Honest Game Trailers | The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

It’s the Honest Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King! After an extended edition sized sabbatical in the woods, Aragon has been given a return to office notice or else he’ll lose his job as the king of all mankind. While The King makes his return, the hobbits return the ring to sender for a full refund, minus shipping and handling (fingering?). It’s the perfect ending to the perfect trilogy, and then it keeps going for another 15-20 minutes but we don’t want it to be over either.

Honest Trailers - The Predator

It’s the Honest Trailer for Peacemaker! We watched both seasons so you don’t have to, but you should! It’s a good show if you like grounded, mature themes, like when is it ok to shoot your dad or chainsaw a gorilla? James Gunn and John Cena have a good thing going here, it’s a shame Warner Bros is about to be gutted and sold for parts again…

Before the reboot?.. parody?.. meta-sequel? Before the new Anaconda comes out, revisit the late '90s when Ice-Cube & J-Lo fought a giant snake and didn't provide ANY tracks for the soundtrack. Gah! Still mad about that.

It’s the Honest Trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood! There will be jokes, but this is honestly one of the best films of the 21st century, Daniel Day Lewis is the GOAT, and PTA may have peaked here, but One Battle After Another is pretty damn close.

It's time for the Honest Trailer for The Thing (1982)! We love this movie, and if you don't, you might be a shapeshifting alien. It's got everything: Kurt Russell, John Carpenter, flamethrowers, autopsies gone wrong, killer sled dogs, guys being dudes, aliens being guys, and an ending so ambiguous, we're STILL debating who's who and what's what. Throw it on on a cold night and thank us later, just make sure you're not watching the remake...

All right you snot-nosed little ingrates, it’s detention time, and we’re watching the Honest Trailer for The Breakfast Club on repeat! Enjoy being locked in the library all day with 5 teenage stereotypes complaining about being stereotyped! Yeah it’s a little dated, but just be glad John Hughes didn’t write it today or it’d be 90 minutes of them slack-jawed scrolling on their phones.
