TV Trailer Tuesday
Yesterday was all about sharing movie trailers. Today is all about sharing TV show trailers. Makes sense, right? Movies on Monday, TV shows on Tuesday. Keep up. Anyway, a couple really good TV show trailers came out in the past week, and I wanna share. It’s what I do.
First up is Masters of the Universe: Revolution. I really, really enjoyed Revelation and can’t wait for more in this series.
We don’t see too much in that trailer, but we’ve got more Skeletor, Motherboard and now Hordak. Will we get She-Ra? If only. I can hope. And I can also hope that my favorite character, Snout Spout, shows up. He’s the one I had an action figure of, and I want him in the show!
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is coming to Netflix in January.
Next up is the full trailer for Reacher season 2.
I really enjoyed the first season of Reacher. It was a solid, enjoyable action show, and Alan Ritchson is a cool guy. So by all means, enjoy more of your hit show! Make it just as good as season 1. Do it right.
Reacher season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 15.
Finally, our first look at Dead Boy Detectives, the spin-off from Doom Patrol and Sandman.
I never read the comics, but any season created by Neil Gaiman is going to be a hoot! And I’m going to be fully on board. Looks like a fun, spooky show and I’m sure it will be.
Dead Boy Detectives is coming to Netflix soon.

Movie Trailer Monday
A bunch of movie trailers, mostly for streaming services, have come out lately and seem to just be piling up on my bookmarks bar. I want to share them on the blog, because I really enjoy movie trailers myself. But rather than stretch the out for too long, let’s just dump them all on this glorious Monday!
First up is Rebel Moon: Part One: A Child of Fire, the big space epic from Zack Snyder.
Looks pretty good to me. It looks big, it looks epic, it looks small at the same time. It looks like a bunch of classic space opera tropes glued together. It looks like his kind of movie. I’m no Snyderhead, so I’m not about to bend over backwards in praise of this film. But I’ll probably gladly watch it when it comes to Netflix on Dec. 22.
Next up is Damsel, another movie coming to Netflix starring Millie Bobby Brown.
Not much to see yet with this movie. I think it’s taking the princess and dragon cliche and turning it into its own movie somehow. I suppose I could look up a plot synopsis and see for sure…but nah. I like Brown, I like the Enola Holmes movies, and I hope she does indeed find a good career after Stranger Things. Damsel is coming to Netflix next year.
Switching gears to Peacock, we have Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain.
I love the Please Don’t Destroy sketches on Saturday Night Live as much as the next person. They’re funny stuff. Granted, my love for these comedians took a big hit when I found out that two of them were nepo babies of longtime SNL alumni…but whatever. They’re still funny, and seeing them make a feature length streaming movie should be fun. Please Don’t Destroy comes to Peacock on Nov. 17…so this Friday!
Lastly, an actual movie in theaters, it’s The Fall Guy!
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt make a fun action comedy where a stuntman becomes a real action hero. Sounds fun, looks fun, and we’ll probably take any movie we can get next year after those strikes. Lot of hope going into this one.
The Fall Guy comes to theaters on March 1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/11/23
I’m in a very easy going mood this week when it comes to comics. Had a lot of really enjoyable readsthis week. Nothing really blew my mind, but they were fun reads nonetheless, like new issues of Batman and G.O.D.S.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Transformers #2 because it was a solid issue, though I think all of the comics I read this week were equally good reads. It was a bit of a coin flip this week.
Meanwhile, I beat Spider-Man 2 and very much enjoyed the game. The only real detraction I have is that it felt short and light. I probably could have beat it much faster than I did. I think these games should come out more frequently, just by reusing the map and character elements already created. Beyond that, I saw The Marvels opening night and very much enjoyed the film. To hell with the haters! Come back on Wednesday for my thoughts and full review on The Marvels.
Comic Reviews: Batman #139, Birds of Prey #3, G.O.D.S. #2 and Transformers #2.
Read the rest of this entryLive Action Last Airbender Looks Fantastic!
I was as skeptical as anyone else when Netflix announced they were making a live action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It was tried once before to ill effect. And it’s going to be a massive undertaking. But hot damn, this first trailer looks great.
Everything looks so darn good! It looks big, it looks dramatic, all the characters look great. Will the show get into the really silly, cartoony stuff? I suppose we’ll find out. Maybe it’ll be just the dramatic stuff. Maybe it’ll just be a few episodes from the first first of the cartoon? I have no idea, I just know that things are looking really cool.
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to Netflix on Feb. 22.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is On It’s Way
We knew we were getting another Ghostbusters movie, but I had no idea it was this far along. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire came out with a full-on trailer yesterday, showing off all the returning characters and the new, chilly threat. Looks neat.
I enjoyed Ghostbusters: Afterlife as much as the next person, though probably not as much as other people. It was solid. Turning this into a full on franchise is something that can’t be avoided at this point, so I’m not going to fight it. I like Paul Rudd, I like Carrie Coon, Mckenna Grace was a really fun new character in the last film, and it looks like Patton Oswalt and Kumail Nanjiani are joining the fun. So yeah, I’m all in to see how this next sequel pans out.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire comes to theaters on March 29.
