This was a glorious week for trailers! So much so that I feel like some upstaged others when they were released simultaneously. Anyway, check it all out for yourself!
Movies
Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker
Not gonna lie, I got chills and may have shed a tear.
I am part of the faction “if Rey turns out to be a Skywalker I will be disappointed cause it seems like a boring option”, but I am all for Leia adopting her.
The Lion King
You know what? I wasn’t fully on board with this and I think it doesn’t fall under the category “live action”, but this trailer. My oh my, it made me nostalgic and excited.
Pokémon Detective Pickachu
The pokémon look so weird but I cannot wait to watch it in full.
The Addams Family
I am living for the noose braids, but I’d actually have loved it if it had been live action because Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron could have pulled it off FOR SURE!
Stuber
I feel so sorry for Kumail’s character.
The Last Summer
This is probably going to be as mediocre-meh as The Perfect Date, but I will still watch it.
Anna
The fact that they mostly just show one fight scene is not very promising, but Cillian Murphy!!!
The Professor
I just can’t. Johnny Depp has lost all appeal for me. Not even the fact that this was filmed in Vancouver and I recognise half the locations helps.
Wine Country
Not sure I find this funny.
TV Shows
Veronica Mars
IT RETURNS!! WE HAVE A DATE!!! THIS IS REAL. You cannot believe how happy I am right now, because Veronica Mars was my hero growing up. Heck, she’s still my hero right now and I knew they were making a return with the show, I just didn’t know it would be so soon.
Lucifer (Season 4)
This tells you literally nothing except for the date of return.
Younger (Season 6)
It’s another date reveal!
American Horror Story (Season 9 – 1984)
Okay, so I watched the last season of AHS (Cody Fern be blessed), but I am not sure I am going to return. I think this was a one off for me.
Tales of the City
This has great emotional potential.
The Circle
Do you live in the US and have always dreamed of taking part in a super weird Netflix reality show? Here’s your chance!
Street Food
Netflix making you hungry once more.
Lunatics
Uhm … no, thank you.
Chambers
Too creepy realistic for comfort.
Do you want to watch any of the things mentioned here? What are you most excited about? Let’s talk!
I always get excited when there is a new show about food. I will definitely be adding Street Food to my list!
I can not wait for Veronica Mars. So freaking excited!!!

I just want you to know I LOVE that you post these 😭 I am definitely most excited for Star Wars! I feel like making Rey a Skywalker is an obvious choice…but with the title of the film, who else would it be? I’m not sure how I feel about her being a Skywalker or not.

Thank you so much! I really like doing these posts, so it’s a win-win.
And as for Rey being a Skywalker, she could get adopted. I’d be down haha

Thoughts:
1. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker: I have no idea what’ll happen and I’m keeping my enthusiasm contained, but I’m looking forward to it.
2. Lion King: I keep thinking they looked more alive and expressive in animation than CGI. Nothing about this film impresses me so far.
3. Detective Pikachu: My sister, her boyfriend and I are going to see this opening weekend and we can’t wait.
4. The Addams Family: Oh, I can’t wait! This looks absolutely amazing!
5. Stuber: When I saw this trailer in theaters yesterday, I thought, “He’s going to be revealed to be a suspended cop, and that’s why he’s using an Uber.” I won’t go see the film, but I’m looking forward to seeing whether or not I’m right.
6. Anna: Looks pretty generic as far as female-led action films go these days. It’ll need something more to get me interested.
7. Lucifer: It may only be a release date, but it’s got all the Lucifans in a tizzy! I’ve already started rewatching Season 2, and can’t wait for more!
8: AHS: 1984: As a huge fan of slashers from that era, especially the Friday the 13th franchise, I’m looking forward to this. Even if Evan Peters isn’t in this season due to scheduling conflicts.
9. Chambers: Reminds me of a horror film I saw a long time ago, but it still looks amazing! I’ll put it on my watch list.

Did you like episode 8 of Star Wars? Cause I did, so I am just excited about the new one.
Anna is a Luc Besson film. He just isn’t as good as he used to be. I miss the days of Léon.

I did like Episode VII. I’m one of the few people I know who did. I know it’s not perfect, but man is it a twisty and crazy thrill ride.
Hopefully Episode IX will have a better reception.

You just said episode 7. Even though I asked about 8. But you meant 8, right?

The Rise of Skywalker trailer has me so hyped. Absolutely can not wait. I did not know Veronica Mars was coming back. I never got into it coz I was kinda young when it first aired, but I always wanted to watch it. I guess now is the perfect time to jump in!

I think I was technically too young for Veronica Mars when I watched it, but I always watched things I was too young for haha (except horror stuff. I stayed away from that)

Admittedly, the only reason I watched the trailer for Anna was because of Cillian Murphy. Unfortunately, the rest of the trailer did not impress me.
I am with you in the disappointment camp if Rey turns out to be a Skywalker. That’s such a cheap plot device. The trailer looked epic. I got chills.
Lion King ❤ As a childhood favourite I am quite invested in this film. This trailer gave me chills and that odd tickle in my throat. If I'm this emotional now, I will be a wreck when I watch the film.

Cillian could entice me to watch right about anything ahaha
It just feels like lazy writing if Rey is a Skywalker. Why did we do this whole thing if we are just going to negate a bunch of stuff from episode 8?

Yeah lion king brings the nostalgia with those trailers- can’t say I’ll break with tradition and watch one of the live action versions though 😉

So far, the live action stuff that I have watched (and I haven’t watched them all) has been disappointing to say the least.
