Season 2 of Squid Game Might be Good!
Like everybody else, I loved the first season of Squid Game! I cried! I got annoyed at the ending! I didn’t think there needed to be more! But a second season is coming whether we like it or not, and with this first trailer, it actually looks really good.
I’m in. Seong Gi-hun has ditched the bright red hair and looks like a man on a mission. And I really like how he’s portrayed in this trailer, as someone attempting to step up and just lead the others from the very beginning. Could be pretty awesome. And the show is coming sooner than anticipated, with more Squid Game before the end of the year!
Jeez, the first season came out three years ago!
Squid Game returns to Netflix on Dec. 26.

Did You See This Sweet Marvel Disney+ Trailer?
To coincide with the Agatha All Along finale, Marvel put out this sizzle reel of upcoming Disney+ releases. This teaser trailer delivers our first official looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, especially, Wonder Man! Everything looks so good!
I remain a staunch fan of Marvel Studios content. Agatha All Along was very good and I really enjoyed the finale. And I can’t wait for these shows! I know people aren’t too excited for Ironheart, but I think it looks good! I prefer my Iron People to be nuts and bolts, not nanomachines. And Wonder Man could be a real sleeper hit. Daredevil: Born Again will hopefully live up to all the hype. And the various cartoons should be a hoot!
Granted, this means 2025 is going to be full of Marvel content, with three movies and now half a dozen shows. But I think Marvel just needs to burn off all these completed projects before they slow their releases. And I’m all for it!

6 Thoughts on Venom: The Last Dance (Review)
Man, I really hated Venom: The Last Dance. Everything about this movie bugged the heck out of me. And I’m not some hater. I actually mostly enjoyed the first two films, and even gave them positive reviews on this same blog. So I went into Venom 3 with relatively OK expectations. Those very same expectations were very quickly dashed.
Movie Rating: 2/10 – Very Bad
Something went wrong with this movie. Was it edited to within an inch of its life? Did nobody care? Did SONY throw in the towel immediately after Morbius and Madame Webb and just not bother with Venom 3, despite the box office success of the earlier films? Why was the editing so sloppy? Why was the script so terrible? Did anyone actually care about making this franchise work? Ugh.
Anyway, join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of Venom: The Last Dance. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole film because I’m just going to ramble on about it however I feel like.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/26/24
What an interesting week for comics! We have a ton of first issues this week, whether brand new series or just the start of a big new run by a new creative team. Stuff like Tom Taylor on Detective Comics or a new Iron Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #1 for another awesome alternate reality reboot. I hope Superman is just as good when it comes out!
Meanwhile, I saw Venom: The Last Dance this week and hated it! What a garbage movie! I was able to find something to enjoy in the first two, so I haven’t been a total Venom movie hater. But man, this third one was a real stinker on every conceivable level. I’ll post my full thoughts/review sometime next week. Other than that, Star Trek: Lower Decks is back on the air, so awesome. And I’ve started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again. Good times.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #1, Dazzler #2, Detective Comics #1090, Iron Man #1 and Superman #19.
Read the rest of this entryOur First Look at More Severance
The TV show Severance on AppleTV+ is pretty damn amazing. It’s so tense, well-written and just plain awesome. And it’s been a few years, but we’re finally going to get a much-anticipated second season! And we’ve finally got our first trailer for that second season! But DO NOT watch this trailer unless you’ve seen the entire first season, because there are some BIG SPOILERS in this trailer that you won’t want ruined.
This looks great! I don’t want to say too much because, again, I don’t want to give away any of the twists or turns or surprises of the first season. Only can say that season 2 looks full of new twists, turns and surprises! Seriously, Severance is a great show if you want quality intrigue, mystery, dark humor and strong acting.
Severance season 2 comes to AppleTV+ on Jan. 17.
