Claven reacts to divisive movie trailers, calling one "an assault murder" and praising Knives Out 2’s Rian Johnson writing. A Helix Sleep Mattress ad touts 27% off via code "helixsleep.com/slash Claven," while a Sean Penn/Leonardo DiCaprio political thriller sparks communist-themed skepticism. Criticizing Old Boy’s unengaging trailer, he jokes about spelling "Claven" before questioning Timothy Chalamet’s dramatic shift in an awards-season film. Summer horror lacks variety, but the UFC movie—starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt—stands out, blending fight action with his Ballers credibility, leaving him torn between cinemas and TV.

It's like a torture chamber, but this doesn't sound too bad.
We're going to be watching trailers of upcoming movies to see if anything interesting is happening.
Some of the movies were not as bad as the rest of the year, so maybe things were improving in the movie business.
We'll find out, or at least we'll find out how the trailers look.
Let's take a look at them.
That's the first one.
Won't you spare me over till another year?
for man a reason this is the holy grail this was dressed as a miracle It's just a murder.
An assault murders.
I'm open the door to heaven or hell.
All right, there's a sequel to Knives Out.
Look, that was a great trailer.
Really well done.
Yes.
I saw another sequel to Knives Out.
I think it was a TV movie or just a streaming movie, which was only okay.
It's so dumb.
It's so dumb.
It's brilliant.
No!
It's just dumb.
I really liked Knives Out.
And one of the things I found so charming about Knives Out is that younger people had never seen a movie like that before.
They'd never seen In Then There Were None or all the Agatha Christie movies.
And they were absolutely delighted by the idea of a bunch of suspects in a closed space.
Anyone could have done it in the detective finding out the way.
So hopefully this will be as good.
I really enjoyed it.
I thought the writing was good.
Rian Johnson was very talented.
Hopefully this will be as good as that.
Certainly a nice trailer.
By the way, speaking of nice things, this is brought to you by Helix Mattresses.
Helix Sleep Mattresses, go to helixsleep.com slash Claven for a great deal.
All right, let's watch another one.
What I'm doing here is I'm creating a closed circuit.
Very important to keep your cap shunted like this so you don't accidentally detonate your charge.
Don't stop.
I want you to create a show.
This is an announcement on Revolution.
The message is clear.
I'll be seeing you very soon.
How do I see you first?
Let's go!
We're bringing justice to the vigilante group known as the French 75.
You have to understand, Willa.
Me and mom used to run around and do some real bad shit.
They got hurt.
Now they're coming after us.
Sorry.
I didn't ask for this.
That's just how the cards were rolled out for me.
It's not cards.
You don't roll cards.
It's dice.
Dad, what is wrong with you?
You're right.
Let's go.
I got a tunnel!
All your mom's stuff.
From all my stuff.
Even though I know that's impossible.
This isn't the end of the line.
Not for you.
Tweet off, tweet off.
I love you.
I'ma keep on running cause a winner don't quit on themselves.
Whoa, who's this?
Oh, they're just my friends.
Now, is that a he or she or a they?
It's not that hard.
They, them.
I just want to be polite.
You know what freedom is?
No fear.
Just like Tom Cruise.
Well, I have to say that looked fairly entertaining, but a political violence drama starring Sean Penn and Leonardo DiCaprio is probably going to be annoying.
But we never, you never know.
You never know.
I like Bonicio del Toro.
I like all of them.
Sean Penn is one of the great actors of his day.
Just happens to be a communist.
The guy who supports Hugo Chavez.
What can you say?
Why are you communist?
And Leonardo DiCaprio, always an entertaining actor.
And who knows?
Who knows?
Maybe it'll be better than we hope.
All right.
Another one.
All right.
That was not a good trailer.
Didn't really make me excited, but it's by the director of Old Boy, which is a really good film.
If you've never seen Old Boy, that's worth seeing.
So I will withhold judgment.
I'm going to withhold.
You know, it's funny.
I used to know a guy who made trailers for a living.
They're really hard to make.
You would think that they're not, but basically, they're based on reducing you to a baby.
They're all close-ups of faces showing emotions and then things blowing up.
So that's the way babies react to things.
They see faces.
That's what they mostly see.
And then other things just make them startled.
And that's the way trailers work.
They treat you as if you're about six months old.
And that one was just not a very good one.
Horror Trailers Fail?00:07:05
It didn't engage you.
But Old Boy was a good movie.
So maybe this one is as well.
So I'll withhold judgment again.
You know, a few weeks ago, I actually slept through the night.
It was like a shocking experience.
You know what I kind of missed?
I kind of missed the comfort of my Helix Sleep mattress.
I love my Helix Sleep mattress.
And though I lie awake all night, because that's just who I am, I can lie awake thinking, well, at least I'm comfortable.
You guys, you probably, if you lie on a helix sleep mattress, it's so comfortable, you'll probably fall asleep and miss the entire experience.
One thing I've loved about my Helix mattress is how well it does with temperature regulation, which really eases some of those annoying middle-of-the-night wake-ups.
That was really important during the summer, but it's always important.
And it's easy to connect the mattress to other wearable devices so you can actually see the data to back up your sleep improvements each night.
No more questioning.
What makes Helix different is they don't just sell you a random mattress.
They actually match you with the perfect one for your body and sleep style.
Whether you're a side sleeper, back sleeper, or a non-sleeper like myself, they have got you covered.
All you have to do is take their sleep quiz and find your ideal match.
And trust me, when you find the right match, you will wonder whoever slept or lay awake on anything else.
Right now is actually the perfect time to upgrade your sleep because Helix is still offering a fantastic Labor Day sale.

And until you get the mattress and you can't sleep, you can think to yourself, well, how would I spell claven?
There are no E's in Claven.
This is a hint.
I just make it look this easy.
Hello.
Hey, it's Marty Mauser.
I'm in the Royal Suite.
I saw you in the lobby yesterday.
Okay.
Whoa.
Didn't ever talk to an actual movie star.
You know, I'm something of a performer too.
Are you?
Yeah, you don't believe me?
I have a purpose.
But if you think that's some sort of blessing, it's not it.
It means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through, and with that obligation comes sacrifice.
But I'm telling you, this game at Phil Stadiums overseas.
And it's only a matter of time before I'm staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.
I'm not trying to control you, Marty.
It's unacceptable.
It's unacceptable.
But I don't think you understand the stakes.
You have no power here.
What do you plan to do if this whole dream of yours doesn't work out?
doesn't even enter my consciousness.
All right.
That's Timothy Chalamet playing ping pong.
It could be all right.
You know, I like sports movies, and ping pong did have a moment in the sun when they discovered that the entire country of China liked watching it.
They're bringing it up for Christmas, which means they have a lot of faith in it.
That's a picture I would go to see if it got great reviews, and people I knew and trusted liked it.
So, interesting.
These are pretty serious pictures.
You know, it's interesting.
All through the summer, when I would go to the movies, there was nothing coming down the pike but horror movies.
Everything was horror movies, and all the trailers of horror movies are exactly the same.
There's that pause, and then something jumps out at you.
Which is what I hate most about horror movies, is things jumping out at me.
So this is interesting that these are serious.
I guess this is the kind of awards movies coming out for the autumn.
And that's when, yeah, I would watch Timothy Shalom play ping pong.
good actor.
And I like competition movies.
So let's see.
All right, one more.
Probably looking at my eyes.
How did that happen?
Have you ever heard of the ultimate fighting championship, the UFC?
That's the bloody thing they're trying to ban.
This guy is the best he has ever seen.
Do you hate each other when you fight?
Absolutely not.
How do you know, Mark Kirk?
The end is new.
Oh, we go way back.
Welcome in his Octagon debut!
Mark Kirk!
Winning is the best feeling there is.
It's 40,000 people.
And they're cheering you off.
There's no other highlight in the world.
No contract, no money?
No money.
Do you have any stronger pain medication?
Adabil?
Advil?
Yeah.
It's simple.
Am I going to hurt him before he hurts me?
Best never.
I'll show you.
He has come back from the break.
Let's see if he can pull out a victory over Mark Coleman.
Have you spoken to either about fighting such a good friend or life-changing amount of money?
I just need you to let me in.
I typical.
Always about you.
That's Dwayne Johnson trying to win an Oscar, playing a fighter.
Emily Blunt, always great.
Yeah, I'll probably go to see that.
You know, the thing about Dwayne Johnson, you know, he's always in action films and all this stuff.
And he's charming.
He's got a lot of charm.
But he was in a show called Ballers, I think it was on HBO.
I watched it for a couple of seasons, and it was a good show, and he was really good in it.
He played a washed-up football player who became a sports agent, and he was really believable.
He must think he has it in him to deliver.
You know, he would take the Oscars off guard, so he'd probably have a good shot at it.
So, yeah, and I like watching fight movies, and so they look pretty good.
I would say of all of those movies, that's the one I'm most likely to turn up for.
So that's what we have to look forward to.
And mostly, I'll be, you know, obviously I'll be watching TV.
