Fallout Trailer Friday
We got a new trailer yesterday for the upcoming Fallout TV show, and I like this trailer a lot better than the first one. This trailer really shows off the world and plot of Fallout, from the Vault Dweller stuff to the Brotherhood of Steel to so much more. This is a great-looking trailer for a great-looking show!
I love the look of this. All of the iconography is perfect. The mood is perfect. Walter Goggins is going to really bring it! I really like the transition of the Vault Dweller from beginning to end. Everything looks solid!
And awesome news: every single episode of Fallout will be available on the same day, when it launches on Amazon Prime on April 11!

My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures of 2024
Happy New Year, everybody! Happy 2024! This year is going to be a good year for me. I’m losing weight. I’ve got some self-published comic book stuff coming up. My New Year’s Resolution is to finally master this banana bread recipe I’ve been dying to make, but kept putting off. And we’ve got…an acceptable amount of cool movies, TV shows and games coming up. Let’s talk about them.
Looking ahead, there isn’t much to be excited about in pop culture, to be honest. Not like last year, when we had a ton of great video games on the horizon, and a lot of movie potential. This year doesn’t have a whole lot. But I took a look around and have made a list anyway! There are some things I’m excited about and looking forward to, with my hopes up. So why not share?
Join me after the jump for six bits of pop culture I’m looking forward to in the new year. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams for the year ahead in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryTV Trailer Thursday
A whole bunch of trailers for upcoming streaming shows were released this past weekend, and I’ve been waiting for a free day to share them all with you. That day has come! So prepare yourselves for my thoughts on these various upcoming shows!
First up is the trailer for the new Fallout TV show. It looks like Fallout, that’s for sure.
I love the Fallout games, so I’m definitely going to be watching this show. But I don’t really like this trailer. I feel like this is a poorly made trailer. It doesn’t do a lot to establish the world or the unique elements of the Fallout world. It has a ton of recognizable Fallout elements, for sure, but I feel like they could have been framed better in a first trailer, to hook general audiences onto this one. We fans know the concept and recognize the stuff, but what will general audiences make of this trailer?
Anyway, Fallout the show comes to Amazon Prime on April 12.
Next up is the second season of the Halo TV show, a show I actually very much enjoyed.
This one looks good. It shows off a lot of Halo stuff, but it’s a second season trailer, and we already know what’s going on. This trailer successfully teases some cool space stuff, and some cool drama and the like, along with a ton of alien and energy sword action. So I’m in. I liked the first season. Granted, I’m no Halo maniac. I don’t know the lore or demand authority to the games. So I’m in for season two!
Halo season 2 comes to Paramount+ on Feb. 8.
Next is the third season of Hilda! I love this cartoon!
I didn’t know Hilda was getting a third season! So seeing this trailer pop up was exciting news. I have no idea the Hilda release schedule. Let me go look real quick. Jeez louise! Season one and season two came out in 2018 and 2020! And there was a film in 2021! It’s been many long years and one pandemic recovery since we had new Hilda! Well hot damn, bring on the new season! This show is so much fun and so adorable! I highly recommend it for people of all ages.
Hilda returns to Netflix for season three on Dec. 7…holy cow! That’s today! How exciting!
Lastly, a trailer I also randomly stumbled across, Carol & The End of the World.
I like this trailer. I like this look and feel. A dumpy, middle-aged woman gets to be the star of a show for once. And it’s an end of the world show, so that’s neat! Martha Kelly is great. I loved her in Baskets. And this looks to be a good showcase of her talents. I’m definitely looking forward to this one and hope it holds up to its excellent trailer.
Carol & The End of the World comes to Netflix on Dec. 15, so next week. Here’s hoping!

Sweet Live Action Fallout Fan-Trailer
The world is a crazy place, but it’s still not as bad as the world of Fallout. To see for sure, check out this sweet fan-made live action trailer about the Fallout universe. Made by the fine folks at Infectious Designer.
Looks fancy! That’s some quality work. And it came out ahead of the upcoming actual live action Fallout TV show. Is that show going to be anything good? We’ll see! I have faith in all sorts of things, and a Fallout TV show should be pretty easy to enjoy. I’m the sort of sucker who enjoyed the live action Halo TV show. So perhaps there’s no hope for me.

Even More Video Game Trailers!
A bunch more video game trailers came out of E3 this weekend, and I’m the sort of guy to share them all on a lazy Tuesday!
Like, how about Fallout 76?

Looks like fun! I’m always down for a new Fallout game. Word has it this is going to be some kind of multiplayer survival game. Not sure how that will change things with the normally single player series, but we’ll see. I’ll probably be down either way.
Then we got a trailer for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, which will take place in Ancient Greece.
I love me some Ancient Greece…but really only the mythology. And I doubt the new assassin is going to fight the chimera or ride Pegasus. He’s probably just going to fight Templars, like normal.
Still, I very much enjoyed Assassin’s Creed: Origins, so I’ll probably give this one a shot as well.
There was also another trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2!
Since I did go ahead and buy that Playstation 4, this game is on my radar again. I still don’t think it has anything to do with the original Beyond Good and Evil, but whatever. They can make any game they want and tangentially connect it to any previous game they want as far as I can. Just make it good!
Man, there were so many trailers I don’t have the time or energy to share them all. These are just the games I’m most interested in that I saw. There’s also a Resident Evil 2 remake, some new footage from that upcoming Spider-Man game, and there was even footage of The Last of Us 2 — though I didn’t watch that, because I have yet to play the first The Last of Us. It’s sitting on my desk right now, right next to my new Playstation 4. I’m building myself up for it.
