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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/22/25
Welcome back to the world of comic reviews! I’ve been on vacation this week, and one would think that would give me more time to read comics and review them, but nah. I’m as lazy as ever. But we’ve got a good batch this week with the likes of Absolute Flash and G.I. Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #6 for a very bombastic finale to the first story arc.
Meanwhile, I spent the majority of this week finally diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and it’s everything I hoped it would be! I still haven’t mastered combat in the way you’re supposed to, but I do well enough. There needs to be an unlimited training mode/testing ground to practice. I saw The Day the Earth Blew Up in the theaters, and that was a hoot. And then the Severance season 2 finale was the bomb, yo! It’s been a good week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #6, Absolute Flash #1, Exceptional X-Men #7 and G.I. Joe #5.
Read the rest of this entryI’m Less Interested in Elio Now
The next Pixar movie is Elio, about a boy who gets wrapped up in some alien craziness. I liked the look of the first teaser trailer. It seemed like some random boy was plucked off Earth, mistakenly believed to be Earth’s president, or something. But nah, that’s apparently not the plot at all.
Now it’s a movie about an awkward kid finding his place in the universe. Which is fine. That’s a good lesson for kids. And that eyepatch thing is very representative of kids who had to get that eyepatch thing. But this trailer really loses me. He’s a kid who wants to get abducted by aliens, that’s his quirk. And when he does, he makes an alien best friend and they gotta deal with being dorks together, and then deal with an overbearing father. It all feels very pat.
Anyway, Pixar can do whatever they like. Elio comes to theaters on June 20.

Everybody’s Gonna Have to Resubscribe to Netflix for Happy Gilmore 2
It’s happening. It’s really happening. They’ve made Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s coming to Netflix this summer. Jeez louise. Who ever could have guessed the world would come to this?
First things first, I’m a big Adam Sandler apologist. The dude is great. He’s always been great. And if his idea of making movies is to get studios to give him a ton of money so that he and his friends can goof off on vacation, who am I stop him or complain? That’s a dream job for probably everybody on Earth, and he’s making it happen, and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Second, you’re darn right I’m going to watch Happy Gilmore 2. I can’t wait to watch it! I don’t know what it’s going to be like. I don’t know if it will be an obvious crap film or just mildly OK. I’m gonna watch it and I’m gonna giggle at the Easter Eggs and callbacks and then I’ll go to bed and the next day will occur. I’ll probably have to go to work that next day. Life will move on.
Happy Gilmore 2 is coming to Netflix on July 25.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 3/15/25
I’m finally back with more robust comic reviews! Just been busy, is all. In fact, if you’re reading this, I’m once again out of town! Such is life, I suppose. At least we’ve got comics like Green Lantern Corps and Void Rivals to enjoy.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #5 because I’m a sucker for these comics! Jason Aaron will also be guesting in Scott Snyder’s Comics Writing Class this week, so I’m very excited about that!
Meanwhile, I beat Dragon Age: Veilguard and very much enjoyed the game! Solid 8/10 for me. Great character creator, solid and enjoyable gameplay, and very good characters/story/ending. All around solid RPG. I’ll finally be picking up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 this week and can’t wait to dive into that!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #5, Green Lantern Corps #2 and Void Rivals #17.
