Putting the Glad in Gladiator II
So, uh, there’s going to be a Gladiator 2. Granted, that first movie does not hold a monopoly on any and all gladiator movies for all time. It’s just a little weird that we’ve reached this point in our legacy sequels. But who am I kidding? Hollywood loves reusing a recognizable brand name. We’ve got a Beetlejuice sequel coming out in the fall, after all.
This trailer feels a little silly to still be in a Maximus universe. It fees like it’s trying too hard. But the trailer was also full of all sorts of action and characters and stuff you’d expect to see. Weird Roman rulers amped up to 11. This movie is probably going to be exactly what we all assume it will be.
Gladiator II comes to theaters on Nov. 22.

Agatha All Along is Actually Happening
Once upon a time, Marvel Studios felt unbeatable, and they greenlit a Wandavision spin-off about Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are amazing, but can they make a good show out of this character? The first trailer sure looks witchy and spooky enough.
I think it looks alright. And I’ll definitely be watching. I still have all sorts of faith in Marvel and will gladly watch what they put out. So bring on Agatha Harkness! Give her all sorts of spooky fun adventures. Make it a good show! We’ll find out later this year.
Agatha All Along comes to Disney+ on Sept. 18.

They Made a New ASDF Movie
ASDF is this weird, funny, random internet silliness bit. They’ve been putting out content for a decade now…longer? I dunno. It’s Friday morning, I’m still in the middle of a busy work for week, and I just wanna post something silly and fun. I like this. I hope you do too.
They’re also selling a game or a hat or something. Who can tell. I just want a nice, relaxing Friday before diving back into the belly of the work beast tomorrow morning.
Oh, also, I just found this bit of deleted scenes! So it’s bonus ASDF content!
Good times, everybody!

Just a Metric Ton of Rando Movie Trailers
I’m tired, boss. It’s been a week, let me tell you, and it’s only going to get worse over the next few days. So no List of Six this week. Maybe comic reviews. We’ll see. And for this middle of the week, I’m just gonna drop a bunch of random movie trailers that came out in the past few days. I don’t know what’s happening, but these are really, really random movies.
Let’s start with the most random (and that’s saying something!) Bando Stone and The New World with Donald Glover! This one is pretty wild and awesome.
It’s so nifty looking! Donald Glover at his weird and wild best, in a truly interesting premise. The effects also look pretty damn insane. Very creative, very inventive, and that could really make the movie.
Bando Stone and The New World…apparently currently has no release date. Huh. Oh well.
Next up is Red One, wherein the Rock and Chris Evans do a Taken with Santa Claus.
Honestly, this one looks fun. It’s probably gonna be ridiculous, but the same could have been said about Violent Night, and I loved that movie! That was Die Hard and Santa Claus. So I’m definitely willing to give this one a chance.
Red One comes to theaters on November 15! Theatres? Not Netflix? Interesting.
Third up is the trailer for Jackpot, in which John Cena and Awkwafina (that rhymed!) do a silly, R-rated action comedy. I love both of them, so I’m down!
And Simu Liu! Wonderful! I’m so glad to see him still getting work. I want that dude’s career to explode! And I want to see Shang Chi 2 sooner rather than later. But for now, I’ll settle for Jackpot, which comes to Amazon Prime Aug. 15.
Next is another trailer for the movie Trap, which is an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
And starring everybody’s forgotten Hollywood dreamboat, Josh Hartnett. Guess he’s back for good. Looks spooky. And the trailer doesn’t give the twist away, if you’re worried about that. Just looks like a solidly spooky horror film. Good times.
Trap comes to theaters on Aug. 2.
Lastly, we have Hellboy: The Crooked Man, what appears to be a fanmade Hellboy movie given realish studio power. If you can call Ketchup Entertainment a real studio.
I don’t even know about this. I guess Mike Mignola himself, along with author Christopher Golden, wrote this movie, so that’s something. But otherwise, this looks almost pathetic. But it also looks…maybe interesting? Seems to be a really spooky movie that just happens to throw Hellboy in as our protagonist. That could be fun! And if made cheaply, maybe we get a bunch of low key Hellboy movies?
I guess we’ll see when Hellboy: The Crooked man comes to theaters(?) sometime this year.
And that’s it! Those are all the movies! Or at least all of the trailers I saved and wanted to share. Probably a bunch more rando movie trailers in the world at the moment. But these will have to do for now!

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! Is Gonna Be a Fun Show!
I’ll admit that I was rather disappointed in the latest and fourth season of Harley Quinn. It had lost some of the snap of the first couple of seasons. And that’s probably because the showrunners in the beginning spun off to make Kite Man: Hell Yeah! so I am now very excited to see what they’ve produced!
The trailer looks like a hoot! Funny, wacky, and with some solid, enjoyable characters. We already know that Kite Man is awesome. Now we’ve got Golden Glider to add to the fun. And Bane is back, so that’s awesome. I expect great things from this show! And I hope the fifth season of Harley Quinn is also good!
Kite Man: Hell Yeah! comes to Max on July 18!
