Cool Tomb Raider Anime On the Way
Hollywood has been trying to make Tomb Raider a thing for a long time now. I’m not the biggest Tomb Raider fan in the world. I barely ever played those original games, and only played two of three of the modern reboot. I’m not sure why I didn’t play through that last one even though I very much enjoyed the first two…
Anyway, the people who brought the truly awesome Castlevania cartoon are now making a Tomb Raider one!
I loved that Castlevania show. And while Tomb Raider is not on my List of Six of other games that could use a cool, R-rated cartoon, it’s still a solid option. Everybody loves Lara Croft and all sorts of cartoon magic could happen if you put your mind to it, things that the most recent movie reboot couldn’t get right for whatever reason.
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is coming to Netflix on Oct. 10.

Exploding Kittens Cartoon Incoming
I’ve been a longtime fan of The Oatmeal comics. The dude is funny and he makes great products. So I will probably check out his upcoming Netflix cartoon, Exploding Kittens. It could be fun!
I’m pretty sure I’ve played the Exploding Kittens card game he invented and produced, and I’m not sure if it resembles this cartoon at all. But the humor seems alright and I’m always open for new cartoons. I just finished Hazbin Hotel, which lives up to all the hype its generating. And this reminds me that I need to maybe watch Nathan Pyle’s Strange Planet cartoon. There are too many shows to watch! I can’t keep track!
Anyway, Exploding Kittens comes to Netflix in July.

A Reminder That Sweet Tooth is a Show, and It’s Good
There are so many TV shows to watch these days that I lose track and forget a few of them. And nobody talks about the smaller shows, so they come and go and I miss them. I was two months late to the second season of that new Masters of the Universe cartoon and it was awesome! I almost missed the second season of Velma!
Fortunately, I do randomly catch the occasional trailer, like this one for the third and final season of Sweet Tooth. I really enjoy this show, though I forget it exists when I’m not actively watching it.
Sweet Tooth is a great show! As I understand, it’s very different from the comic, but only because it’s sweeter and nicer than the apparently gruesome comic. This is a fun show with fun characters, and I’m definitely looking forward to season 3.
Too bad it doesn’t come to Netflix until June 6, so I’ll probably forget it exists.

Jerry Seinfeld is Making a Pop-Tarts Movie
Frankly, this looks more parody than anything else, which I can get behind. A parody of all these ‘true story’ movies, like Air or Tetris. And it’s got a good cast. But I don’t think it comes off as particularly funny. See for yourself.
Is it weird that they don’t say the name ‘Pop-Tarts’ anywhere in that trailer? I suppose the Pop-Tarts people might not even be involved. Also, who eats unfrosted Pop-Tarts?
Anyway, Unfrosted comes to Netflix on May 3. I might watch, depending on how bored I get some nights.

Watch Nimona Free on YouTube!
With the Oscars coming up soon, Netflix has decided to just put the entire movie Nimona up for free to watch on YouTube. The entire thing. Just straight up, the Nimona movie! It’s nominated for Best Animated Feature and is worthy of winning, in my opinion. As much as I loved Across the Spider-Verse, Nimona would be a great underdog winner. It’s a great film!
So watch and enjoy. I loved Nimona. And a lot of people these days are cancelling their Netflix. So if you haven’t seen Nimona yet, now is your chance! Make it happen!
