There’ll Be a New Wes Anderson Movie This Year!
Wes Anderson is probably my favorite Hollywood director. I don’t care much or think much about directors, but Wes Anderson is special, and we all know why. He makes Wes Anderson movies, and I love them all so much. And if, like me, you love these weird and wacky movies, then the trailer for The Phoenician Scheme is pure Wes Anderson.
Every new trailer for every new Wes Anderson movie is always the most Wes Anderson thing ever produced. He just keeps reaching new peaks of his own unique style. It’s weird and wild! There are enough plot points to make out some semblance of a story, but otherwise, this is just a madcap romp of famous actors doing Wes Anderson-y things. And I’m fully on board for that. Can’t wait!
The Phoenician Scheme comes to theaters on May 30, so less than two months away!

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/5/25
Oh boy, what a week. This year has really been kicking me down, and I’m not even just talking about the wide world of crumbling society. It’s just been…that kind of week. Anyway, new comics keep coming out, and they main fun enough, like the start of Absolute Green Lantern.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #6 for the absolute best issue so far in this already stellar series! It just keeps getting better!
Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as I always knew I would. Just taking my time living in this game. I watched the first season of Paradise on Hulu and found it merely OK, other than a few standout moments or episodes. And I’m currently really enjoying the first season of The Residence on Netflix, which is a murder mystery set at the White House. Highly recommended.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #1, Absolute Superman #6 and X-Men #14.
Read the rest of this entrySome Delightful Movie Trailers for This Friday
We’ve got the Minecraft movie coming soon, so I assume that’s the reason for a bunch of new movie trailers arriving on our doorstep this week. And seeing as how I don’t have all the time in the world, I’m just gonna lump them all together in a single Friday post! That’s how I roll. Let’s start with something awesome.
The Naked Gun is getting a modern reboot/sequel! Starring Liam Neeson! And it looks pretty darn funny so far.
The original Naked Gun movies are all-time classics, and this trailer looks like things will stay funny and wacky. I love that part. And they tackle the OJ Simpson dilemma right up front and it’s pretty darn funny. So let’s definitely go with this one!
The Naked Gun is coming to theaters on Aug. 1.
Next up is M3gan 2.0, the sequel to that creepy killer doll movie. And as one might expect, the twist for the sequel is pretty predictable. But it might still be good.
I think I liked the first M3gan. I remember watching it and I remember parts of it. But I don’t remember my thoughts or opinion on it. Weird. Anyway, this sequel looks like something one might expect from such a sequel. Though I’m disappointed that the new evil doll looks like a person instead of a doll. That’s also a weird choice.
M3gan 2.0 comes to theaters on June 27.
Just to shake things up, let’s check out the trailer for Fountain of Youth, coming to AppleTV+. Normally I wouldn’t really have anything to say about this trailer, but man…it looks like something made by committee.
And though it might look like something made by committee…it also looks…good? Ish? Like, disposable movie nonsense. But the sort of disposable movie nonsense you can just watch and mostly enjoy. It’s got some good actors, at least.
Fountain of Youth comes to streaming on May 23.

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.
