Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Looks Neat!
Another year here is, and so we have another wave of fun new cartoons on Netflix! At least I think that’s how it works. Anyway, coming out later this month is Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. I just heard of this show when I spotted this nifty trailer on YouTube and I say it looks cool. I’m definitely going to watch.
If Netflix is so keen on starting new cartoons, somebody let them know about the awesomeness that is Gamer Girl & Vixen, huh? Netflix can totally have my phone number!
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts comes out on Jan. 14!

My 6 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2020
2020 is going to be a great year for video games — hopefully! Around this time of year, I usually put together a list of my most anticipated movies. But honestly, there aren’t too many movies in the new year I’m really excited about. Whereas I’m practically giddy about some of the great video games we’ve got coming up!
Last year wasn’t a big year for video games for me. I spent about 90% of the year just playing Red Dead Redemption Online, and was happy for it. I’m currently loving the heck out of Death Stranding and its meticulous gameplay. And I’ve got a few other games in the pocket to pick up next. Hopefully those will hold me over until some of these gems come out!
Join me after the jump for six video games I am quite excited about in 2020! And feel free to share some of your own anticipated games in the comments!
The New Mutants Movie is Finally Happening!
What a long, strange trip it’s been! Back when FOX Studios still owned the X-Men, they commissioned a spin-off film based on the New Mutants from the comics. FOX went ahead and actually made the film starring the classic comic characters like Cannonball and Wolfsbane, and they made it into a horror movie.
The New Mutants film was supposed to come out…either last year or the year before, but it got indefinitely delayed while Disney went about buying FOX. Everybody thought Disney would just shelve the project, or maybe quietly air it on Disney+ just to get rid of it.
But nope! A new trailer came out today with the promise that The New Mutants will be in theaters on April 3! Fancy that.
Trailer looks pretty darn cool. It succeeds in taking these mutants and putting them in a horror film, that’s for sure. Things look scary. But will it be scary? Will it be a quality film at all? Who knows! But you can be darn sure I’ll be in the theater to find out.
Perhaps now the FOX X-Men franchise can end with a good movie instead of Dark Phoenix last year.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/4/20
Happy New Year, everybody! It’s 2020, so we’ve got a whole new year of comic book fun to look forward to! The year starts off on a strong foot, with enjoyable issues of Doctor Doom, Lois Lane and the kickoff to the new Thor by Donny Cates! He does a pretty solid job starting off.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the new issue of X-Men for finally doing something worthy of the new status quo of Dawn of X! Also, Apocalypse is interesting for the first time ever.
A mutant of culture
Meanwhile, my brother got me the first Saga compendium for Christmas. It’s a pretty huge book, containing upwards of 50 issues. I’m both tempted and fearful about reading all that Saga again. Someday I’ll to give it a shot, for sure.
Comic Reviews: Doctor Doom #4, Lois Lane #7, Marauders #5, Thor #1 and X-Men #4.
Just, Like, A Couple of Weird Movie Trailers
Look, it’s still technically the New Year’s holiday. Not much is happening in the world. I definitely don’t feel like doing too much work. But I am always up for sharing new movie trailers with you loyal henchies! I love movie trailers, and there are definitely some weird ones coming out recently.
First up is Gretel & Hansel, a modern horror re-telling of the classic fairy tale. Your guess is as good as mine.
Then we have A Quiet Place Part II! The first one was a successful horror movie, and this sequel…looks to capitalize on that!
I liked the first one well enough. I’m sure I’ll see it’s sequel.
