Our First Look at TV’s Green Lanterns

Yesterday, James Gunn shared our first look at Hal Jordan and John Stewart from the upcoming Lanterns TV show. And I think they look great! Kyle Chandler looks awesome as Hal, and Aaron Pierre is a wild kind of intense.

I am fully on board with this being a more grounded show. We saw what a CGI heavy Green Lantern was like on the big screen. So I’m fine with making a grounded, Earth-based detective show in which the main characters also wield these power rings, and occasionally go into space. There’s definitely a way to balance it all, and my faith in James Gunn remains unwavering, even though I know he’s not making Lanterns.

I like this look! And we better get a crossover with Guy Gardner at some point during the first season, is all I gotta say.

Frank Reynolds in Stuff is Always Funny

Comedy is subjective. But one thing that definitely makes me laugh is when YouTubers insert Danny DeVito’s Frank Reynolds character into stuff where he doesn’t belong. The latest video by eli_handle_b.wav inserts Frank into Cyberpunk 2077. I just think it’s funny!

I’ve posted about this before, with Frank inserted in the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3 or The Last of Us, and like I said, it’s always funny. And we could all use a bit of dumb funny nowadays, amiright? Anyway, watch and laugh. I know I did.

We Got An Andor Season 2 Trailer, Baby!

The second season of Andor is apparently right around the corner! We knew it was coming. The hype is real. Season 1 was a friggin’ masterpiece, and season 2 will have a lot to do. So how about we settle in and enjoy this new trailer?

Looks great! Love the song choice. Love the look of everybody. Love the snippets of dialogue. This one is gonna be good, people. We’re gonna be feasting on good TV this year. Daredevil: Born Again starts next week. We’ve got the second season of The Last of Us coming out soon, too. And now Andor at the end of April. Hot damn!

Andor season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 22.

There’s Gonna be More Twisted Metal!

I write this to you in the middle of a snowstorm, which is coming already on top of the worst winter the northeast has had in some years. So yeah, jeez. And through all of this storm, I’ve still got to buy a new car. Life is fine.

But at least we’ve got a trailer for a second season of Twisted Metal! And starring the man of the hour, Anthony Mackie!

I very much enjoyed the first season of Twisted Metal. It was a fun, silly show that had great action and took itself the right balance of silly and serious. And season two looks like it’ll be even more fun!

Also, we are not getting more Twisted Metal the game, if that’s what you thought my headline meant…sorry.

Also also, I really liked Mackie in the new Captain America film! I may or may not have a review up this week, depending on how this snowstorm goes.

Twisted Metal will return to Peacock this summer.

Now is Tom Green’s Time

Do you remember Tom Green? That wild and wacky comedian from…I wanna say the 90s? I was never a big Tom Green guy, because I definitely wasn’t cool enough to watch MTV when I was a teen. But I was fully aware of him. Who wasn’t at the time?

Anyway, seemingly at random yesterday, I stumbled upon all the trailers for, like, three different Tom Green projects coming to Amazon Prime. You’d think one would be enough, but nope…three. Which actually kind of fits with his humor, I think.

There’s a new documentary: This is the Tom Green Documentary.

Then there’s a series based around the same facts as the documentary, called Tom Green Country.

And then he seems to be doing a new stand-up special about his life in the country, Tom Green: I Got a Mule!

So if you were a big Tom Green fan or were wondering whatever happened to him, you’re going to have more than enough viewing options over the next few weeks, it would seem. I might actually watch some of these. They look pretty fun.
