RamblingRamblers' PodcastEpisode 45: Coming Not Soon EnoughInspired by a ton of new huge trailers, Justin, Pat, and Pete join together to discuss the art and science of trailers themselves. Why do they have to give away so much? Is it possible to market a film without giving away spoilers? And in the end... we really just agree to listen to Brad Bird.
The guys lead-off the show talking about the casting for Disney's upcoming Beauty and the Beast live action film, the trading of female directors on Wonder Woman and Joss Whedon bemoaning the lack of an Edgar Wright-directed Ant-Man.

Additionally, the guys allow Pat to geek out over the Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe news before discussing the passing of Leonard Nimoy and recapping the 87th Academy Awards.

Before diving into that feature discussion, Pat, Pete, and Justin discuss the rumor about Marvel splitting Avengers 3 into two movies, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass being Bourne again and the insanity that is the announcement of a movie called Tetris. God he...

And what type of trouble did Manager Pat get into when HE used to work for Blockbuster?
All of that plus the guys briefly discuss Pat's viewing of Thor: The Dark World and get into the news about franchise-shifting directors being hired for both Star Trek and the next Bourne film. Also, Justin kicks and screams some more about Horrible...
