Star Wars: The Acolyte Looks Nifty Keen
On May the Fourth, we got a new trailer for Star Wars: The Acolyte, the upcoming Jedi show set during the High Republic Era. As foolish as it may be, I’m still optimistic for new Star Wars content. Sometimes it’s amazing, like Andor, and sometimes it’s trash, like Tales of the Empire from this past weekend. But I am not a discerning fan. I’ll watch whatever.
I think it looks alright. We have a lot of content with Jedi, but we don’t have a lot of content with a whole order of Jedi. What’s that going to be like? I think it should be fun to look at a world where Jedi are at the height of their power. And this one is something of a murder mystery as well, even though the trailer pretty much gives away the killer’s identity right away, so…no mystery?
Still, we’ll find out exactly what Acolyte is like when it comes to Disney+ on June 4, which will be here sooner than we realize.

New Season of The Boys is Gonna Be Gnarly
The Boys is a pretty great show. I enjoyed the comic, but the show has definitely deviated a ton from the comics and is its own thing. And that thing is hugely entertaining! We got a trailer yesterday for the upcoming fourth season!
I don’t remember if the fourth season will be the last or not…probably not? But it looks awesome, looks to be more goodness, and the students from Gen V are mixed in there as well. That should be a hoot! The whole thing should be a ton of fun to watch and I can’t wait.
Oh, also, happy Star Wars Day! I don’t have anything Star Warsy to share…definitely gonna watch Tales of the Sith this weekend.
The Boys new season comes to Amazon Prime on June 13.

A Reminder That Sweet Tooth is a Show, and It’s Good
There are so many TV shows to watch these days that I lose track and forget a few of them. And nobody talks about the smaller shows, so they come and go and I miss them. I was two months late to the second season of that new Masters of the Universe cartoon and it was awesome! I almost missed the second season of Velma!
Fortunately, I do randomly catch the occasional trailer, like this one for the third and final season of Sweet Tooth. I really enjoy this show, though I forget it exists when I’m not actively watching it.
Sweet Tooth is a great show! As I understand, it’s very different from the comic, but only because it’s sweeter and nicer than the apparently gruesome comic. This is a fun show with fun characters, and I’m definitely looking forward to season 3.
Too bad it doesn’t come to Netflix until June 6, so I’ll probably forget it exists.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Fallout
Like many people, I had my doubts about a Fallout TV show. Video game adaptations have a bad reputation, even though I still have faith in most of them. And I love Fallout as much as the next gamer. So could they pull it off? Could they make it work? Apparently, they can knock it out of the goddam park!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was a little worried after seeing the first teaser trailer for the Fallout show, but the second trailer was awesome and I was fully on board. I don’t think Amazon Prime should have released the whole show in one day, I think Fallout could have benefited from a weekly release, but those choices aren’t mine to make. I managed to finally watch all the episodes this week so it’s now review time!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the first season of Fallout. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Man, I got nothing this week. No good movie trailers are coming out. No new casting news. Nothing random going on. I was worried I wouldn’t have anything to even post for three days in a row! But I’ve gathered some random stuff I found from the past few days to share, just so I can appear alive. If I’m not posting on this blog, do I even exist?
Anyway, Marvel shared this new artwork of the Human Torch back on 4/4 day, April 4. I think it looks great!
Everybody clued in quickly to the futuristic city in the background, lending further credence to the idea that Fantastic Four takes place in an alternate reality. That’s disappointing to me. But I have loved everything we’ve seen so far about this retro-futuristic concept, so perhaps I’ll get over it. I just don’t like the idea of the F4 existing in an alternate reality and coming into the MCU proper universe. Why not just figure out a way to have them exist in the right reality from the beginning? Ah well.
Also, in case it needs to be stated again, I’m totally fine with Julia Garner as Silver Surfer. I think the movie is just going to do a Silver Surfer origin where Shalla-Bal saves Zenn-La instead of Norrin Radd, and that’s fine by me. I’ve loved Silver Surfer since I was a kid, and I have no problem with this gender swapped take on the character. Bring it on!
The other tidbit I randomly found is that the Fallout TV show is coming two days early. All 8 episodes will debut on Amazon Prime on Wednesday evening, April 10. So tomorrow!
Looks like those are my end-of-week/weekend plans! That show looks great and I have high hopes! But then, of course, I’m also a guy who liked the Halo TV show, so what do I know?
Anyway, I’m gonna go try to find more content to post…
