Let’s Take Another New Look at the Wild New Season of Doctor Who!
The next season of Doctor Who is promising to be a wild one. New Doctor! Returning showrunner! Something of a fresh start, now on Disney+, with Disney money backing all of the special effects! It’s gonna be so much fun, so let’s look at another trailer they released over the weekend.
This all looks good to me. There’s so much going on in this trailer, so much zaniness, and I think that’s for the best. This is gonna be a season of fun and adventure, which we all love! There are some dramatic bits too, and we’ll see how new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa handles the dramatic stuff.
Anyway, it looks like fun! The new season kicks off on May 10.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/30/24
Happy Easter weekend, everybody! I’ll be heading home to see the folks and am hoping for a nice weekend where I finally, at long last, defeat this sinus infection. Thankfully, had a trio of really enjoyable comics this week, including Duke and Power Rangers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ultimate Spider-Man #3 because, while all three issues were enjoyable, I found this one to be the most engaging and entertaining.
Meanwhile, I’ve started watching Shogun and am enjoying it, after all the rave reviews. And I started playing that new Saints Row game that came out in 2022. It’s…fine. I can definitely see why it crashed and burned, but it suffices as a cheap Grand Theft Auto knock-off for the time being. I really need to finally play God of War: Ragnarok.
Comic Reviews: Duke #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #118 and Ultimate Spider-Man #3.

Frankly, this looks more parody than anything else, which I can get behind. A parody of all these ‘true story’ movies, like Air or Tetris. And it’s got a good cast. But I don’t think it comes off as particularly funny. See for yourself.
Is it weird that they don’t say the name ‘Pop-Tarts’ anywhere in that trailer? I suppose the Pop-Tarts people might not even be involved. Also, who eats unfrosted Pop-Tarts?
Anyway, Unfrosted comes to Netflix on May 3. I might watch, depending on how bored I get some nights.

Marvel is Getting Into the Overwatch Business
I like new superhero video games as much as the next person. So of course I have some interest in the newly announced Marvel Rivals. Granted, I’m probably never going to play it, but there’s no harm in sharing this announcement trailer. It’s apparently Overwatch by watch of a bunch of Marvel characters.
I played Overwatch for a hot second when it first came out, just to try it out. I think it was a free demo? I dunno. The game did not hold my interest, so this Marvel Rivals thing will probably also not hold my interest. But a lot of people enjoy Overwatch, and I’m happy that they can now play a Marvel superheroes version.
There will be a closed alpha in May, so I don’t think the game is coming out anytime soon. Probably in 2025, like all other major games. That’s gonna be a big year!

6 Classic Godzilla Monsters I Want to See in the Modern Films
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes out this week and promises some brand new monster action — and a pink Godzilla, which I’m totally fine with. We’ve already seen the new orangutan monster in the trailers, and there are hints of even more beasties for the new film. And while I’m in favor of creating new monsters, there are still plenty of classic beasts we’ve yet to see in the new franchise.
I’m an old-school Godzilla fan from the silly ’80s period. And my favorite films were the ones where Godzilla teams up with other good monsters to fight the bad guys. The new movies have featured a lot of classic monsters, from Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan to a surprise appearance from Mechagodzilla. But I want more! Hopefully this new film is another hit and we can keep getting these sequels over and over again, with more and more monsters!
Join me after the jump for six classic Godzilla beasties that I want to see in the new films!
