Daredevil: Born Again is Coming Soon!

Daredevil: Born Again is coming to Disney+ on March 4! And that’s according to it’s first official trailer, which arrived yesterday! Don’t read this, watch the trailer!

This looks super exciting. Just like everybody else, I’m very much loving the idea of bringing back the Netflix Daredevil show with more seasons. Charlie Cox and his pals are just so perfect as the Daredevil cast, and his few appearances in Spider-Man and She-Hulk have only whet the whistle. We need him back for reals!

Hopefully Born Again lives up to all the hype. The fans know exactly what they want, and surely Disney can’t be oblivious to that. And while you can’t always just give fans what they want…this is an expensive TV show we’re talking about, with a lot of the MCU’s future hanging on its success. Are Disney and Marvel going to do right by the fans? Or are they going to change things in an attempt to be different?

We’ll find out when Daredevil: Born Again comes to Disney+ on March 4!

My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures for 2025

We’re deep into January now, which means this article is pretty late — but also not so late that some of these things have come to pass yet. They’re still in our future, so it’s still safe to talk about them like that.

As I become a bitter old man, all I really have let to cling to are pop cultures like video games, TV shows and movies. And 2025 promises to be a very good year for content, in a world that relies on more and more content. So let’s talk about them for the year ahead!

And feel free to share your own anticipated pop cultures in the comments below!

TV Trailer Thursday!

There hasn’t been much to post about this week. I live in the northeast, so I’m buried in several feet of snow that just isn’t going anywhere. Life is misery. But a pair of random trailers showed up yesterday for some streaming TV shows I’m looking forward to, so I thought I’d bundle them up and share!

First up is the third season of Reacher, the Amazon Prime show where Jack Reacher beats people up for the greater good. Nothing much to spoil in this trailer; it’s just Reacher in a bunch of new situations.

And I’ll probably definitely watch! Or at least I’ll put it on my to-watch list and hopefully get to it eventually. The first two seasons are solid. I’m honestly surprised we’re only up to season 3 with Reacher. Wild.

Anyway, Reacher returns to Prime in February.

Next up is the fourth season of Mythic Quest on AppleTV+! Some spoilers in this trailer, mostly maybe?

I took forever to get around to watching this show, because I never had a reason to get AppleTV. But I’m fully caught up at this point because this show is awesome, and AppleTV is awesome! So many great shows. I’m currently watching the second season of Shrinking and it’s just as good as the first so far. So hopefully the fourth season of Mythic Quest can live up to the other seasons!

Mythic Quest returns to Apple on Jan. 29!

My 6 Favorite Things of 2024

Welp, the world keeps spinning and we’ve reached the end of another year. It was a crap year full of mostly crap entertainment, and I’m coming up empty in terms of empathy and interest. Following the presidential election, I’m opting to be more cynical these days as a coping mechanism. This was also the year I took a back seat on posting all the time. This was a year.

In good news, I finally started my own original comic — Cover Bard — and am halfway done with the first issue. I need to make a big post about it. And the second volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen is complete and headed to the printers, to be distributed and available for sale early next year. So those were some good things that happened. We also had a ton of great TV shows, but not a lot of great movies or video games. It was a weird year.

But I like putting together a list like this, so join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from 2024! And feel free to share your own in the comments below.

Toon Trailer Thursday!

Lots of trailers this week. I love a week that gives us a whole bunch of movie or TV or video game trailers, because I love watching and sharing trailers. Today we’ve got a pair of upcoming animated shows making their return!

First up is the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne, the sequel series to the truly excellent first Castlevania show on Netflix. I can safely say I don’t remember anything from the first season of Nocturne, which isn’t a good sign…

Looks like a fun, gory, action series to me! Which is exactly what the first show and the first season were all about. So yeah, I’ll definitely be tuning in to check out season 2…after finding a season 1 recap video on YouTube somewhere…

Castlevania: Nocturne returns to Netfix on Jan. 16.

Also returning next month is the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon!

Count me among the fans who didn’t think season 4 was very good. This show was an insanely funny and crazy bit of television in the first two or three seasons, but then swiftly fell off…to the point that I haven’t even watched the spin-off Kite-Man series! But I’m not about to give up on Harley Quinn completely and I will be back for season 5!

Harley Quinn returns to Max…also on Jan. 16! Neat!
