Here’s a trailer for Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street, a new documentary exploring the creation of Sesame Street! I can’t wait to see this:
This new mini-trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife is… well… it’s something…!
Watching mini Stay Pufts cooking one another is certainly… memorable!
Here’s a new trailer for Netflix’s adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book series Jupiter’s Legacy:
That’s a decent trailer and it’s fun to see some memorable images from the comic brought to life. But the trailer doesn’t do a great job, in my opinion, of selling the core concept of the comic, which is what happens when the spoiled children of world-saving super-heroes turn against their parents, thinking they can do better. Is the series diverging from that set-up? Or are they trying to keep that twist as a surprise? I just wonder about this trailer which doesn’t seem so well-designed to interest people who don’t know the comic…
In other Mark Millar news, Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) has signed up to write and direct a film adapting Mr. Millar’s series Starlight, which was illustrated by Goran Parlov. Cool!

This is an interesting interview with screenwriter Chris Terrio. On the one hand, I’m not a big fan of his recent work (which includes the script for Batman v. Superman, Justice League, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker). On the other hand, I have some sympathy for him; his work certainly wasn’t well-represented by the theatrically released versions of either Batman v. Superman or Justice League. It’s interesting to read his perspective.

I think making a fifth Indiana Jones movie, at this point, is a terrible idea. That being said, casting Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the film is a great way to get me interested!
It looks like the companies behind Robotech and Macross have finally worked out their differences! I loved Robotech as a kid, and I’ve long wanted to see more of the original Japanese Macross shows and movies, which have been extremely difficult to watch legally here in the States. I hope we’ll now see that start to change.
There’s a new Kickstarter campaign to make more episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000!! I’ve backed it. Can’t wait to see what they’re cooking up.
Thanks for reading!!
