More Animated Star Wars!
Remember Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire? Those animated shorts from the past few years, that highlighted a couple of special characters? I barely do! But they were alright. Definitely watchable. Well we’re getting more! Tales of the Underworld! Featuring a pair of really cool bounty hunter characters.
I can take or leave Cade Bane. Never been all that interested in him, for whatever reason. He’s fine. I’m far more interested in Asajj Ventress! I’ve always liked her. And I just recently finished Bad Batch, and this version of her appeared for a single episode. I’m all for having her exist as a badass ronin with a yellow lightsaber. I’m perfectly happy with that being her place in the Star Wars Universe!
We don’t have long to wait for this one. Tales of the Underworld comes out on May 4, Star Wars Day.

Severance for Introverts, by Only Leigh
One of my favorite internet cartoonists is Only Leigh, on YouTube! She does fun work, with great voice acting, but she doesn’t post often because (I hope) she’s busy on a bunch of other big projects and work! But she came out with a random video to celebrate the end of Severance the other day!
Don’t worry, there are no spoilers for the TV show Severance on AppleTV+ — which I highly recommend. It’s a great show that lives up to all the hype it gets. And the season 2 finale was excellent! Just like this cartoon.
And just like, hopefully, the rest of this week. Sigh. It’s only Tuesday.

Andor and Doctor Who: A Day for Season 2 Trailers
Yesterday was a day for season 2 trailers, because we got two of them for highly anticipated shows. What a joyful cornucopia of content! I’m excited for both of these shows, and both trailers are solid.
First up is Andor, which has another full trailer. It doesn’t live up to the fun and energy of the first trailer we got a month ago. But another look at Andor is good by me.
Looks good! And looks the same as we’ve seen. Looks like all of the characters come back, and tensions rise, and the Rebellion takes shape. Should be a nice season of political intrigue in the Star Wars universe, which is what we all want to see.
Andor season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 22.
Next up is another trailer for the new season of Doctor Who! We had a first trailer earlier this month, and I think this one is even stronger.
This looks great! Look at the effects. Look at the action. And we get a stronger sense of the overall story. I really dig how this looks and can’t wait to watch! Ncuti Gatwa is a great Doctor, and I hope he has all sorts of upcoming adventures.
Doctor Who season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 12.

Super Trailer Thursday!
For some reason, a bunch of interesting trailers have been coming out this week. And I love trailers. And they’re easy to share when I’m otherwise busy. So how about we enjoy a couple of trailers for shows and movies I have a vague interest in?
Like the live action trailer for Lilo & Stitch!
I enjoy the animated Lilo & Stitch as much as the next person. And I don’t care for the Disney live action movies as much as the next person. Heck, the live action Snow White comes out, like, next week. Does anybody care beyond the haters? Still, who doesn’t enjoy Stitch shenanigans?
Lilo & Stitch live action comes to theaters on May 23.
Next up is an animated show on Netflix that I just learned about: Devil May Cry! I never played the games, but I’ve enjoyed the animated Castlevania shows, so maybe this will also be good?
It looks pretty good. I’m all in favor of turning classic video games into cool new anime shows. I even did a List of Six suggesting some other shows! And maybe this will be a faithful adaptation and I’ll actually find out what Devil May Cry is about. Won’t that be something?
Devil May Cry, the series, comes to Netflix on April 3.
Lastly, there’s going to be a new season of Poker Face, the mystery show starring Natasha Lyonne and created by Rian Johnson.
For some reason, I didn’t care for the first season of Poker Face. It did nothing for me! Even though I enjoy Lyonne’s work and am a huge fan of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Just something about Poker Face didn’t click for me. So I don’t even know if I’ll watch this. But some of you might, so I thought I’d share.
Poker Face season 2 comes to Peacock on May 8.

Another Look at The Last of Us Season 2
The second season of The Last of Us is only one month away! April is gonna be a great month for television, between TLOU and Andor. I can’t wait! But I have to wait. And while waiting, I can watch this new trailer we got recently, and share it with all of you.
Looks good to me! I loved The Last of Us 2 the game, and I can’t wait for that drama to make its way into the show. I have full faith that the showrunners will do right by all that good character stuff, and we get hints of it in this trailer. So great trailer, I say!
The second season of The Last of Us comes to MAX on April 13.
