Netflix Trailer Bonanza!
Over the weekend, Netflix must have had some kind of exhibitor conference or something, because they released a bunch of trailers for their upcoming movies and projects. Netflix and all streaming services are very bad at marketing their awesome shows and movies, so it makes sense that they’d drop all these trailers at once in a bingable format.
At least it gives me something to post and talk about on a Monday!
First up is the trailer for Happy Gilmore 2. It’s happening. There’s no stopping it now. I’m definitely going to watch. Does watching this movie mean I support studios putting out this kind of low effort slop? Maybe, but I’ve reached a point where I’m too old to care. I’m just gonna do whatever the hell I want and hopefully I’m entertained. That’s all that matters anymore.
Looks so dumb. Chubbs has a son with the exact same wooden hand joke? C’mon, Adam Sandler! But again, I can’t be expecting too much. Just roll with it.
Happy Gilmore 2 comes out on July 25.
Next up, our first look at Wake Up Dead Man, the threequel in the Knives Out series of Benoit Blanc mysteries! I’m super excited for this one.
And it looks great! Definitely did not expect this gothic tone, but then I suppose I had no expectations. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle, but what do I know? Love the spookiness already. It’ll be a shame when Rian Johnson takes a bit of a break after this one, but by all means, let the man rest. Hopefully we get plenty more Benoit Blanc mysteries in the future.
Wake Up Dead Man comes out on Dec. 12.
Now we’ve got Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein! I’m sure I heard he was making this at some point.
Looks awesome! I’m not classic monster expert, nor am I bored of people remaking all these classic monster movies. Del Toro can try his hand at whatever creature feature he wants; he’s earned his reputation. This is probably going to be one of those movies that makes you wonder why Netflix didn’t push to put it on the big screen. Surely they’d make some good money that way? But, again, what do I know? The monster looks so freaky there at the end.
Frankenstein comes out in November.
Lastly, we have our first look at the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Everybody always thinks the long break between seasons of this show will somehow hurt the series, but season 4 was a total banger!
Looks good to me! I’m fully on board with Stranger Things, and I look forward to them going out on their own terms, however they want, with a big, explosive, action-packed, most likely emotional final season. I have no idea how they might plan to end this, so I say let them do whatever they want! It’ll no doubt be fun and entertaining.
The final season of Stranger Things will come out in three parts, on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Solid strategy.
Looks like a solid slate of things to watch this year on Netflix. Good times!

Ironheart is Coming Soon!
The Ironheart TV show will arrive on Disney+ next month, and Marvel has finally put out a full trailer for the show! I think it looks good and I’m definitely going to watch.
I thought Ironheart was fine in Wakanda Forever, and I’ll watch anything Marvel puts out, with an open mind. I didn’t have much faith in an Agatha Harkness TV show, but Agatha All Along was really fun! Even Echo was entertaining. So you best believe I’ll watch and hopefully enjoy Ironheart.
The first half of the show will come out on June 24, and then the second batch of three episodes will come out in July.

New Season of Peacemaker is Gonna be Sweet
Late last week, we got the first look of the second season of Peacemaker, and it looks super sweet. It should go without saying that the first season of Peacemaker was phenomenal television. Loved every second of that show. So you best believe I can’t wait for season 2.
And season 2 looks great! I’m not some big continuity wonk. It doesn’t matter to me that season 1 was part of the previous DC movieverse, and season 2 will be part of the new movieverse. It’s all just Peacemaker to me. And I can’t wait to see these loveable losers get up to some new hilarious and heartwarming mischief.
Peacemaker returns to HBO on Aug. 21.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
It’s a shame that Andor has already started because I’ve already stopped thinking about Daredevil: Born Again. Heh. But still, I’m here to talk about my thoughts on the first season of the new Daredevil show. And like the Marvel Zombie I am, I enjoyed the season, though I don’t think it lived up to the hype.
TV Show Rating: 7/10 – Good
I watched and enjoyed the original three seasons of Daredevil when they came out on Netflix. I binged them just like everybody else, and I enjoyed all three seasons. I’m not the biggest Daredevil fan, but I’ve read a lot of his comics and I’m always in favor of more Marvel entertainment. I’ve definitely been fully on board with bringing back the original actors to revive the Netflix show. I just wish it had been a little stronger.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryMurderbot Looks Like a Fun Show
For my money, I think AppleTV+ has the best shows when it comes to streaming. I watch all sorts of TV shows across all streaming services, and AppleTV+ is pretty much nothing but bangers. I haven’t loved all of their shows equally, but they have more hits than misses. And next up is Murderbot, which looks really fun.
I’m a little disappointed when he takes off his helmet to look human…but the narration and comedy and sci-fi elements look like they’re really fun! So Murderbot is definitely on my list of upcoming shows to watch!
Murderbot comes to AppleTV+ on May 16.
