THE POSTER SAYS...
Cinema's greatest and most memorable taglines. Finally getting their close-up.
Every great movie has a poster. Every great poster has a line.
Five words. Maybe ten. Written by someone whose name almost nobody knows or remembers... and somehow, decades later, you can still recite it word for word.
The Poster Says... digs into the taglines that sold us the movies we never forgot. Who wrote them. Why they worked. What they promised BEFORE you sat down in that theater seat... and whether they actually delivered AFTER the credits rolled.
Each episode, a guest, a film, and one perfect (or perfectly ridiculous) tagline... pulled apart, celebrated, and occasionally roasted, with the people who know storytelling best.
Because somebody had to talk about this stuff!
📅 Thursdays — 7PM ET
Bonnie and Clyde (1967) — "They're young... they're in love... and they kill people." (with Christian Titus)
Christian Titus chose Bonnie and Clyde thinking it was a different film — and watched the actual 1967 classic for the first time for this episode. Nine words, three ellipses, one period. Warner Bros. tried to dump this film in Texas drive-ins. Somebody wrote the greatest tagline of their career for it anyway.
Sharknado (2013) — "Enough Said!" (with Kelsey Painter)
"Enough Said!" Two words. An exclamation point. The most confident piece of marketing copy in television movie history — or the laziest. Nate and guest Kelsey Painter dig into Sharknado's anti-tagline, the $6,000 script, and the chainsaw moment that made it all worth it.
True Lies (1994) — "When he said I do, he never said what he did." (with Rob Sogomonian)
Episode 1! Nate and guest Rob Sogomonian break down True Lies (1994) — the first $100M movie ever made, and the tagline nobody can claim credit for.
