Rising Of The Shield Hero Season 2 Rises Today On Crunchyroll
Contrary to popular belief, “turtle” and “tortoise” are not synonyms. A tortoise differs from a turtle in several ways: one, their shells are rounder and less flat than a turtle’s is, two, they live longer than turtles (longer, in fact, than most other life forms on Earth)…and three, they’re a lot bigger than turtles. But perhaps not as big as the tortoise at the center of Crunchyroll’s latest simuldub anime, Rising Of The Shield Hero. The Spirit Tortoise, one of the most dreaded monsters in the world, has awakened once again. His first order of business is to trample an entire community and he won’t stop there…unless someone stops him. That job belongs to Naofumi, hero of Season One, and his friends. But wait’ll he finds out this monster wasn’t meant to wake up at this point in time. Someone made him rise on purpose…someone who may be a bigger threat! Since Rising Of The Shield Hero is a simuldub, both Japanese and English voice tracks will be available on
Watch Disney’s Full Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer
Disney had to have something planned for May the 4th, right? We were expecting the reveal of an entirely new Star Wars thing, but instead we got another trailer for a show we know is coming and will be here by the end of the month. The show is called Obi-Wan Kenobi, and you can guess what it’s about. It’s the midpoint between 2005 and 1977. Palpatine and Vader rule the galaxy. Being a Jedi is a death sentence, and nobody dares perform lightsaber tricks in public — unless they’re a Sith, who also get lightsabers (pretty red ones!) Ben Kenobi, the focus of our story, hides out on Tattooine while the Empire searches constellation after constellation for him. It’s a futile effort because canonically, Vader can never figure out he’s on Tattooine — but evidently Ben steps off his hiding planet at some point because this trailer highly suggests he and his former apprentice have a little meeting. Ewan McGregor returns as Obi-Wan, reprising the role he played in
Blade Runner RPG Clears Kickstarter Goal In Three Minutes
Free League’s latest crowdfunding campaign is one of their most successful yet — the Blade Runner RPG was put up for funding just this morning, with a humble goal of $10,000. It knocked that down in the time it takes to microwave a Hot Pocket and it’s still climbing, as of this writing somewhere past $700,000. It’s an easy bet it will generate a million before its first day is through. In Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game, each player will assume the role of a detective searching the rainy streets of cyberpunk LA, on the hunt for Replicants. Note that the Blade Runners can be either human or Replicant themselves. The game is set between the first and second movies, so around 2037 — shortly after the Wallace Corporation lets their new Nexus-9 models on the streets, much harder to tell the difference. All gameplay will stem from the Core Rulebook, written by Joe LeFavi, CEO of Genuine Entertainment. Martin Grip is creating the art for this one; you may
Daniel Radcliffe Is About To Get WEIRD
The thing about the trailer for the new movie WEIRD is that half of it goes under the assumption you don’t know what’s coming — which would only be true in a theater (WEIRD is not a theatrical movie). On the Internet you have to physically go to a site that displays everything about the movie, which you see before you click the Youtube embed. The trailer hypes that you’re about to witness the true story of a musical legend with six platinum albums and five Grammys, while footage of thousands of screaming purple-lighted concert fans plays. I’ve tried my best not to directly mention who turns out to be the subject, but from the title alone, if not the thumbnail, you have probably already guessed… Yes, Daniel Radcliffe is playing Weird Al, specifically the hairy, pre-LASIK giant glasses variant the world was first introduced to. He doesn’t look like the spitting image, but that’s not the point. Like that Carlin guy I mentioned yesterday. Weird Al is one of
Vampirus – How can a Vampire hunt prey if everyone is in Quarantine
Vampirus is a horror-comedy that will give us the “Vietnam Flashbacks” of 2020. It is produced by Forever Safe Productions and is directed by Ryan Ohm. Its stars are Ashley Marie Jones, Michael Holding, Rikki Lee Travolta, and Chanda Daveta. In 2020 the roads will be so empty that the air pollution has dropped tremendously, and wild animals have started having fun in the cities. Owners of Food delivery services laughed themselves to the bank because most people are afraid to dine out. Then we had hotels and restaurants that declared bankruptcy because the economy closed down. Karens became widespread because of Covid Deniers, who refused to wear masks. The Highways are so empty that you can run around like a fool without the risk of being hit by a running vehicle. I still have flashbacks of watching talk shows where all of the audience are on L.E.D screens, and everyone in the studio wears a face mask. I still remember those sports events held in empty arenas with no people.
Shark Movies coming this 2022
Sharks are the King of the ocean, One of the most feared animals in the deep. Even though Sharks rarely attack people, Movie producers love making villains out of them. This 2022, We are not only going to one, not two but three Shark movies! Sharks should be afraid of humans because humans turn them into dumplings, soups, sandwiches, and health supplements. Sharks are essential for the ecosystem because they eat diseased fishes, which leads to the ocean having nothing but healthier fishes left. They are Predators, but they save different fish species from a pandemic. To the Fans of the Natural horror genre of Shark, Here are some Shark movies to look forward to this year A group of rebellious Youth stole some Jet Skis to have fun racing in the ocean. That recklessness leads to an accident, and now they are stranded in the water with their broken jet skis. Their phones have no signal, so they cannot ask for a rescue. To make it worse, A predatory fish now

Don’t Worry Darling – A 1950s housewife stuck in a stepford wives nightmare
Don’t Worry Darling is a horror movie directorial debut of Olivia Wilde. The actress turned director shows promise in the horror genre because the trailer puts dread to a different level. She also played a role in this film because it saved her cash from hiring an actress. It is also the acting debut of former One Direction member Harry Styles. The main male character of the movie franchise “After” is based on fanfiction about him. Now it is ironic that he plays a character similar to Hardin Scott. It is also interesting that we have two British leads in a movie playing American characters. Their American accents are impressive that if I don’t know who they are, I will really think they are American. If you loved Chris Pine in the two Wonder Woman movies, You would hate him here because he plays one of the most sinister villains ever. Also joining the star-studded ensemble are Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and Dita Von Teese. Don’t Worry Darling Trailer Alice (Florence Pugh) is in a
George Carlin: American Dream Premieres on HBO May 20
Humor can be a subjective thing, with different crowds finding different things funny, but I have yet to meet someone that doesn’t like George Carlin. The famed sharp-tongued comedian had a career in stand-up that spanned nearly five decades and never lost its edge. Fourteen years after his death, his quotes are still thrown around the Internet and worn as badges of pride (“Remember how stupid the average person is, then realize half of them are stupider than that.”) Later this month, Carlin will receive the ultimate tribute in HBO’s new documentary George Carlin: American Dream. Carlin was one of the most influential comedians of all time and some very famous and successful people cite him as a role model. Many of them will be appearing to speak in the documentary, including Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Patton Oswalt, Stephen Colbert, Bill Burr, Bette Midler, W. Kamau Bell, Sam Jay, Judy Gold and Jon Stewart. Members of his family and friends will also appear, including Carlin’s daughter Kelly Carlin, his manager
Morbius Reaches Digital May 17, Blu-Ray June 14
Morbius has been the butt of jokes in nerd circles since it came out; pretty much everyone I know thinks the film’s mere existence is hilarious. In the comics, Morbius is a minor Spider-Man villain who only shows up sometimes and isn’t very popular. One common comment I hear is “How does a Morbius movie even make sense?” It makes sense from a business point; if you own the one piece of Marvel that Disney can’t control, you milk that cow for everything it’s worth. Because of that motive, we’re going to get a LOT of tangential Spider-Man related movies starring bit characters who would otherwise have no hope of starring roles. Morbius is just the first to arrive, in what they call the “Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters.” One of the most compelling and conflicted characters in Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters comes to the big screen as Oscar® winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and

Our Love Triangle: A 2024 Viki Original K-Drama Series
“Our Love Triangle” is a Viki Original Korean drama series, released in 2024 (the first episode aired on January 30, 2024). It is categorized as Web Drama and Romance-Comedy and has 10 episodes. What’s the plot? Uuumm … the title sort of gives that away. Are you surprised? Probably not. Because we all know that the world never has enough silly love songs, and Korean dramas don’t have enough love triangles. ♦ Real Love versus Real Acting “Our Love Triangle” begins with a play where two people are expressing their undying love for each other. The play is a production by a group of students who are part of the 27th Class of Hanguk University Theater and Film Department. Yoo Hae Rin stood on her mark, said her lines, and suddenly froze, standing in a position facing the audience. She was probably supposed to be facing the actor who was playing her lover. But why did Yoo Hae Rin freeze at a critical moment in the play? Because sitting in
