Let’s go over the trailer for the new Freddie Mercury movie, Bohemian Rhapsody, in as simple a way as possible. We’re going to do it with simple Q&A numbered points. Okay, here we go:
- Is the title good? No, not really. The title is pretty hacky, and doesn’t really say much about Freddie Mercury or Queen.
- Who’s that guy playing Freddie Mercury? That’s Rami Malek. He’s on Mr. Robot.
- Oh, my weird brother likes that show. Is he a good actor? Yeah, he is.
- But is he right for this particular part? Uh, unclear at this time. The singing felt kinda weird in the trailer, right?
- Yeah, but that sounded just like Mercury dubbed over the acting. Yeah, I know. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
- Me neither. You a Queen fan? Yeah. Love Queen. I actually think “Flash” is one of their best songs.
- Wait, seriously? Of all the Queen songs? Yeah!
- That’s such a weird pick. What? No, it’s great. Just listen to it again: A-ahhhhhhh! Savior of the universe.
- Hold on, this went way off the rails. Is this movie going to be good? No idea.
- I don’t know either. This is too complicated for a Q&A format. Yeah this was a mistake.
