There’s a Fancy New Transformers Cartoon This Month!

Don’t get me wrong, there have been fancy new Transformers cartoons coming out every couple of years now. But this new one is going to be especially fancy, and produced by Rooster Teeth, a company I enjoy. The new cartoon is going by the insanely complicated name of Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy – Siege.

I can’t be sure, but I think this cartoon is going to be more focused on serious storytelling. So it’s not another kid-based show, which is why I think this might be worth watching. We’ll find out for sure on Netflix on July 30!

The Boys and Umbrella Academy are Getting Second Seasons!

Yesterday, as if gifting me direct content for this blog on a lazy Thursday, both The Umbrella Academy and The Boys came out with trailers for their upcoming second seasons. I enjoy both shows! And both are based on comic books! So it all fits! I’m a lucky guy.

The Umbrella Academy comes back first on July 31 on Netflix.

The Boys returns to Amazon Prime on Sept. 4.

What’s not to love? They both had great first seasons and can only get better from here!

The Old Guard is Coming

I’ve never read The Old Guard, a comic by Greg Rucka about an immortal race of ass-kickers. But the movie adaptation is coming to Netflix in a week!

As someone who loves watching movies, I’m glad at least something is coming out during this global pandemic. I have to hope this’ll be good. Or at least fun. Charlize Theron is always a hoot. So let’s give The Old Guard a try!

Here’s a Bunch of Netflix Movie Trailers

Look, I’m off from work today, slept in a little bit and am generally feeling kind of lazy. It’s super hot and humid here in the northeast and sometimes a fella’s just got to make a lazy blog post. So here’s a bunch of Netflix trailers I’ve been sitting on for a lazy day!

First up is a brand new film that I just heard about, which prompted this lazy post. It’s Over the Moon! An animated film set to release in the fall.

Next up is Old Guard starring Charlize Theron as an ancient comic book badass, along with her whole crew. It comes out on July 10. If Netflix is snatching up any comic book it can find in these pandemic times, I’ve got something they might be interested in!

Lastly is Warrior Nun, which is actually a series, not a movie. It’s based on a manga, so similar to a comic! This comes out on July 2, so not very far off at all.

All of these look pretty good. Especially what with this being the Year Without Movies!

We’re Getting More Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Soon!

With so many great cartoons coming to an end recently, the world is going to need new ones. So here comes season two of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts on Netflix on June 12!

The first season was a lot of fun. It’s a quirky little show about a girl trying to make her way across a beast and villain-filled post-apocalyptic city to rescue her people. Like, it takes place in the far future, where humanity lives in enclaves underground because wonderbeasts and sentient beast villains rule topside. When Kipo’s enclave is destroyed and she’s separated from her people, she finds some topside friends and makes her way in the world to find her dad and her people. It’s really fun.

And here’s hoping season 2 continues that fun trend!
