Here’s Another Trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
There’s a second season coming up for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters soon. And to advertise such a thing, the TV producers have released another trailer. It shows monsters, actors, stories and the stakes. Seems like something a trailer should and normally do.
I dunno how I feel about this one. I think I liked the first season. I think I also felt that the first season went a little off the rails in places. And I think I felt it successfully landed the ending. I dunno. It doesn’t matter. I’ll watch this show because it’s Godzilla. There’s going to be a big new monster, and Godzilla and Kong will need to team up…so…like all the most recent movies?
I like the idea that this season will be about one really big, really bad monster and that could drive the season. The first season was about a bunch of different monsters as the main characters moved around the world, with no real monster focal point. So this could be a good way to do a second season.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 is coming to Apple TV on Feb. 27.
TV Trailers for a Monday!
I was really busy with work last week and didn’t post much of anything. My bad. This week might see a ton of new snowfall, so that will suck as well. But rather than ignore this blog and take the easy way out, I’m gonna share some TV show trailers that came up recently! I love that sort of thing.
First up is The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. That sounds like a great pairing.
And it sounds like it could be a fun show. I like fun shows. I like Morgan and Radcliffe. I’ll probably definitely check this one out. Says it’s from the team that created 30 Rock, so that’s a very good sign.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins comes to…actual broadcast NBC, neat…on Feb. 23, so there was a sneak peak from just last night.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of Ted. That should be a hoot!
I liked the movies, I liked the first season; this should be a no-brainer watch. It’s just plain funny. With plenty of heart. Hopefully this gets as many seasons as Family Guy! And then we get a Ted 3, featuring these characters.
Ted returns to Peacock on March 5.
How about a second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters? I liked the first season well enough, though I think it went further and weirder than I was expecting or hoping.
Second season seems to be more of the same. Monsters. Weird Hollow Earth nonsense. Maybe some good character stuff? I dunno. It’s just fun that we’ve got a Godzilla TV show.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns to AppleTV on Feb. 27.
Lastly, there’s going to be a third season of Shrinking, which is one of the best shows on TV nowadays. I can’t praise Shrinking enough. It’s from the same people who made Scrubs (not looking forward to that revival) and the first season of Ted Lasso.
Can’t wait! Shrinking is that damn good. Watch the first two seasons if you can. It’s so heartfelt, so emotional, and also damn funny. Sitcoms don’t get much better than Shrinking.
Season 3 comes to Apple TV on Jan. 28! So it’s coming soon! How exciting.

Another Look At That Godzilla-Adjacent TV Show
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters comes to AppleTV+ in one month, and we’ll all get to see how much Godzilla is actually in the show. Is he only going to appear in the first episode? Is he going to be a co-star? A cameo? What’s the Rodan quota? Anyway, the show looks good and I’ll definitely watch, and here’s another trailer to start your Monday.
Like I said, the show looks great. The CGI looks top notch, possibly because they already had access to the Godzilla computer models from the movies. That’s a great way to think. So we’ll see how it goes. Will it live up to any previous Godzilla TV adaptation? Like that cartoon from the 1990s that featured the U.S. version of Godzilla? Perhaps it will be even better than that.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters comes to streaming on Nov. 17.

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.
