Here’s That Ninja Turtles Trailer I Was Waiting For
On Friday, we got a trailer for the upcoming Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I was hoping to post it on Friday, but it didn’t come out until the evening and I was already busy with other stuff by then. So here it is now!
I enjoy how well they’ve captured the look and feel of Mutant Mayhem. I don’t like that it’s only going to be like 12 episodes. Everything is of so few episodes these days. And it’s weird that the focus is on splitting up the turtles, like that’s a selling point. Just weird.
Anyway, could be a fun cartoon, and it comes to Paramount+ on Aug. 9.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/8/24
We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.
This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!
Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.
Read the rest of this entryThere’s Gonna Be a New Alien Movie, Obviously
Like sands in an hourglass, so goes Hollywood. We’re gonna have another Alien movie, because obviously. That’s what happens. Will it be as new and unique as Prey was to the Predator franchise? Probably not. But it will be named Alien: Romulus for some reason.
I hope this means the sequel will be called Alien: Remus.
I’m not big fan of the Alien franchise. I’m just not a fan of horror films in general. But this seems to be a big deal, and maybe people haven’t seen this trailer yet, so I’m sharing. I like to share movie trailers. And later today, there’s gonna be the full trailer for the upcoming Ninja Turtles cartoon based on Mutant Mayhem. I’m rather excited about that trailer!
But for now, know that Alien: Romulus will come to theaters Aug. 16.

6 Cartoon Reboots Where I Want to See the Children As Adults
Legacy sequels are all the rage these days, especially in the movies. I’m lukewarm on this sort of thing, but there was a unique idea floating through some of these sequels that got me thinking: a legacy sequel where the child characters are all grown up! Now that I’d like to see…in some occasions.
This idea found its way into my brain when I read about the new King of the Hill legacy sequel coming out one of these days. Rather than just bring back the show as-is, the new reboot is indeed going to jump ahead to the present day as if the characters aged in real time. So Bobby Hill, in all his childhood glory, is going to be an adult man in the new series. He’s going to have a job. Maybe a family? I don’t want to spoil anything that I read, but it did give me the idea for this List of Six.
So join me after the jump for six shows/movies that starred child characters, and now they’re rebooted into grown ups for continuing adventures. And all of my ideas were for cartoons, so let’s stick to that for now. And feel free to share some of your own in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entrySurprise Venom 3 Trailer!
I didn’t know we were getting a Venom 3 trailer today! How exciting! I think I’m OK with the Venom movies? They’re not good movies, but the Venom/Eddie Brock dynamic more than makes up for any other shortfalls. And that’s entertaining enough. And they’re clearly leaning into all of that in the first trailer for Venom 3: The Last Dance.
Looks generic and exciting! The only thing I really want from this movie is for Juno Temple to become Scream, my favorite symbiote. There seem to be a couple of symbiotes floating in the science lab, but we don’t get a tease that any of them take over either her or Chiwetel Ejiofor, though it could happen! He could become Lasher or Phage. Venom and Eddie could lead a whole team of human/symbiote teams to take on this new threat from his homeworld!
But, again, that’s just wishful thinking that Juno Temple plays my favorite symbiote!
Venom: The Last Dance comes to theaters on Oct. 25.
