Trailers

.This week on Far From Ideal, we dive into the art of the movie trailer: the ones that tell us the entire plot, the ones that completely lie to us and the ones that are actually amazing. From Scrooged to Tropic Thunder, Oppenheimer to The Fall Guy, we unpack how editing, marketing, and Hollywood hype can either elevate or ruin a film.

We debate spoilers, mystery, and why every trailer must last three minutes too long. Plus: horror trailer parodies, Jordan Peele’s genre-bending marketing, and the obvious question: should you even watch a trailer before seeing the movie?
