They’re Making a Saturday Night Live Movie
But not the way they’ve done it in the past. Instead, Hollywood is making a movie about SNL itself, specifically the very early days and the first night of broadcast. They’ve cast all of the original cast members with young people, and the trailer makes this movie — Saturday Night — look pretty darn good.
Will it be weird that most of the original cast are still alive? And will get to watch this movie, if they so choose? I think it will be. But that’s never stopped a good biopic before. It’s time we all got to know the seedy underbelly of the original Saturday Night Live!
Saturday Night comes to theaters on Oct. 11.

6 Thoughts on Batman: Caped Crusader (Review)
Another Batman animated series has arrived and I actually watched this one. I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s, but now that I think about it, I never really watched The Batman, Brave and the Bold and Beware the Batman. Huh. Anyway, I decided to give caped Crusader a try and I was pleasantly satisfied.
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I am not someone who rallies against constant reboots. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get rebooted every five years or so and still tell pretty much the exact same story, and I’m fine with it. Spider-Man has had no reboots in the past, like, five years than ten people. I just don’t mind if this is what studios want to spend their time and money on. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I won’t. I decided to watch Batman: Caped Crusader and enjoyed myself for the most part. Though I fear that releasing all episodes at once is going to disappear this from the public mind quite quickly.
Either way, join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of Batman: Caped Crusader. Expect FULL SPOILERS for all 10 episodes. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!

It’s a Tuesday. I’ve got some cartoon trailers, some leftover from Comic-Con, so I feel like sharing. First up is the trailer for the next season of Solar Opposites, which is still good.
The new voice is normal now, and Solar Opposites remains a fun, weird show. And to double up on them, how about a trailer specifically for the next chapter of The Wall saga?!
Yeah, that’s a good way to spend a Tuesday. Solar Opposites returns to Hulu on Aug. 12! So next week! Neat.
Then we’ve got the Comic-Con trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. How sad that this show is coming to and end. This is MY Star Trek show! These are MY Star Trek characters! I will follow them wherever they go! Hopefully a sequel series, or a live action something…
Star Trek: Lower Decks returns to Paramount+ on Oct. 24, so very far in the future.

Live Action Animated Wolverine!
Tell It Animated is back with Wolverine! Deadpool & Wolverine is still making box office money, so this still fits! And it’s a fun little video, tracing all the live action Wolverine costumes through the movies. Shame he couldn’t include the animated Wolverines as well.
Wolverine’s black leather outfits weren’t so bad. I like the gold lining they had, and the stripes here and there. And the new yellow outfit totally works. Has anyone photoshopped what the new movie outfit would look like if he kept the shoulder pads while going sleeveless? I’m sure they thought about it while making the movie and it looked dumb, but I’d still enjoy.
Anyway, as always, should he ever read these posts, my suggestion for a new one is Robin! Not that there’s any Robin content coming out anytime soon…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/3/24
Another week, another pile of comics, and life moves on nicely. This was one of those weird Fifth Wednesdays, so not as many comics, but we do have some important ones like the end of Power Rangers and the start of X-Force.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ultimate Spider-Man #7 because I liked it the best out of the comics I read this week.
Meanwhile, the Kickstarter is up and running for the second issue of the Cloakroom, the short story anthology for students in Scott Snyder’s Comic Writing 101 class. Snyder has a ton of stuff going on these days, and I haven’t even really dug into much of it yet, but I’m happy to support my classmates! I was featured in the first issue, and hope to see many more issues to come! So go support up-and-coming comic writers!
Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1, Ultimate Spider-Man #7 and X-Force #1.
