A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

It's the moment fans have been waiting for: The Napa Boys are back. Miles Jr. (Armen Weitzman) and Jack Jr. (Nick Corirossi) are returning to the big screen (for the first time), and Collider has an exclusive look at the first teaser for the film; it's sure to bring back all your cherished memories of this classic franchise before it hits theaters on February 27, 2026. You do remember it, don't you?

In the new teaser, stirring music plays as we focus in on the iconic Sommelier's Amulet, before finally catching a glimpse of Miles, Jack, Kevin (Nelson Franklin, Black-ish), and Mitch of Mitch’s Winery (Mike Mitchell, Twisted Metal), as they prepare for another wine-soaked adventure. This time, they're joined by Puck (Sarah Ramos, Chicago Med), a podcaster who's also the Napa Boys' biggest fan. It's been years since the mysterious Sommelier last sent the Napa Boys out on a quest in the Wine Wagon...but will this one turn out to be their final adventure? Say Weitzman and Corirossi, "We love that our fans across the world are so passionate about The Napa Boys, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally let the teaser out for the fans across the world!"

Okay, What's Going On?

You're not losing your mind; there are no previous Napa Boys movies. The whole thing is a spoof of comedy sequels and Hollywood's addiction to franchises, reboots, and legacy sequels. It's a little bit American Pie and a little bit Wet Hot American Summer, with a dash of Sideways. It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, and it promises to throw audiences head-first into the deep end of a franchise that doesn't exist. It features a star-studded alt-comedy cast that includes Chloe Cherry (Euphoria), Vanessa Chester (The Lost World: Jurassic Park), Paul Rust (I Love You, Beth Cooper), Jamar Neighbors (Keanu), David Wain (Role Models), Ray Wise (Twin Peaks), Riki Lindhome (Wednesday), Natasha Leggero (Ugly Americans), Ivy Wolk (If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You), Steve Agee (Peacemaker), and Beth Dover (Orange Is the New Black).

Stars Weitzman and Corirossi co-wrote The Napa Boys, while Corirossi directed it. The film is produced by Weitzman, Mike Rosenstein (The Eric Andre Show) for Sunset Rose Pictures, and Erin Owens (Another Period). It is executive produced by comedian and actor Jerrod Carmichael.

The Napa Boys will be decanted into theaters on February 27, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
