2015 In Review: The Trailer Pod
Episode 23
We love a good year-end list as much as the next people who begrudgingly buy into a completist mentality where art and entertainment are ranked. But you can read insightful lists everywhere online and a bunch of the movies on them aren’t available to you yet. So, why not absurdly swing the other way? In this episode, we look back at the movies we didn’t see in 2015 and review (and sorry about this number) 40 of them, based solely on their trailers. Let us help you pick what you’ll half-watch on a Saturday in February from this at once surprising, mediocre and frustrating pool of 2015 movies.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel was a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
We cherished our 8-year run, talking to filmmakers like Gus Van Sant, insulting each other’s taste, and laughing to high heaven.
Chance’s new movie podcast, The Kick, continues to explore curated sub-genres and movie geekery. Noah is a frequent and beloved guest.
