There’s a Bob’s Burgers Movie Coming
I am still shocked at how long-lived network cartoons are these days. I guess because The Simpsons is never ending, every single follow-up cartoon with some success will also last forever. They’re still making new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad and, of course, Bob’s Burgers. But only one of those three is getting a theatrical film!
I watched Bob’s Burgers way back in the beginning, but I haven’t seen an episode in years. Same with Family Guy and American Dad. I just moved away from those cartoons. But people love it, and a movie is coming, and it looks pretty good. Here’s hoping for the best!
The Bob’s Burgers Movie arrives in theaters on May 27.

Top Gun 2 is Finally Coming Out
Top Gun: Maverick has been waiting to come out for a million years now. Because the world needs to follow up on the adventures of Maverick, who’s real name is apparently Pete Mitchell. That just seems ordinary. Anyway, we’ve got a new trailer for Top Gun: Maverick to herald it’s arrival on the big screen in two months.
And yeah, it looks fine. I’m no major fan of the original Top Gun. But I enjoy movies. And this will, theoretically, be well made. So we’ll see. But perhaps a lot of people are really excited about this one!
Top Gun: Maverick comes out on May 27.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is Just Doing All Of It
A live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie is a surefire franchise now. Multiple movies, an upcoming spin-off TV show; Hollywood has grabbed the meager success of the first movie and they’re running with it into pure madness. Despite this success, they hired a pretty terrible trailer-making company.
That movie trailer stank. It was all over the place, full of nonsense, and not particularly catchy. But then I don’t imagine the movie is going to be all that special. It does feature a live action Knuckles voiced by Idris Elba, though, so I’m torn. Will my obscure love for this random — and awesome! — video game character carry me through this sequel? We’ll find out soon enough!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 comes to theaters on April 8!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Looks So Fun!
I’m as much a fan of Nicholas Cage as the next person, so his upcoming new movie looks pretty funny. Why not take all the Nicholas Cage memes and reputation and turn that into an actual movie? And with a title like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, it couldn’t look more perfect.
Funny, weird and zany, this looks great! Can’t wait! Also, Pedro Pascal is a busy man these days. Is he making up for the fact that he’s wearing a helmet all the time in his most famous and popular role? Maybe.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent comes to theaters on April 22.
