What makes movie trailers so compelling? | feat. Dallas Taylor

Movie trailers are a game of chess. Except in this game, millions of dollars are at stake with every move.

Dallas Taylor, owner of Defacto Sound and host of Twenty Thousand Hertz, gives us a peek behind the curtains where creativity and business live in a pressure cooker.

A few curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode:

• How many trillions of minutes of TV are watched in the US every year (yes, trillions)
• The evolution of movie trailers
• Have movie and TV trailers become too epic?
