The Continental Doesn’t Look Half Bad
I still think it’s a little bit of a stretch to make a TV show about the hotel from John Wick. But Hollywood can spend their money on whatever they want, I’ll probably watch. This trailer looks pretty cool as an action, gunfire sort of show set in the 1970s. That’s a solid premise.
I’ll try to give The Continental a watch. I wonder if it’s gonna end with a baby John Wick coming into the hotel. We’ll see. Again, it looks like a perfectly fun action show. And it’s only 3 episodes long. That works for me.
The Continental comes to Peacock on Sept. 22.

Huh, There’s Still More Disenchantment
I have not particularly enjoyed the Disenchantment series on Netflix. I love me some Matt Groening shows, and am looking forward to that new season of Futurama that’s out, but Disenchantment just kinda isn’t good. But hey, it’s a Friday, I need content, and here’s a big trailer for the next and final season.
I don’t remember what happened in the last season. I don’t remember if I even watched it. When did it come out? I don’t even have the energy to look that up. It’s Friday morning, I gotta get to work, and all we can really do is enjoy a nice cartoon trailer. There is so much stuff coming out these days.
The new Disenchantment season comes to Netflix on Sept. 1.

6 Thoughts on Secret Invasion (Review)
Longtime readers of my blog will know that I’m a big Marvel Cinematic Universe apologist. I’m not ashamed of it. I enjoyed both Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I have enjoyed all of Phase 4 and everything we’ve seen so far in Phase 5. I am not someone who is ringing the bell that Marvel is dead. But even I can’t work up too much energy for Secret Invasion now that it’s over.
TV Show Rating: 5/10 – Alright
I loved the trailers. I had high hopes for the series. But ultimately, I don’t think Secret Invasion was anything special or all that memorable. I don’t think it was a bad show. It’s going to take a lot for me to say any Marvel Studios project is actively bad. I watched every episode. I thought they were all largely fine. It started stronger than it ended. But, overall, it was a big nothing of a show. Just fine. Just alright. Now let us never mention it again.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of Secret Invasion. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Loki wasn’t my favorite of the first batch of Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Disney+, but I enjoyed it like everybody else. So of course I’m interested in watching a second season — the first and only show to get a second season so far! What’s up with that? Where’s my second season of She-Hulk?!
Anyway, looks like fun! Loki and Mobius on a quest to save all timelines, having all sorts of wild adventures. Old characters, new characters, and a dangerous Kang the Conqueror above and beyond it all. Looks like more goodness to all degrees, and that’s a good thing.
Loki season 2 comes to Disney+ on Oct. 6.

There’s Gonna Be More Castlevania Cartoon
The Castlevania show on Netflix was awesome as hell. Badass vampire and monster action, great heroes, great villains, and just an all around wonderful story across four seasons. But it came to an end and surely that was that. Nope! We’re gonna get a sequel show following a different Belmont.
Castlevania: Nocturne looks cool. Take everything awesome from the first show and move it into the French Revolution. Why not? Looks like fun. They’ve lost Warren Ellis as the head writer, it would seem. No reason to fear. He was good, but perhaps these new guys will be good too.
Castlevania: Nocturne comes to Netflix on Sept. 28.
