There’s Gonna Be a Fight! Godzilla vs. Kong!
Behold! The rematch of the century! The slobberknocker to end all slobberknockers! Godzilla is gonna fight King Kong once again on the big screen! And for some reason, the first trailer seems to favor Kong…
What’s up with that?! The movie clearly appears to favor King Kong! Hello?! Godzilla is far more popular! Godzilla is our boy! Our collective boy! We should all be in Godzilla’s corner. But I suppose we’re going to have to watch the movie to find out what really happens.
Also, it seems another generic white male actor has been brought in to star in the film. What is up with that? Are they supposed to be interchangeable? And even though Millie Bobby Brown is coming back, and even though Godzilla: King of the Monsters introduced those Mothra twins, we apparently still need a white male as the lead character?
What’s up with that?
Godzilla vs. Kong is coming to both theaters and HBO Max at the same time on March 26.

Willy’s Wonderland is Going for Tilt
With Hollywood still in hibernation because of the pandemic, the rest of the world is making movies however they can. Which brings us to Willy’s Wonderland, a Nicholas Cage movie wherein somebody decided to beat Five Nights at Freddie’s to the punch.
Looks dumb! But it also looks watchable. And perhaps I’m just saying that because movies are weird right now. As some of you might remember, I host a movie review podcast through my work, so I’m always on the lookout for new movies to watch in this increasingly barren landscape. And this looks…like an option!
Willy’s Wonderland comes out on Feb. 13.

I Stand By Power Rangers Being a Good Movie
The Power Rangers reboot movie from 2017 was good! I really liked it! I loved the character development and exploration, and…the movie in general. I suppose the suits weren’t very toy-etic. But I still enjoyed the movie.
Doesn’t meant I won’t share fun mocking videos, like the Pitch Meeting guy!
This dude makes consistently fun videos for Screen Rant. I definitely recommend adding him to your YouTube rotation.
His Pitch Meeting for Wonder Woman 1984 hits all the nails on all the heads.
And that’s a good way to spend a Tuesday!

There Are Still Honest Trailers!
Welp, things are pretty crazy in America these days. But this isn’t a political blog, so let’s waste a Friday watching the Honest Trailer for Shawshank Redemption! Didn’t that movie come out decades ago? Yep! But there are no new movies coming out, and Screen Junkies needs something to parody!
This was a solid effort. Shawshank Redemption is a masterpiece, and might as well get this classic internet treatment. And now I’m gonna just go relax.

6 Thoughts on Wonder Woman 1984
Welp, Wonder Woman 1984 has arrived and it has landed with a big, dull thud. Reviewers and superhero movie fans across this great internet are ripping the sequel to shreds, and I don’t necessarily think they’re wrong. I watched Wonder Woman 1984 on HBO Max and…it was fine. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t think it was terrible, but I can’t say I particularly cared much for it.
Movie Rating: 5/10 – Alright
I enjoyed the first Wonder Woman movie well enough. And I’ve liked most of DC’s movie output since then, especially Aquaman and Shazam. But Wonder Woman 1984 is a real callback to the age of cheesy or bad superhero movies. I’ve seen a lot of people compare it to the Christopher Reeves Superman movies, or the original Wonder Woman TV show, but I don’t know enough about either to make that comparison. For me, this is more along the lines of Spider-Man 3, too full of stuff that just comes along and doesn’t work well together.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of Wonder Woman 1984. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie!
