Everybody’s Gonna Have to Resubscribe to Netflix for Happy Gilmore 2
It’s happening. It’s really happening. They’ve made Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s coming to Netflix this summer. Jeez louise. Who ever could have guessed the world would come to this?
First things first, I’m a big Adam Sandler apologist. The dude is great. He’s always been great. And if his idea of making movies is to get studios to give him a ton of money so that he and his friends can goof off on vacation, who am I stop him or complain? That’s a dream job for probably everybody on Earth, and he’s making it happen, and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Second, you’re darn right I’m going to watch Happy Gilmore 2. I can’t wait to watch it! I don’t know what it’s going to be like. I don’t know if it will be an obvious crap film or just mildly OK. I’m gonna watch it and I’m gonna giggle at the Easter Eggs and callbacks and then I’ll go to bed and the next day will occur. I’ll probably have to go to work that next day. Life will move on.
Happy Gilmore 2 is coming to Netflix on July 25.

Super Trailer Thursday!
For some reason, a bunch of interesting trailers have been coming out this week. And I love trailers. And they’re easy to share when I’m otherwise busy. So how about we enjoy a couple of trailers for shows and movies I have a vague interest in?
Like the live action trailer for Lilo & Stitch!
I enjoy the animated Lilo & Stitch as much as the next person. And I don’t care for the Disney live action movies as much as the next person. Heck, the live action Snow White comes out, like, next week. Does anybody care beyond the haters? Still, who doesn’t enjoy Stitch shenanigans?
Lilo & Stitch live action comes to theaters on May 23.
Next up is an animated show on Netflix that I just learned about: Devil May Cry! I never played the games, but I’ve enjoyed the animated Castlevania shows, so maybe this will also be good?
It looks pretty good. I’m all in favor of turning classic video games into cool new anime shows. I even did a List of Six suggesting some other shows! And maybe this will be a faithful adaptation and I’ll actually find out what Devil May Cry is about. Won’t that be something?
Devil May Cry, the series, comes to Netflix on April 3.
Lastly, there’s going to be a new season of Poker Face, the mystery show starring Natasha Lyonne and created by Rian Johnson.
For some reason, I didn’t care for the first season of Poker Face. It did nothing for me! Even though I enjoy Lyonne’s work and am a huge fan of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Just something about Poker Face didn’t click for me. So I don’t even know if I’ll watch this. But some of you might, so I thought I’d share.
Poker Face season 2 comes to Peacock on May 8.

We’ve Been Gifted Happy Gilmore 2
Merry Christmas, everyone! I had a great time visiting family and getting gifts and having a nice day. Now it’s over and I’ve got to go back to work and just…you know how it is. But when I got home from visiting family last night, I discovered a gift that Netflix gave to all of us.
The first teaser trailer for Happy Gilmore 2.
Man, Adam Sandler seems so bored at the end of that trailer. Do you think that’s part of his character? Or does he just not want to make this movie? Whatever the case may be, Happy Gilmore 2 has happened and I’m definitely going to watch it!
Personally, I have zero problem with Adam Sandler’s quote unquote lazy moviemaking style, with his buddies. The only money he’s “wasting” is studio money, and to hell with the studios. Maybe he’ll make an entertaining movie. Maybe he won’t. It does not matter to me. Adam Sandler is awesome and I will gladly support any studio dumping money on him to keep doing his thing.
Also, kudos for bringing back Julie Bowen as the love interest, unlike most movies with decades-later sequels. Looking at you, Top Gun.
Happy Gilmore 2 comes to Netflix in July, I think.

Toon Trailer Thursday!
Lots of trailers this week. I love a week that gives us a whole bunch of movie or TV or video game trailers, because I love watching and sharing trailers. Today we’ve got a pair of upcoming animated shows making their return!
First up is the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne, the sequel series to the truly excellent first Castlevania show on Netflix. I can safely say I don’t remember anything from the first season of Nocturne, which isn’t a good sign…
Looks like a fun, gory, action series to me! Which is exactly what the first show and the first season were all about. So yeah, I’ll definitely be tuning in to check out season 2…after finding a season 1 recap video on YouTube somewhere…
Castlevania: Nocturne returns to Netfix on Jan. 16.
Also returning next month is the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon!
Count me among the fans who didn’t think season 4 was very good. This show was an insanely funny and crazy bit of television in the first two or three seasons, but then swiftly fell off…to the point that I haven’t even watched the spin-off Kite-Man series! But I’m not about to give up on Harley Quinn completely and I will be back for season 5!
Harley Quinn returns to Max…also on Jan. 16! Neat!

How About Some Animated Movie Trailers to End the Week?
It’s finally Friday. The week is over. I don’t have any comic reviews coming this weekend and would rather just ease into Thanksgiving next week. To help accomplish that, how about some animated movie trailers that randomly arrived yesterday? Did all these trailers come out to go before Wicked this weekend? I dunno.
First up is a full trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, coming to Netflix next year!
Who doesn’t love Wallace & Gromit? It’s been about a decade since we had a new movie and I’m ready for more claymation fun! I don’t have much of a memory for the early films, but this is a sequel to the original Wrong Trousers movie. I should go back and watch to make sure I understand all the references!
New Wallace & Gromit comes to Netflix on Jan. 3.
Next up is a surprise trailer for The Bad Guys 2, a movie nobody knew was coming out until now.
I avoided the first Bad Guys for the longest time because I didn’t care, but then watched it last Christmas when I was hanging out with my family and they highly recommended a watch. Then we watched their new Christmas special and it was garbage. So hopefully an actual, theatrical sequel will be much better.
The Bad Guys 2 is coming to theaters on Aug. 1, so it’s a long ways away.
Lastly, we have another look at the next Pixar film, Elio, which looks neat.
I really enjoyed the first Elio trailer that came out a million years ago. This trailer seems more childish and silly, which we’ll see how that works out. But I like the premise, at least. Could be a lot of fun. Or it could be another Strange World. Hard to tell this far out.
Elio comes to theaters on June 13!
