Obi-Wan is Looking Pretty Fly
I totally blew it for May the Fourth! It fell on a Wednesday, too, and I wasted my List of Six on some LEGO toys. Alas. Hopefully I can make up for that mistake by just posting this Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show trailer on May the Fifth. Does that still count? Probably not.
The trailer looks great! Lots of action, lots of tense moments, the promise of confrontation between Obi-Wan and Owen Lars. And the promise of some kind of confrontation between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Will it be as awesome as we all hope? I guess we’ll find out when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Disney+ on May 27.
A date where I will be heading out of town for a week-long trip. So I’m gonna miss out for several days.

Stranger Things is Finally Coming Back!
I’m a fan of Stranger Things. The first and second seasons still hold up, even if I wasn’t too enamored with the third season. But I am totally down for the upcoming fourth season, especially after this sweet new full trailer!
Looks like we’re getting a singular, Upside Down bad guy! And puberty! And other general quality horror action. So bring on Strange Things season 4 on May 27!

More Pacific Rim: Black, If That’s Your Thing
Did you know that Netflix has a cartoon set in the Pacific Rim universe? They do! And the first season was pretty good, if I remember correctly. Definitely worth a watch. Especially since a second season is coming.
I definitely remember enjoying the first season. The animation on the Jaegers is definitely cool. Though there’s zero connection to the movies. This might even take place years after the movies? I don’t quite remember. But a trailer is a trailer, especially on a Monday like this one.
Pacific Rim: Black returns for season 2 on April 19.

There’s a Bob’s Burgers Movie Coming
I am still shocked at how long-lived network cartoons are these days. I guess because The Simpsons is never ending, every single follow-up cartoon with some success will also last forever. They’re still making new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad and, of course, Bob’s Burgers. But only one of those three is getting a theatrical film!
I watched Bob’s Burgers way back in the beginning, but I haven’t seen an episode in years. Same with Family Guy and American Dad. I just moved away from those cartoons. But people love it, and a movie is coming, and it looks pretty good. Here’s hoping for the best!
The Bob’s Burgers Movie arrives in theaters on May 27.

I’ve Only Just Learned of the Awesomeness that is Pibby
So April Fool’s Day came and went this past Friday, and apparently Adult Swim did this whole thing where they have their shows invaded by a dangerous black static. It’s a crazy zombie horror thing, and is a fun way to do April Fool’s.
But in learning about this gag, I also learned about this little short for a show called Come and Learn with Pibby. It debuted last Halloween and I totally missed it! And I’m sad I did, because this looks rad as hell!
This looks awesome! Is there going to be a real Come and Learn with Pibby show? That would be bloody brilliant. Anyway, now that I know about Pibby, I’m very happy to share knowledge of Pibby with you, too.
And you can watch the entire block of Adult Swim glitch stuff right here.
