Adam Sandler Has Made a Weird Spaceman Movie
Adam Sandler makes movies, sometimes they’re fun and dumb, and sometimes they’re thinky pieces starring astronauts trapped in space and possibly hallucinating. That’s what seems to be the case with Spaceman, his new Netflix movie.
Looks…weird? I wonder why they went with a giant spider. I wonder why they went with any of it. But if Sandler is involved, it’s no doubt going to be some degree of good. So count me in!
Spaceman comes to Netflix on March 1.

Our First Look at the Second Season of Arcane!
Arcane: League of Legends came out of nowhere a few years ago and was an awesome-as-hell show! And thankfully, the wait for a second season is almost over because, I believe, it might be coming out later this year! Woohoo! And to herald that second season, here is a short teaser of a clip.
Who is that giant monster? It’s probably Vander, the father figure character from the first batch of episodes. There were apparently hints that he might still be alive in that mad scientist’s lab, and he’d make a fearsome foe in season two. Personally, I’m not a fan of bringing him back. Let the past stay in the past and let our main characters move forward on their own. But I trust the creators to make an awesome season 2.
And like that video says, it comes out in November!

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Blue Eye Samurai
There are a ton of great TV shows in the world today. The amount of content is so overwhelming that one struggles to find time to watch it all. It doesn’t help that streaming services like Netflix do jack all to actually advertise these shows. One must turn to the world wide web to get some good word of mouth. Which is how I found the very excellent Blue Eye Samurai!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
Netflix just keeps making shows, putting them on their service and then just moving on with their lives. But enough people and websites mentioned how good this show was, so I gave it a try and loved it! Not that you need new things to watch, but Blue Eye Samurai is worth your time. And Netflix has already renewed it for season two, so huzzahs all around!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of Blue Eye Samurai. Expect LIGHT SPOILERS for the show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

A couple movie trailers rolled out this week and I’m finally getting around to rounding them up and sharing them with you all. Are they interesting movies? Probably not. Will I watch any of them? Maybe at some point!
First up is the trailer for Kung Fu Panda 4! Who knew that was happening?
I’m not impressed, but at the same time, I know that the Kung Fu Panda movies deliver. They are great movies that still hold up. So will they keep that greatness going for a fourth? Or is this just a desperate attempt to cash in on the franchise name? I’m a big Awkwafina fan, so it’s fun to see her show up. But where are the Furious Five?! I guess we’ll see.
Kung Fu Panda 4 comes to theaters on March 8.
Next up is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the legacy sequel to those original Beverly Hills Cop movies.
I didn’t see the original Beverly Hills Cop movies until well into adulthood, so I have no nostalgic connection to this series. I have no memory of those movies either. The only things I remember about Beverly Hills Cop are the bits from The Clerks cartoon show, so yeah. But hey, I like modern day Eddie Murphy, and he’s had good luck teaming up with Netflix. So maybe it’ll be fun.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F comes to Netflix next summer.
Lastly, the new John Krasinski joint, If, about imaginary friends.
I didn’t like the look of this trailer, and not just because it’s a Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends rip-off. It’s that moment when the little girl tells the big, purple If not to say the word ‘ifs’ when he’s answering her question, leading to that really weird, strained moment. But ‘ifs’ is the answer to her direct question, and clearly the word he was going to say. So why would she tell him not to say the obvious answer?! Just for that unfunny strained moment?! What’s going on?
Anyway, If comes to…I think theaters…on May 17.

TV Trailer Thursday
A whole bunch of trailers for upcoming streaming shows were released this past weekend, and I’ve been waiting for a free day to share them all with you. That day has come! So prepare yourselves for my thoughts on these various upcoming shows!
First up is the trailer for the new Fallout TV show. It looks like Fallout, that’s for sure.
I love the Fallout games, so I’m definitely going to be watching this show. But I don’t really like this trailer. I feel like this is a poorly made trailer. It doesn’t do a lot to establish the world or the unique elements of the Fallout world. It has a ton of recognizable Fallout elements, for sure, but I feel like they could have been framed better in a first trailer, to hook general audiences onto this one. We fans know the concept and recognize the stuff, but what will general audiences make of this trailer?
Anyway, Fallout the show comes to Amazon Prime on April 12.
Next up is the second season of the Halo TV show, a show I actually very much enjoyed.
This one looks good. It shows off a lot of Halo stuff, but it’s a second season trailer, and we already know what’s going on. This trailer successfully teases some cool space stuff, and some cool drama and the like, along with a ton of alien and energy sword action. So I’m in. I liked the first season. Granted, I’m no Halo maniac. I don’t know the lore or demand authority to the games. So I’m in for season two!
Halo season 2 comes to Paramount+ on Feb. 8.
Next is the third season of Hilda! I love this cartoon!
I didn’t know Hilda was getting a third season! So seeing this trailer pop up was exciting news. I have no idea the Hilda release schedule. Let me go look real quick. Jeez louise! Season one and season two came out in 2018 and 2020! And there was a film in 2021! It’s been many long years and one pandemic recovery since we had new Hilda! Well hot damn, bring on the new season! This show is so much fun and so adorable! I highly recommend it for people of all ages.
Hilda returns to Netflix for season three on Dec. 7…holy cow! That’s today! How exciting!
Lastly, a trailer I also randomly stumbled across, Carol & The End of the World.
I like this trailer. I like this look and feel. A dumpy, middle-aged woman gets to be the star of a show for once. And it’s an end of the world show, so that’s neat! Martha Kelly is great. I loved her in Baskets. And this looks to be a good showcase of her talents. I’m definitely looking forward to this one and hope it holds up to its excellent trailer.
Carol & The End of the World comes to Netflix on Dec. 15, so next week. Here’s hoping!
