Let’s Get All Godzilla Up in Here!
Godzilla Minus One comes out in America in early December, and the Toho Company is really ramping up the awesomeness. The movie looks great and looks to be very cool. You can see for yourself with this new trailer.
Beyond that trailer, they’ve also produced a 10-minute YouTube short about Godzilla fighting Megalon. Because why the hell not?! They’ve got this CGI Godzilla model, why not put him to good use and stomp Megalon? There are some rumors I’ve seen online that Godzilla will fight another monster in Minus One, but we don’t have proof of that yet — or at least I don’t. So enjoy Godzilla fighting Megalon!
And then we can all enjoy Godzilla Minus One in a month…or earlier, if you already live in Japan.

We’re Going Back to the Planet of the Apes
I was a big fan of that recent Planet of the Apes trilogy, with the realistic-looking apes. It was very well made, very dramatic, and just very damn cool. Well Hollywood never let a good franchise die, so we’re going back to that world with a fourth film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. These titles just keep getting crazier.
I think it looks cool! The same tone, same feel and same everything seems to be in place. The new film is set several generations after the first trilogy, so there won’t be any immediate character continuations. And we’re probably even getting closer in the timeline to the original Planet of the Apes. I think that would be pretty neat if this movie series comes full circle and does a remake of the original movie in this style.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes comes to theaters Memorial Day Weekend next year.

Good Burger 2 is Real, It’s Happening
The Kel Mitchell comeback is real, it’s happening. And I’m here for it. I loved All That and Kenan & Kel back in the day, and I’m all too happy to watch them revive this old, silly movie. Here’s a trailer to prove all of it.
Looks silly, looks dumb, looks exactly like something on Paramount+ should look. This is what streaming was made for! Made-for-TV movies, but with enough money to tie them into things we like. Why not fund an All That reunion movie? What about a Pete & Pete movie?! But I’ll gladly settle for Good Burger 2, for now.
Good Burger 2 comes to Paramount+ on Nov. 22.

Napoleon was a Pretty Bad Dude
There’s a big, fancy Napoleon movie coming out next month, from director Ridley Scott. The guy who made Gladiator is making a Napoleon movie. It looks pretty good. Looks epic, looks dark, looks like fun.
Who doesn’t love a good, dark, well-made historical biopic? And I’ll readily admit I don’t know enough about Napoleon and that corner of history. I kinda wanna watch this movie just to learn more about Napoleon. He was a pretty bad guy, but he did a lot history-wise, right? I guess I’ll find out soon.
Napoleon comes to theaters at Thanksgiving.

New Wonka Trailer Imminent
The Wonka movie is still coming out later this year and we’ve got a second trailer to prove it. I don’t know if you’ve seen the “Wonka Trailer Imminent” memes, but I find them hilarious. This trailer is a threat. Hollywood is punishing us, and possibly punishing Timothee Chalamet.
I was less charmed by this trailer than the last one…not that I enjoyed the last one. But apparently more of Hugh Grant’s Oompa-Loompa is too much. He’s not as funny anymore. This trailer isn’t funny.
Wonka comes to theaters on Dec. 15.
