Then, the MIB franchise gets new life with the trailer for MIB: International! Both the guys were huge MIB fans as children, so how critical are they of the trailer? Finally, Jordan Peele is a creative genius and we all know this, so of course the trailer for his new film Us gets a viewing as well.
