Alien: Earth is Coming
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien series. I’m just not that into horror movies. But who am I to deny a franchise when it brings me a potentially interesting new TV show to watch? And for this show, they have crossed the final line and brought the Xenomorphs to Earth.
Looks good to me. But then, it doesn’t take much to impress me. I haven’t done any research on this show. I don’t know what it’s going to be about. I’m pretty sure I saw a Xenomorph in the trailer, so they’re definitely in it and the show isn’t just using the name. I wonder if Sigourney Weaver will make a cameo appearance just because it’s theoretically possible. We shall all find out one of these days!
Alien: Earth comes to FX/Hulu on Aug. 12.

TV Trailer Friday
It’s Friday. The weekend is here. So I thought I’d share a couple of really fun TV trailers that came out this week. First up is the new trailer for the sixth and final season of What We Do In The Shadows! Such a fun show, and the final season looks just as good as always.
The movie was great, the show is great; this is one for the books and it’s always nice for a show to actually get to six seasons these days. What We Do In The Shadows returns to FX on Oct. 21.
Next up is the second season of Shrinking, a very good show on AppleTV+.
Shrinking was my runner-up favorite show from last year. It’s that damn good! And I can’t wait for a second season. Now if only Apple would give us the second season of Severance…But Shrinking will do for now!
Shrinking season two returns on Oct. 16.

Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza are Making a Cartoon!
I am a fan of random adult cartoons that show up on streaming services and various channels. I’ve watched Inside Job, Chicago Party Aunt, Solar Opposites; and now I have Little Demon to look forward to from Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza!
Looks both tame and interesting. So it’ll fit right in among those other shows I mentioned, and probably a dozen others that I’ve since forgotten I watched. But FX usually makes good stuff. And if Danny DeVito wants to make an entire cartoon show just to get his daughter a starring role in something, I’m all for it! The man can do no wrong.
Little Demon arrives on FXX and Hulu on Aug. 25. So I have a month to forget it even exists.

Y: The Last Man Might Actually Be Real!
Y: The Last Man is one of the greatest comic book stories of all time. It’s a rich, detailed and evocative story about…all sorts of stuff. Look, I’m no good at themes and subtext. It’s a great story and a great comic. I still remember checking out the first tpb because of good word of mouth and then immediately going out and buying the next several.
And we finally have a real, honest-to-god trailer for the upcoming TV show!
Looks pretty cool!
The most shocking thing about this trailer is that it actually exists at all. A Y: The Last Man TV show has been in the works for years at this point. I think Shia LaBeouf was attached to star at one point. It’s one of those shows/movies/adaptations that just never came to be.
But now it’s on its way and will arrive on our screens on on FX and Hulu on Sept. 13! How exciting!
