Trailer Jones - Anthem, Close to the Sun, and Link's Awakening

Great content. I miss the audio only version though.

Actually this stream came from a mirror universe

I think writing the scores is a nice change and doesn't have to break up the flow, but that just takes a little getting used to it. Please do let the others present their score and explain it, though, instead of handing them over to you to have you tell us the score to let them then explain why.

Jones, I see you all decided to part your hair on the opposite side and move your wedding rings from your left hands to your right... interesting changes indeed.

I liked the mention of other notable trailers at the end of the video, along with clips of them.

Haven't watched the video yet, but just adding the trailers url in the post is a big win.

I also appreciate the changes. Just one thing, Id like everyone to reveal their score on their own after writing it down. This is probably better than this handing the paper to Jones thing. nice episode!

Love the changes! Great to see you taking the feedback to heart.

Writing the scores was requested by many viewers of Trailer Jones (myself included). Basically the idea is that if one person says their score, it will have an impact on how the other two will score the trailer. In having each person write their score down before any scores are revealed, that will prevent one persons score from being impacted by another.

Yeah the writing of the scores kinda felt weird but maybe it’ll take time getting used to. Another thing that’s been a problem is others not talking enough or being cut off. Brad n Huber did speak up I feel than previous episodes and allies. Jones did say Huber was stealing the show which was probably a joke but he does tend to talk more and cut people off. Perhaps this is a side effect of trying to be concise and short, I don’t know.

I'm not on Patreon a lot so maybe I missed my chance to weigh in on this but I'm not a fan of writing the scores out. I always felt like each person having their moment to talk about it and then dropping the score at the end really helped everyone clarify their own thoughts before finally deciding on a score. I also feel like the act of writing it down breaks up the flow of the conversation a tiny bit.

Jones, I've just gotta say those score reveal botches? That's on you. It looked as though you announced your score for the Link's Awakening trailer before you had even begun to write it down which kind of defeats the purpose. I feel like a better method is to reveal your scores at the same time to build anticipation and perhaps provide a shock when scores might vary by a larger margin. Then you could first focus on a score that intrigues you and their reasoning. As suggested by others, whiteboards might help with that sort of reveal to be more visible in person, but as a viewer it might not be that necessary because you edit the score in visually anyway. That said, a decent episode overall. I guess none of the trailers were really outstanding IMO, which affects how interesting the discussion might be.

Thanks for considering some of the feedback from recent COJ episodes, Jones! I felt like the flow of conversation and the score reveal changes really helped highlight each panelist's opinion and voice on the trailers while also still allowing collaborative discussion. The selection of trailers happening to work out between ones they've seen, heard of, and weren't aware of also allowed for great POVs for each one. Looking forward to the next one!
