My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures for 2025
We’re deep into January now, which means this article is pretty late — but also not so late that some of these things have come to pass yet. They’re still in our future, so it’s still safe to talk about them like that.
As I become a bitter old man, all I really have let to cling to are pop cultures like video games, TV shows and movies. And 2025 promises to be a very good year for content, in a world that relies on more and more content. So let’s talk about them for the year ahead!
And feel free to share your own anticipated pop cultures in the comments below!

The second episode of Deep Space Discounts is out and I’m sharing! DeepBlueInk is making fun internet content, and I am fully here for it! He’s got a fun style, and this show is top notch for amateur, internet animation!
Everything is developing nicely and the characters are fun! The voice acting is also really great! I hope DeepBlueInk had fun making this show and I hope he can make more beyond! Though I’m sure it’s time consuming and expensive.
Believe me, if I had the money, I’d fund a Gamer Girl & Vixen show like this…maybe someday.
Anyway, stay tuned for future episodes!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/11/25
Let me tell you, folks, it has been a week. I live in the northeast and we were buried under several feet of snow last weekend, and all of it is still around. Throw in a couple of other little things that just burred their way under my saddle, and I have had it up to here with crappiness. But time stops for no person, so let’s talk new comics! I reviewed two brand new #1 issues this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to New Champions #1 for a nicely crafted introductory issue that didn’t lose me at all, despite the brand new characters.
Meanwhile, I continue to lose myself in Stardew Valley, which was the entire point, so that’s going well. Creature Commandos came to an end this week and it was an awesome show. Solid start for James Gunn’s DCU. And I can’t wait for next week’s finale to Skeleton Crew! That show has been a real hoot and a half!
Comic Reviews: Aquaman #1 and New Champions #1.
Read the rest of this entryTV Trailer Thursday!
There hasn’t been much to post about this week. I live in the northeast, so I’m buried in several feet of snow that just isn’t going anywhere. Life is misery. But a pair of random trailers showed up yesterday for some streaming TV shows I’m looking forward to, so I thought I’d bundle them up and share!
First up is the third season of Reacher, the Amazon Prime show where Jack Reacher beats people up for the greater good. Nothing much to spoil in this trailer; it’s just Reacher in a bunch of new situations.
And I’ll probably definitely watch! Or at least I’ll put it on my to-watch list and hopefully get to it eventually. The first two seasons are solid. I’m honestly surprised we’re only up to season 3 with Reacher. Wild.
Anyway, Reacher returns to Prime in February.
Next up is the fourth season of Mythic Quest on AppleTV+! Some spoilers in this trailer, mostly maybe?
I took forever to get around to watching this show, because I never had a reason to get AppleTV. But I’m fully caught up at this point because this show is awesome, and AppleTV is awesome! So many great shows. I’m currently watching the second season of Shrinking and it’s just as good as the first so far. So hopefully the fourth season of Mythic Quest can live up to the other seasons!
Mythic Quest returns to Apple on Jan. 29!

Enjoy the First Episode of Deep Space Discounts!
I wrote about this before and now the first episode is here: Deep Space Discounts, an original cartoon by YouTube artist DeepBlueInk! I’m a big fan of their work and I’m fully on board with watching and sharing this show. From my understanding, animators need all the help they can get combatting the YouTube algorithm.
I liked it! The first episode mostly sets up the characters and the setting, with plenty of good satire. So the show is off to a good start and I can’t wait for the next episode! I’ll share that too. They’ll be coming out weekly all this month. And you can support DeepBlueInk on Patreon to hopefully make more.
