Keep an Eye Out for Long Story Short
I think it’s safe to say that BoJack Horseman is my favorite television show of all time. That was such greatness! And now the creator, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, has a new show coming to Netflix called Long Story Short. I’m going to be watching, and you should too.
Looks to be a story of three siblings and their family told across all their lives. Neat concept. Should be fun. Should be hilarious and touching and emotionally devastating, hopefully! Put this one on your calendar!
Long Story Short is coming to Netflix on Aug. 22.

All Them Supermans, Animated
Welcome to a new week, everybody! Sorry I was gone over the weekend. I went home and visited the folks, with my siblings in town. So it was a nice weekend. And now it’s a Monday, and another week has begun. Oy vey. Anyway, to kick off this Monday, how about the Tell It Animated episode for Superman?
Such fun! Tell It Animated is always a hoot. And, as always, I suggest doing Robin! Plenty of live action Robin appearances, even if none of them have been all that great.

6 Thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps (Review)
At long last, the new and fourth attempt at a Fantastic Four movie has arrived at our theaters, this time by the actual Marvel Studios. Did you know that I have never seen Fan4stic? It was apparently bad and I’ve never had enough curiosity to watch it. And I knew Marvel would get the rights back eventually.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
Personally, I would have been fine had Marvel found a way to fit the Fantastic Four into the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe. I had my own idea once on how to make it work. But screw all of that because this retro, multiverse idea worked flawlessly! I loved the vibe, I loved the world, I loved the characters, I loved the movie!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryEyes of Wakanda Comes Out on Friday!
We knew the new Eyes of Wakanda cartoon was coming…but did we know that the entire 4-episode series will come out this Friday?! That’s soon! I can’t wait to watch this weekend!
Especially since we’re going to get an Iron Fist in this show! Wowzers! That’s pretty fun. I think Eyes of Wakanda is going to be about the history of Wakanda’s secret spies, traveling the world to collect Vibranium. I think it might also involve traveling dimensions? I don’t like that part. Just show us historic Wakanda in the main timeline. But I guess we’ll see what actually happens this weekend.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Friday, Aug. 1!

Some of the Sweet Comic-Con Trailers
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend and we’ve got a bunch of nifty trailers to share! Nothing as big as a new Marvel movie or DCU film, but we’ve got some TV shows and smaller flicks, so it all works out nicely, I think.
We do have one DC show, at least. Peacemaker season 2 starts next month and we got a newer, fuller trailer.
Obviously I can’t wait for season 2, so awesome there. Everything looks like it’s gonna be a ton of fun and we’ll see what sorts of shenanigans we get this time around. Me, personally, I don’t need an onscreen explanation for the differences in the DC movie universes, but we’ll see what happens.
Peacemaker returns to HBO Max on Aug. 21.
Next up is a trailer for Starfleet Academy, the next Star Trek show. It’s basically a boarding school show set in the Star Trek universe.
If I understand this probably — and I don’t fully — I think this takes place in the far, far future. Something about Star Trek: Discovery going into the future and I guess now they’ve established a new academy? I don’t know. I didn’t watch the last two seasons of Discovery. But maybe this will be a fun, clean slate start for a new show.
Starfleet Academy comes to Paramount+ early next year.
Speaking of spin-off TV shows, the second season of Gen V in the Boys universe is also on its way.
I like The Boys just fine and can’t wait for the final season. I also really enjoyed the first season of Gen V, so I’m definitely looking forward to a second season. There’s probably a very good chance that it’s going to be fun.
Gen V returns to Amazon on Sept. 17.
Lastly, but not leastly, is a trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, because the world doesn’t stop.
I watched Spinal Tap many years ago, once I was an adult, and it was good, I’m sure. That they went and made a sequel before they all die? Fine by me! I did just watch and enjoy Happy Gilmore 2, so who am I to debate the existence of Spinal Tap II? Exactly!
Spinal Tap II is coming to theaters on Sept. 12.
