Buncha Godzilla Stuff Incoming
Godzilla is great. I’ve been loving Godzilla since I was a little kid, so who doesn’t love new Godzilla movies? We’ve got a Godzilla vs. Kong sequel on its way to the big screen, but this post is not about that movie. Instead, we’ve got a trailer for Godzilla: Minus One, made by Toho in Japan!
Damn, that looks cool. I need to watch those modern Toho Godzilla movies. They have given the big guy a great design and this movie looks like so much fun! I love the parts where we get up-close scenes of Godzilla’s feet walking among and upon the people. It’s funny and terrifying.
Godzilla: Minus One is coming to Japan on Dec. 1!
Meanwhile, coming to the rest of the world is a Monarch TV show. Based on the SHIELD-esque agency that monitors giant monsters, Monarch looks like it’s going to be to monster movies what The Walking Dead is to zombie movies: a show about the people living and surviving in the classic movie genre. And they seem to be putting a lot of money into using movie Godzilla to his full effect.
A TV show with movie-quality Godzilla stomping around? Heck yeah! Sounds like fun. What will the actual episodes be about? I don’t know. Will Godzilla feature in every episode? Probably not. Will we finally get Anguirus, my favorite monster? I sure hope so!
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is coming to AppleTV+ on Nov. 17.

Strange Planet is Getting a Cartoon
Remember that webcomic Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle that took off a few years ago? It’s getting a whole cartoon series! I loved that comic, still enjoy it, and this blows my mind. How are they gonna turn that into a cartoon?
All I can think about this comic nowadays is how I gave my dad the collected edition for Christmas one year and he said it was just Coneheads. I never watched much Coneheads and barely remember the movies…but is it just Coneheads?! I guess we’ll find out.
Strange Planet is coming to AppleTV+ on Aug. 9.

Second Season of After Party, Baby!
After Party on AppleTV+ was my favorite show last year. It’s a murder mystery in which every episode explores a new suspect using a different genre, like action film, musical, cartoon and much more. And now there’s gonna be a second season and they’re gonna go wild with it!
A Wes Anderson episode?! Hells yes! I love Wes Anderson. Asteroid City was really good. And I’m excited for a second season of After Party. Will hopefully be another banger.
After Party season 2 comes out on July 12, which is really soon.

Some More Random TV Show Trailers!
There’s apparently something going on today where a bunch of TV show trailers are dropping. And since I like watching TV shows, I thought I’d share!
First up is the second season of Schmigadoon. I liked the first season when I spent last summer watching AppleTV+ shows. So many of those shows were good that I have a little bit of hype for any new Apple show (more on that in a bit). So bring on a second season of Schmigadoon!
Schmicago? Yeah, sure! Sign me up! A television journey through the different eras of Broadway musicals sounds like an even better idea than just thinking the show was about some funny song and dance numbers. This show has a message! Season 2 arrives on April 5.
Next up is a brand new show coming to AppleTV+, and like I said above, I’m already thinking pretty highly of what this might entail. It’s called The Big Door Prize and seems pretty whimsical.
Destiny vs. self-actualization? Yeah, that should be fun. I like a good whimsical show, and like I said, I have faith in AppleTV+ and what they produce. So what the heck? Let’s give it a watch! The Big Door Prize premieres on March 29.
Also, I’m in the wrong business. I have a ton of ideas! Why did I never become a successful TV producer, pitching my random ideas and getting them made into shows?!

Dueling TV Show Trailers
Yesterday, in my quest to find something new to post about, I found a pair of brand new trailers for some upcoming streaming TV shows that seem remarkably similar. They’re both spy shows that are also romances between a man and a woman, and both star some famous Hollywood folks. Neat!
First up is the better of the two, in my opinion. This is Ghosted, starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, which is coming to AppleTV+ on April 21.
I really like this one! It’s funny, it’s charming, it’s got a nifty premise; seems really fun. And obviously Evans and de Armas are really entertaining people. I think I might actually watch this one.
Next up is Citadel, which seems far more generic. It’s produced by the Russo Brothers, so that’s nice. And it stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. This one lacks the charm of Ghosted.
Honestly, I can’t even remember what this one is about…zing! Yeah, something about memory loss and true love? Doesn’t looka s appealing, but perhaps it will still be fun. Citadel is coming to Amazon Prime on April 28.
