Brace Yourselves for Coyote vs. Acme
Hollywood is weird. I don’t know if you’ve been following the behind-the-scenes nonsense regarding this new Looney Tunes movie, but it’s weird and neat all at the same time. Basically, Warner Bros. made this new animation/live action hybrid movie about Wile E. Coyote (my favorite Looney Tune) suing the Acme Corporation. But Warner Bros. is also in the middle of being gutted for parts and sold off, so the higher ups decided to shelves this movie even though it was already done. There was some outcry, deals were made, and Ketchup Entertainment (dumb name) bought the rights.
And now Coyote vs. Acme is going to come to theaters!
Looks pretty darn good to me! Looks funny, looks looney, looks to have a solid blend of live action and animation, and the trailer does a great job of playing up the anti-corporation angle. I hope people actually go out and see this movie. Nobody went and saw The Day the Earth Blew Up, the recent, fully-animated release starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. I got to see that one in theaters! And I was alone in the theater that day! I love when that happens.
Anyway, go see Coyote vs. Acme in theaters on Aug. 28.

There’s a New Season of Game Changer on the Way!
Made you look! Now that you’ve started reading this blog post, I’m going to pivot real quick and make another call to action to head over to the Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter to back this awesome project from some awesome comic creators! It’s the last day and we’re making a made dash to raise the money to make this anthology of awesome, spooky comic stories!
Now that you’re back from the Kickstarter, here’s the actual trailer for season 8 of Game Changer on Dropout.
I’m a huge fan of Dropout and Game Changer. Been a subscriber since the platform launched, spinning out of College Humor. And I’m so glad to see that it has reached mainstream appeal, even if it’s mostly through TikTok shorts or whatever. Watch however you want! But it’s definitely worth the incredibly cheap monthly subscription fee. Lots of great shows on Dropout!
And arguably the best one, Game Changer, returns with new episodes on May 18.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/19/26
Comics! You love’em. I love’em. What’s not to love? Especially when we’ve got some solid bangers like Wonder Woman and Batwoman to celebrate this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #19 for a pretty much perfect comic, kicking off the big new storyline with style and pizzazz.
Meanwhile, the Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter campaign is in its final week! They’ve got a ways to go to hit their goal, but I know they can do it and I know you lovely readers will check out the campaign and give some support to some indie comic creators! That’s what we’re all about!
Double meanwhile, I splurged and bought myself Crimson Desert and I’m definitely enjoying the game. I still feel like I’m taking it slow, considering everything I’m seeing online. But it’s a fun action RPG with a big open world to explore! Beyond that, I’m enjoying Daredevil: Born Again, enjoying Maul: Shadow Lord and the season 3 finale of Shrinking was wonderful.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #19, Batwoman #2 and Wonder Woman #32.
Read the rest of this entryThis New Street Fighter Trailer Has Me Smiling
I have no memory permanence that a live action Street Fighter trailer is coming out later this year. But a new, full trailer dropped today, and holy cow, this might be one of my most anticipated movies of the year now. This trailer is just a big, fun, silly love letter to the games, and I am here for it!
That was just so much fun! It embraces the silly nature of the characters and franchise, while establishing a groundswell of actual serious storytelling underneath. That’s perfect! We focus on the fighting tournament, on some character growth, and by the end they have to come together to stop fascism!
Mortal Kombat wishes it had a movie like that coming out this year.
Street Fighter looks to be a blast and is coming to theaters on Oct. 16.

Godzilla Minus Zero, Baby!
Godzilla Minus One was a masterpiece and now there’s a sequel coming. Because why not? Because hell yeah! Here’s our first look at Godzilla Minus Zero.
Godzilla vs. the Statue of Liberty?! Sounds reasonable to me! His second favorite place after Tokyo is definitely New York City. Maybe this is a direct remake of the 90s, American Godzilla! Or maybe it won’t be that. Who knows. We’re just gonna have to wait and see when the times comes.
Godzilla Minus Zero is coming to theaters on Nov. 6!
