In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman revisit Carrie (2013) to play The Trailer Game and score how many moments they accurately predicted would appear in the movie’s trailer — from blood buckets to telekinetic locker room footage. But along the way, the conversation detours into:
-
How do you explain to your kid that their dad died… from a falling bucket?
-
Would Carrie 3: Ennui be a better sequel than The Rage?
-
Could Julianne Moore have played Carrie herself in the 90s?
-
And is it okay to slow-dance with your teacher at prom if she’s Judy Greer?
Plus: thoughts on evangelical horror, Harry Potter comparisons, and an inspired (if cursed) pitch for Harry Carey.
We close with our next movie’s release date and a cryptic tagline: “A comedy of the heart… and other organs.”

– The Trailer Game: Carrie edition (2013)
