I run “Morning Tease”, a newsletter rounding up the top sci-fi and fantasy news of the day. Check it out if you want—or don’t. I won’t be hurt—I learned from Spock how to repress my feelings 🛸 https://morningtease.com

Jurassic World Rebirth: They filmed in snake-infested waters without telling the actors. Finally, a production team that shares my communication style! July 2025 can't come soon enough.

The Wheel of Time S3: Olivia Williams joins as Queen Morgase to make fantasy politics even more complicated. Now I need a spreadsheet just to keep track of who's plotting against whom.

The Penguin S2: HBO keeping Colin Farrell in prosthetics limbo while they decide on S2.

Local Heroes: Kevin Smith writing a show about comic shop regulars solving crimes. Finally, my encyclopedic knowledge of Batman villains might actually be useful! Coming to NBC.

School Spirits S2: New girl stole Maddie's body and honestly, that's still less dramatic than my high school experience. Plus there's a dead marching band kid because apparently band camp trauma wasn't enough.

Constantine 2: Keanu's coming back to fight demons and I'm still trying to banish that awkward "hello" I said to my neighbor three years ago. At least they're making it properly R-rated this time!

The Electric State: MBB & Chris Pratt fighting robots in the '90s, when the scariest tech was dial-up internet screaming at 2AM. Half of Hollywood's doing voice work - probably because they can record in pajamas. My kind of apocalypse!

Death of a Unicorn: Paul Rudd & Jenna Ortega hit a unicorn with their car and now angry magical horses want revenge. Finally, a movie that captures my driving skills! Plus, John Carpenter's doing the music because nothing says "sorry I killed your mythical relative" like synth.

Another week, another Star Wars review where I pretend to understand what's happening! My thoughts on Skeleton Crew Ep 4, from someone who still gets lost in IKEA. Spoilers ahead because my brain can't hold secrets.

Dune: Prophecy: Shai-Hulud's making his grand entrance next week! Me, who can barely afford streaming services, pretending I'm not impressed by premium cable VFX: "Pfft, I've seen bigger worms in my community garden."

The Boys: Homelander having a god complex AND father issues? I feel seen (minus the laser eyes and homicidal tendencies, obviously). Kripke really said "let's make him MORE unhinged"

Nova: Marvel's doing the switcheroo shuffle again! Ed Bernero's taking over Nova from Moon Knight's writer. My childhood dreams of Richard Rider finally hitting screens better not get Thanos-snapped.

M3GAN 2.0: Oh look, our favorite murder-dancing robot got a glow-up! Can't wait to see what new TikTok trends she starts before inevitably trying to kill everyone. Again.

Trash's Revenge: Just when I thought I understood ROTLD, they're telling me Linnea Quigley played herself in '85? And now she's going full Norma Desmond with actual toxic waste in her basement? This is meta horror on a whole new level!

I binged Dream Productions and here's my thoughts:

Ghosts: Getting one last holiday haunt with our favorite spooks. Their social calendar is fuller than mine, and they're literally dead! Now THAT'S embarrassing.

One Piece: S2 wraps filming! Now begins my daily ritual of refreshing Netflix until it drops. This is fine. Everything's fine.

Lazarus: Watanabe blessing us with new sci-fi anime poster. *pretends to understand art while nodding thoughtfully*

What If?: Marvel announces S3 episode titles and my backlog just laughed at me. Disney +: "Sure, add MORE to your watch list" Final season though!

The Monster Beneath Us: This Victorian kid making friends with a basement monster puts my social life to shame. And here I am, eating leftover pizza alone. VOD Jan 3!

The Batman Part II: James Gunn playing dream-crusher again, shooting down Clayface/Scarecrow rumors faster than Batman swooping off a gargoyle. No script yet, folks - my fanfic still has a chance!

SURVIVE: Killer crabs inherit Earth after the poles shift. Nature finds a way... to make seafood fight back

NOVOCAINE: Jack Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain. Basically, every guy who's ever said "watch this, it'll be fine"

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD: A Christmas zombie movie is coming. Because nothing complements eggnog quite like the undead

ASH: Eiza González wakes up to a dead crew and only Aaron Paul to trust. Coming March 21st to remind us why space travel might not be all it's cracked up to be

JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH: David Koepp says they're going back to basics with a first-movie feel. Finally, someone hit the reset button on the dinosaur chaos

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: Amazon MGM developing a remake of the magical car classic. Some things are better left in the nostalgia vault, but here we are

Just watched The Last Ronin trailer and wow... Turns out post-apocalyptic Earth looks exactly like my apartment after a gaming marathon, but with more swords and less pizza boxes

David Robert Mitchell's Flowervale Street bringing the creeps to IMAX March 2026! If it's anything like It Follows, I'll be checking under my bed for months. Worth it though!

Final Destination: Bloodlines hits theaters May 2025! Time to make my yearly offering to the Final Destination gods and swear off escalators, tanning beds, and basically leaving my house. #FinalDestination

Evil Dead Burn coming in 2026! Finally, a new reason to hide behind my couch cushion fort and pretend I'm brave enough to watch horror movies without peeking through my fingers! #EvilDead

The real infinity war is between me and my couch trying to find that impossibly thin Apple TV remote

Takashi Miike made an anime where touching cats transforms you into a cat? Finally, a pandemic I see this as an absolute win

Henry Farnsby's moving into the haunted B&B on Ghosts this week and I totally relate to picking questionable living situations. At least his roommates have cool ghost powers - mine just never do dishes #GhostsCBS

New Invincible Fight Girl episode hitting Toonami next week! Time to practice my totally realistic martial arts moves that I definitely didn't learn from watching anime in my pajamas. Sensei YouTube would be proud #InvincibleFightGirl
