Godzilla without Much Godzilla | Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)

The corporate zeal to turn every piece of remotely valuable I.P. into a shared cinematic universe will eventually have to hit a tipping point where the gambit simply no longer works anymore. I’m not sure that we’ve gotten there yet, but I think we’re close. The latest in the cycle comes with the premiere of… Read More Godzilla without Much Godzilla | Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

Know You Are Loved | Bodies (2023) Netflix Limited Series

Bodies (2023)

Based on a 2014 graphic novel published by DC Vertigo, Bodies has the type of intriguing high-concept premise that feels like it almost must have been written for the express purpose of being adapted into a Netflix limited series. At least, the Netflix limited series adaptation of it sure gives that impression. Some cursory research… Read More Know You Are Loved | Bodies (2023) Netflix Limited Series

Cybertron Will Die | Transformers Issue #01 (2023) Skybound Comic Book

Transformers: Issue 1 (Oct. 2023)

Earlier this year, Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment launched a new sci-fi comic book called Void Rivals that, in a surprise twist not announced in advance, turned out to be the kick-off for a shared narrative continuity with Hasbro’s Transformers and G.I. Joe brands. The first few issues of that book featured cameo appearances by select… Read More Cybertron Will Die | Transformers Issue #01 (2023) Skybound Comic Book

Madness Is the Loftiest Intelligence | The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) Netflix Limited Series

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)

October is the season for spooky delights, which makes it a fine time for Netflix to roll out the latest horror miniseries from producer/director Mike Flanagan. These things are getting to be nearly an annual tradition for the streamer. This year’s is The Fall of the House of Usher, based (extremely loosely) upon a mash-up… Read More Madness Is the Loftiest Intelligence | The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) Netflix Limited Series

Sad Truth Is Better Than a Happy Lie | The Changeling (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

The Changeling (2023)

As far as I can tell, the new Apple TV+ series The Changeling is not meant to have any direct connection to either the 1980 haunted house movie of the same title starring George C. Scott or to Clint Eastwood’s 2008 kidnapped-child drama called Changeling starring Angelina Jolie. I say “as far as I can… Read More Sad Truth Is Better Than a Happy Lie | The Changeling (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

A Milkman’s Job Is Never Done | Twisted Metal Season 1 (2023) on Peacock

Twisted Metal (2023)

The Peacock original series Twisted Metal is pretty much exactly what you should expect from a new streaming TV show based on a 1990s video game about heavily-armed cars that blow the hell out of one another. It’s big, dumb, obnoxious, and sometimes mildly amusing. Depending on your perspective, and your mood at the time… Read More A Milkman’s Job Is Never Done | Twisted Metal Season 1 (2023) on Peacock

All Right Then, From the Beginning… | Mission: Impossible (1966) Series Premiere

Mission: Impossible (1966)

Coming up soon on six decades since its inception, the Mission: Impossible franchise is, remarkably, still going strong. Of course, the property has changed quite a bit in that time, as it transitioned from a team-based espionage TV show to a Tom Cruise action blockbuster movie series. In fact, looking back on the pilot episode… Read More All Right Then, From the Beginning… | Mission: Impossible (1966) Series Premiere

Nothing But Vipers Beyond These Walls | Jack Ryan Season 4 Premiere (2023) on Amazon Prime

Jack Ryan Season 4 (2023)

After forcing fans to suffer an extended two-year wait between the show’s second and third seasons, Amazon Prime rushed a fourth (confirmed to be final) season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan into production for a streaming debut just six months since the last one ended. To balance out that gift, however, this will be the… Read More Nothing But Vipers Beyond These Walls | Jack Ryan Season 4 Premiere (2023) on Amazon Prime

Energon Mine | Void Rivals Issue #01 (2023) Skybound Comic Book

Void Rivals (2023)

Robert Kirkman, original creator of The Walking Dead, launched a brand new comic last week. Science fiction themed rather than horror, Void Rivals is, at least thus far, a rather simple and frankly derivative tale with a big cameo at the end intended to open up a broader shared universe (I know, I know, does… Read More Energon Mine | Void Rivals Issue #01 (2023) Skybound Comic Book
