So The Super Mario Galaxy Movie…
My memory is pretty bad these days, but I don’t think I cared for the first animated Mario movie. I don’t remember why, particularly. Of course, the film wasn’t for me. It’s for kids, and they loved it, and now it’s got a sequel coming out. And I’ll definitely see it, maybe even in theaters. I haven’t decided.
It looks fine…but it also just looks like the first movie. The animation hasn’t changed. It’s still colorful and energetic and super fun. And we recently found out that Donald Glover will be voicing Yoshi. I am very interested to see how that’s going to work. Is he going to do a Vin Diesel as Groot thing? Will Yoshi actually talk like Donald Glover?! I’m dying to find out. I still don’t like Chris Pratt as Mario.
We’ll see in a few weeks! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes out on April 1!

I’mma Gonna Recommend Strip Law on Netflix
All these years later, after starting this blog, I don’t do much original writing on this thing anymore. I still keep it going because I like reviewing comics — to an extent — but I also just like keeping my own personal corner of the internet where I can write and post whatever I want. For example, on this Monday, I’mma gonna recommend the cartoon Strip Law on Netflix. Here’s a trailer.
So I like watching these weird, mostly one-off adult animated shows on Netflix. Obviously, Netflix Animation has some great shows, like BoJack Horseman or Arcane. But they also seem to be funding these weird little smaller shows. Like Chicago Party Aunt, Hoops, Exploding Kittens, Centaurworld, Haunted Hotel; and those are just some that I’ve watched! I’m sure I’ve barely scratched the surface.
If you’re like me, then I definitely recommend Strip Law. It’s that weird sort of absurd that I absolutely love. It’s about a straight-laced lawyer learning to let his freak flag fly as he practices law on the Las Vegas Strip, with the focus on insanity over actual legal drama. And then they dial up the insanity when coming up with B and C plots for the supporting characters. It’s a funny, easily binged show that I highly recommend. And I’m not being paid to make this post.
I wish Netflix would pay me to write about their shows…
And I need to figure out how to pitch a Gamer Girl & Vixen irreverent, raunchy, adult cartoon to Netflix…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/7/26
What a week, what a week! I was off from work this week and mostly spent my time lounging around not doing much of anything. Good times. I got caught up on a couple of comic series that I’d abandoned a while ago. So that was nice. And we’ve got review for those comics, like Absolute Flash and X-Men.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #7 for doing something new and potentially interesting with the Joker.
Meanwhile, I hurt my thumb somehow so I couldn’t play anything video games with a thumb stick this week. Instead, I built some LEGO and started watching the final seasons of My Hero Academia. Let’s hope the show ends well. I also watched Strip Law on Netflix and it was good. I like watching these random adult animated shows on Netflix, and this one was particularly weird and wacky in all the ways I like.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #12, Absolute Superman #17, Batman #7 and X-Men #26.
Read the rest of this entryI Like the New Lanterns Trailer
Yesterday, we got our first trailer for the new Lanterns TV show, about Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart. I’m very excited for this show, because I’m a big fan of everything James Gunn is producing for the DCU. But the trailer looks very odd for a Green Lantern TV show, see if you can spot why.
So yeah, not much Green Lanterning in this supposed Green Lantern TV show. And you know what? I’m fine with that. Doesn’t bother me at all. As much as I enjoy the space cops and the rainbow Lantern corps, I don’t need that in every adaptation. We had that with the Green Lantern movie and it was weird. So if the showrunners and producers want to go in a different direction with this TV show, I’m perfectly fine with that. I am more than willing to let them cook.
The actors come off very well, I really like that snippet of Hal Jordan flying, and I’m confident this will be a good show.
Lanterns is coming to…whatever remains of HBO in August.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/28/26
As of today, I’m on vacation! Got a week off from work to just relax and not experience the winter anymore. Should be nice. And we get to start out with a bunch of good comics, like Iron Man and Absolute Martian Manhunter.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman because that comic can do no wrong.
Meanwhile, I started playing Subnautica: Below Zero, because it was recently free on Playstation Plus. I’ve never played the original Subnautica, but free is free. I’m enjoying it, because I like these gathering/building/exploring games. I can throw on some YouTube on the side and just mosey around. Fun so far. All my anticipated games are coming out in the fall. I’ve also started watching the recent TV adaptation of The Rainmaker, which is my all-time favorite book, at least it was when I was a teenager getting into grown up books. I don’t have a lot of faith in this show, because I’m going to be too much of a stickler.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #9, Absolute Wonder Woman #17, Iron Man #2 and Void Rivals #27.
