TV Trailer Tuesday!
A good question exists of why I share which trailers I do. Why some trailers but not all trailers? The answers is that I really just share trailers of projects that interest me. I’ve loved watching trailers since the days of Coming Attractions on the E! Network when I was a kid. Here are some trailers I’ve been sitting on over the past few days and am just dropping them now for funsies!
First up is the trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks! I love this show. It’s my Star Trek. And it’s a damn shame this is the final season. We need so much more! This season looks great.
Can’t wait to watch. Love the Beckett/Jennifer stuff. Have no idea what else might happen. Anything could happen! I hope they go huge for the final season!
The last season of Lower Decks comes to Paramount+ starting Oct. 24.
Next up is the new Netflix cartoon Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. This started last Thursday, but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll get around to it one of these days.
Looks pretty straight forward to me. Lara Croft should be an easy character to adapt, so it’s weird that the movie franchise didn’t really take off. Hopefully this cartoon can reveal how it’s easy and awesome to make a show about a badass exploration hero exploring tombs and fighting bad guys and monsters.
Then we’ve got a new show called Hysteria, which looks pretty neat.
Looks like a fun premise, lots of cheeky humor and I think I’ll definitely try to find a watch somewhere along the way. Or maybe it’ll be one of those shows that comes and goes and nobody remembers it even existed. Who can tell? I’ll probably give it aw atch.
Hysteria comes to Peacock on Oct. 18, so at the end of this week.
Lastly is the first trailer for the second season of Silo on AppleTV+. DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER unless you’ve already seen season 1, because it’s full of SPOILERS.
Looks great to me! I really enjoyed the first season, and I can’t wait to see where they go with season 2. This trailer gives us some pretty fun hints and I can’t wait to see them play out!
Silo season 2 comes to AppleTV+ on Nov. 15.

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.

Honestly, I Was Mostly OK With Both of These Movies
In a bit of fun comedic commentary, Honest Trailers has combined Tomb Raider and Pacific Rim: Uprising. I saw both of these movies in the theater and, must like this trailer says, they’re both pretty fine.
But it’s a hot Tuesday, soon to be a holiday, so let’s just enjoy and have a nice day!

There’s Gonna Be Another Tomb Raider Game
If you’re like me, you never played any of the classic Tomb Raider games that made the series popular in the first place. If you’re also like me, the first ever Tomb Raider game that you actually played was the 2013 reboot, which you enjoyed enough to buy and play the 2015 sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
And this means you’ll be excited to hear about the threequel, Shadow of the Tomb Raider!
Yeah, I’m excited to have another game in this series to play. It’s a fun action game with solid gameplay, cool cinematic moments, and an OK storyline. Bring on another one! I’ll gladly play.
Also, while we’re on the subject, I mostly enjoyed the forgettable Tomb Raider movie earlier this year. It’s based on this series of games, and they do an OK job with it, but made a lot of boring story and character choices. Could have been better. We probably won’t get a sequel.
But hooray for a new game in a couple months! Did I tell you readers that I’ve decided to splurge on a Playstation 4, to get me back into the console game after 2+ years?

Just So Many Trailers
Over the weekend, the universe dropped just so many trailers, you guys. I’ve loved watching movie trailers since the E! Network had a show called Coming Attractions back when I was a kid! It was literally a half-hour TV show that played movie trailers and I was a big fan. So I love sharing movie trailers on this ol’ blog o’mine!
First up, Tomb Raider.
Fun fact: I’ve never seen the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies. Or if I have, I have forgotten everything about them. And I never played the original Tomb Raider games either. The only Tomb Raider I’ve actually experienced have been the last two rebooted games, which are really fun. And the new movie is based on those games, so I have highish hopes.
Next up, Ash vs. Evil Dead, season 3!
Love this show. Can’t wait for the new season!
Third up is Super Troopers 2!
Loved the first movie, so I’m excited for the new one. But honestly, this trailer is kind of lame. Not the quality I expect. Hopefully the movie fares better.
Last is Rampage!

The Rock vs. a bunch of giant monsters with a nice quippy sense of humor? Yeah, sure, I’ll watch.
The Super Bowl is coming up, so more movie trailers are coming up! Brace yourselves!
