TV Trailers for a Monday!
I was really busy with work last week and didn’t post much of anything. My bad. This week might see a ton of new snowfall, so that will suck as well. But rather than ignore this blog and take the easy way out, I’m gonna share some TV show trailers that came up recently! I love that sort of thing.
First up is The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. That sounds like a great pairing.
And it sounds like it could be a fun show. I like fun shows. I like Morgan and Radcliffe. I’ll probably definitely check this one out. Says it’s from the team that created 30 Rock, so that’s a very good sign.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins comes to…actual broadcast NBC, neat…on Feb. 23, so there was a sneak peak from just last night.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of Ted. That should be a hoot!
I liked the movies, I liked the first season; this should be a no-brainer watch. It’s just plain funny. With plenty of heart. Hopefully this gets as many seasons as Family Guy! And then we get a Ted 3, featuring these characters.
Ted returns to Peacock on March 5.
How about a second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters? I liked the first season well enough, though I think it went further and weirder than I was expecting or hoping.
Second season seems to be more of the same. Monsters. Weird Hollow Earth nonsense. Maybe some good character stuff? I dunno. It’s just fun that we’ve got a Godzilla TV show.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns to AppleTV on Feb. 27.
Lastly, there’s going to be a third season of Shrinking, which is one of the best shows on TV nowadays. I can’t praise Shrinking enough. It’s from the same people who made Scrubs (not looking forward to that revival) and the first season of Ted Lasso.
Can’t wait! Shrinking is that damn good. Watch the first two seasons if you can. It’s so heartfelt, so emotional, and also damn funny. Sitcoms don’t get much better than Shrinking.
Season 3 comes to Apple TV on Jan. 28! So it’s coming soon! How exciting.

Here’s a Nifty Trailer for Wonder Man
The next Marvel Studios project to come out will be the Wonder Man TV show at the end of this month, and I’m excited. I have not given up on the MCU and I think this show looks neat. I think it’s going in a fun, weird direction, one that is perfectly captured in this new trailer that came out this week.
Looks good to me! I like a good trailer, one with some nifty editing and real style. We get a bit more of an understanding to Simon Williams in this one, from his powers to his career to everything else. And I’m fully on board! I wanna see the MCU tackle the very idea of Hollywood superhero fatigue. And it looks quirky and funny, which I also enjoy. So I’m here for all of this!
Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ on Jan. 27.

My 6 Favorite Things of 2025
2025 was a horrible year. I had to buy both a new car and a new computer, both of which I’m still paying off. The world went even more to shit. I’m discovering in real time that my new landlord isn’t going to spring for plowing the snow out of my driveway. Marvel movies are doing poorly at the box office. And Grand Theft Auto VI was delayed until next year, if we’re lucky.
So boo on 2025!
But one thing I like to do every year is a roundup of my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from the past year. My favorite movies, TV shows, comics and more. Why not? Every website does this at this time of year. Why not try to lift my own spirits with writing about my favorite things? And keep in mind, this is not a list of the best media, it’s my own personal list of favorites from the past year. Your mileage may vary.
Read the rest of this entryI Very Much Enjoy the First Half of the New Stranger Things
I really liked the first half of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. I’ve always been a big fan of the show, and I’m very eager to see how it all ends. The action, characters, surprises and pay-offs were quite excellent. So here’s hoping the second half and finale are just as good!
How about a trailer for all of it? Don’t watch if you haven’t seen the first half, yet.
Nothing too specific or revealing, which is nice, and the promise of a couple great team-ups and scenes, which is great. Everything a trailer and a teaser should be.
The second half of the Stranger Things final season arrives on Christmas Eve or Day, and I’ll be out of town, so who knows when I’ll get to see. Then the finale on New Year’s. I’m debating whether or not to see it in theaters just for the event of it all…though I don’t know if it’ll even be playing locally. We’ll see!

One Last Season of The Boys!
Next year will see the fifth and final season of The Boys, which has been an excellent show. I was a fan of the comic, I’m a fan of the show, and I’ve even enjoyed that Gen V spin-off. Good times all around, I say. And we’ve got out first trailer for the final season.
Looks good to me! All the stakes are there. Our heroes are lined up to be heroes. Our villains are gonna be villains to the end. I fully trust the showrunners to bring us home and deliver a great final season. I’m quite confident it won’t be anything like the final story arc on the comic, and that’s fine. I don’t need a faithful adaptation. The show has earned the right to be its own thing.
The final season of The Boys comes to Amazon Prime on April 8.
