA)
Blackway
An ex-logger comes to the aid of a woman who returns to her hometown in the Pacific Northwest and finds herself harassed and stalked by a former cop turned crime lord.
The trailer is surprisingly suspenseful. It’s Ray Liotta versus Anthony Hopkins and Julia Stiles on June 10th, 2016.
