Goodby, Silverstein & Partners parodies the four major movie genres—medieval epics, spy thrillers, musicals and films in which dogs reveal that children are trapped in wells—in four great-looking spots for Netflix (directed by Anonymous Content's Markus Walker and edited by Geoff Hounsell of Arcade Edit).
