‘John Wick’ TV series will focus on the Continental hotel and the assassin underworld
The John Wick universe is interesting as fuck. A world filled with gold coins, seemingly endless assassins, and unspoken and spoken ethos. Half of the charm of this world, to me, is that the viewer is forced to piece it together without help from the movie. So while the idea of a John Wick spin-off show about this world interests me, it also concerns me. Do we really need explanations? Or is half the allure of the Universe its mystery?

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 finale is going to be as long as a movie
I’ve been binging 1980s action flicks lately, and as I have, I’ve realized something. The perfect length for (almost) any movie is 90 minutes. 97 minutes with credits. So, shoutout to Game of Thrones for capping off their seventh season with a perfect-length film.
‘Stranger Things’ soundtrack coming to cassette to fully consummate your nostalgia wanking
The Stranger Things soundtrack is coming to cassette. Because, of course. Man. Part of me absolutely loves Stranger Things, but the other part of me absolutely fucking loathes it. As a diagnosed bipolar, I suppose this makes all the sense in the world.
‘Cowboy Bebop’ being made into American live-action TV show because we all sin
Cowboy Bebop is being made into an American live-action TV show. Man. This is, uh, this is going to test a recent stance I’ve been trying to adopt. The stance? Trying to get less emotionally involved in remakes, sequels, and reboots. Saying to myself, “if it sucks, it sucks, but it doesn’t besmirch the original source” and such. Yeah. This one is going to test how well I can maintain this mantra.

‘Preacher’ Season 2 Trailer: On the road to find God, finally
I gave up on the first season of Preacher, since, compared to the comics (at the very least) it sucked. That said, now that the crew is finally on the road, maybe I’ll enjoy it? Someone let me know. You, you there. Let me know.
Janelle Monáe is joining Philip K. Dick’s ‘Electric Dreams’ anthology series
Man. I don’t want to let myself get excited about the PKD anthology series, Electric Dreams. But, the motherfucker is quietly assembling a bevy of talented folk to contribute to it.
Frank Miller’s ‘Sin City’ is being rebooted as a TV series
Do, do people care about Sin City anymore? I sure don’t. I’m sure others do. But, hey, maybe a TV series can reinvigorate my expired-ass interest in the franchise.
‘Ozark’ Trailer: Jason Bateman goes Walter White or something in new Netflix series
Man, where did this project come from? Here’s the trailer for a new Netflix series, Ozark. Jason Bateman doing his Walter White impression, or something, I know that’s an easy and reductive comparison, but yeah, I think I’m stoked.

Netflix has dropped a gorgeous promo poster for its upcoming Castlevania series (this is how it’s done, Marvel). Not only is it gorgeous, though, but the motherfucker pays some serious homage.
