Screen Junkies is an online movie magazine and a YouTube channel focused on movies and television. ScreenJunkies is owned and operated by Defy Media. It has three main shows: "The Screen Junkies Show," "Honest Trailers," and "Movie Fights." The Screen Junkies Show is mostly interviews and movie discussion, Honest Trailers is a series of trailers that satirizes and parodies various movies/shows, and Movie Fights is a competition wherein guests debate various issues related to film. The host of The Screen Junkies Show is Hal Rudnick, the narrator of Honest Trailers is currently Jon Bailey, and the host of Movie Fights is Andy Signore. As of March 2015, Screen Junkies has over 4 million subscribers.

Videos

Screen Junkies post three different web series: "Honest Trailers", which are uploaded on Tuesdays, "The Screen Junkies Show", which are uploaded on Thursdays, and "Movie Fights", which are uploaded on Sundays.

"Honest Trailers" is arguably the flagship show of Screen Junkies. The show is a series of parody trailers of films, and occasionally TV shows, that are made to satirize the film. These trailers often point out plot mistakes, and most "Honest Trailers" have given negative reviews of their subjects in a humorous way. Jon Bailey is the current narrator, replacing Gannon Nickell in 2012. They have also made Honest Trailers for the TV shows Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones.

The Screen Junkies Show covers a variety of topics in film and television. Some episodes include interviews with actors, "supercuts" (compilations), and information and updates on movies. The Screen Junkies Show is hosted by Hal Rudnick, and was created by Andy Signore and Brett Weiner.

"Movie Fights", typically hosted by Signore, typically features debates between three other people outside of Screen Junkies, such as other YouTube reviewers, on various movie-related questions. Some "Movie Fights" feature people from Screen Junkies, such as Rudnick, Dan Murrell, and even Signore himself, in the debate. Each video's title highlights a specific debate about a recent event involving movies, such as the Oscars. The last question of each "Movie Fights" video before the Speed Round, save a rare few, contain a clue to that week's "Honest Trailer" video.

Reception

As of March 2015, Screen Junkies has over 4 million subscribers, and over 708 million video views. Captain America: The Winter Soldier co-director Joe Russo is an avid fan of the show and said that he aimed to make the movie "Honest Trailers-proof". Nevertheless, an Honest Trailers was released inn August 2014; while it nickpicked the film, it did say that it was honestly good.

In 2014 the Screen Junkies YouTube Channel was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at #34.

Zack Stentz, co-writer of Thor and X-Men: First Class, initially called the channel's Honest Trailers "insufferable." After the crew from the channel got in contact with Stentz, he agreed to watch the Honest Trailer for Thor with the crew and he ended up enjoying it, even agreeing with some of the points made in the trailer.

Movie Fights

Movie Fights is produced by Andy Signore, Dan Murrell, and Jason Inman. It was shot at AfterBuzzTV Studios, but currently is shot at Screen Junkies Studios. He also hosts the show when he is not competing. He is assisted by Dan Murrell (the current [undefeated] champion) when he is not competing.

The series began with a non-competitive debate (Did Godzilla Suck?!, May 22, 2014) featuring Andy Signore, Dan Murrell, and Nick Mundy, with Hal Rudnick moderating. It took place in the discussion room that Hal uses for discussions he moderates.

Question and statistical summary (x during a tie breaker or Speed Round question denotes the fighter was not competing in that portion, whereas 0 denotes the fighter won the tie breaker but did not receive a point for it (in the case of being pushed on to the Speed Round)):

• • Hal got the second tie breaker question for naming a character (Ripley) rather than an actress (Linda Hamilton).

• • • Dan would not give anyone the point for either response (Closer by Nick and The Fault in our Stars by Hal).

• • • • Nick won on a technicality as Hal answered 1999's Godzilla, when it was in fact from 1998. Oddly, Nick's answer was Zach Braff.

Episode 15: Should Star Wars Ditch George Lucas? (1-25-2015)

Third episode in which a fighter wins after being in third place.

Fourth example of someone taking the lead and ultimately finishing in third (second time for Nick). He got points for the first two questions and pulled into an early lead but failed to earn any points beyond question 2, a repeat of something previously done by Alison Haislip in episode 9; Nick had six more opportunities (including a tie breaker against only one competitor), just as Alison did.

• Trisha was given a point for the tie breaker between her and Nick to go to the Speed Round. This was removed in subsequent episodes involving just two fighters as CBG19 was at a disadvantage since she wasn't part of the tie break. Using the proper rules, CGB would win after the second Speed Round question with a score of 6-2.

• Even with a few seconds to think, Hal gave the same response as Tiffany (The Mask 2), sealing his loss. From this point on, doing so is referred to as "pulling a Hal Rudnick."

• • Mike used Sylvester Stallone as a arguing point for Cliffhanger, but Demolition Man also has Stallone. Granted, Mike did not get the point.

Episode 20: Which Kids' Franchise Needs a Gritty Reboot? (3-1-2015)

First episode shot at Screen Junkies Studios.

It also is the first episode where the fighters are given voice-over introductions with their pictures and records (even though all the fighters are new in this episode).

New Speed Round music is introduced.

The first-, second-, and third-place finishers all sat in the same respective seats for a third episode in a row.

Fifth example of a competitor taking an early lead and ultimately finishing in third.

It is the first in which a fighter gets no points after question 1.

Jason Inman and Dan Murrell gave a dedication to Leonard Nimoy who passed away on 2-27-2015.

The winner of this fight would go against Nick Mundy (2/4/1) and Mike Carlson (winner of episode 20) in a semi-final to take Dan Murrell's title belt.

First episode since episode 1 to feature three new fighters.
