Move over Ebert & Roeper. -- there's a new loudmouth pundit posse in

town, shredding  the marketing hype of Hollywood movie trailers in the era of YouTube. Americans have caught the "Trailer Trashers" bug. Hosted by three improv actors, "Trailer Trashers” (c) features outrageous, no-holds-barred reviews of the trailers Hollywood wastes millions on.

Launched in the summer of 2006, "Trailer Trashers"" has taken America

by storm, infiltrating email inboxes throughout the world.

With its sardonic spin on Hollywood movie trailers, the program has conquered the internet and online media, with what highlighted Google's official blog calls: “an uproarious and delirious parody!”

Teaser trailer releases are now seen as events, with studios spending millions of dollars creating hype that will hopefully drive moviegoers to their films. Trailer Trashers are here to wade through the detritus of Hollywood hype and give the viewing audience an honest (and irreverent) take on today’s hottest previews. Each week, comedy vets Brian Badalato, Kim Costello and Robert Ellsworth, bring their off-beat characters and ridiculous rants to the web in a free-wheeling, weekly roundup that plays like Ebert & Roeper on Ritalin.
