Our First Look at the New Witcher
You know what, I’m probably going to watch the new season of The Witcher on Netflix when it comes out. I don’t really care that Henry Cavill left for creative differences. I don’t really care that the story is all over the place and I can’t remember what happened in the previous season. I don’t care that it differs from the video games. There’s still potential in the show.
The new Hemsworth lead looks the part. And there’s action and a wraith in that trailer. And I dunno…they’re gonna keep making it, I suppose I’ll keep watching.
But considering how popular that first season was, somebody really dropped the ball on The Witcher. This could have been a real hit! This coulda been a contender! And now it’s going to go out with the whimper of all whimpers.
The Witcher returns to Netflix for season 4 on Oct. 30.

Can’t Wait for Wake Up Dead Man!
We got a new trailer yesterday for Wake Up Dead Man, the third Benoit Blanc mystery (or Knives Out mystery, if you will). Can’t wait! These movies are incredible and I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig just keep making them forever.
I was able to see Glass Onion in one of my local theaters back when that first came out, and hopefully I’ll be able to do the same with Wake Up Dead Man. Netflix is fine, but the big screen is the big screen!
The movie looks spooky, which is a nice take. Might as well switch up the settings and styles and tones between movies. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle…but what do I know? I’m not the fashion maven that is Benoit Blanc. I’m sure it will be fine!
Wake Up Dead Man comes to selected theaters on Nov. 26 and then to Netflix on Dec. 12!

Keep an Eye Out for Long Story Short
I think it’s safe to say that BoJack Horseman is my favorite television show of all time. That was such greatness! And now the creator, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, has a new show coming to Netflix called Long Story Short. I’m going to be watching, and you should too.
Looks to be a story of three siblings and their family told across all their lives. Neat concept. Should be fun. Should be hilarious and touching and emotionally devastating, hopefully! Put this one on your calendar!
Long Story Short is coming to Netflix on Aug. 22.

I’m Still Into Stranger Things
It’s been a whole week since I last posted, and for that I’m sorry. That might be the longest I’ve ever gone without posting something on this silly little blog of mine. But let me tell you, it’s been a busy damn week. And with no obvious easy posts, until this trailer. I just couldn’t find the time to write my Superman review. It’s still coming. Maybe next week.
Anyway, we got a new Stranger Things trailer yesterday, so that’s something!
I’m still into Stranger Things. I’ve simply come to accept that TV shows take years between seasons. It sucks, but that’s life. And I’ve enjoyed every season of Stranger Things. I’ve got no doubt they’ll nail the landing and we’ll all have a lot of fun.
The new season starts off around Thanksgiving, then continues on Christmas and we get a big finale on New Year’s Eve and/or Day.
