We get trailers every single week, but I feel like they really blessed us with some great stuff these past couple of days. Let’s dive right in on this final day of April!
Movies
Wish
It looks SO GOOD! I really hope this one takes off, because it looks so interesting.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes
I’m kind of miffed just how GOOD this looks. Like, the parallels are already showing in the trailer, the movie is going to be unhinged. I just know all the girlies are lusting after young Snow already and I can’t … that man took one of my all time favorite characters from me. I need y’all to promise me to not fall for his charm, we cannot redeem him!
Strange Way of Life
No idea what’s going on, not usually an Almodovar fan and this looks weirdly camp, but it’s Pedro. I will be seated.
Robots
Not a duo I expected at all, but it looks so funny.
The Flash
Look, there’s just no way I will support this movie. DC lost me, even if they got Michael Keaton back.
Maggie Moore(s)
Why is this so funny?
Next Goal Wins
Did not expect Fassbender in this kind of role, but I, too, would do any project that Taika Waititi is involved in.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
I’m really not sure I’ve watched all the movies leading up to this one. I feel like I’m missing something.
A Haunting in Venice
Such a great cast, so much haunting.
Buddy Games: Spring Awakening
Apparently this is a sequel, but to a movie I literally have no recollection of.
A Beautiful Life
No clue what the movie is about, but that was a nice song.
Johnny & Clyde
Avan Jogia is making weird acting choices.
It Lives Inside
I just saw the actress from Never Have I Ever, but I don’t think I can stomach this movie.
TV Shows
XO, Kitty
I’m so HERE FOR IT! And Kitty definitely isn’t a kid anymore.
Platonic
THIS is my kind of show. Give me all the complicated platonic ish.
Barracuda Queens
Immediately gave me Bling Ring vibes, just with different motives.
The Tailor
Netflix is really going for those “loosely based on true events” kind of stories.
Black Knight
That looks like some good dystopian post-apocalyptic stuff.
Twisted Metal
They really think they can adapt more games now that some were successful, eh?
Heartstopper (Season 2 Date Announcement)
IT RELEASES ON MY BIRTHDAY!
And Just Like That (Season 2)
Never check into the previous season, so can’t say much.
The Witcher (Season 3)
Still can’t imagine Henry being recast … with someone younger?
Black Mirror (Season 6)
I kinda thought we were already living in the latest season of Black Mirror … but I shall tune in (to selected episodes) again!
Life and Other Disasters 
Thoughts:
1. Wish: Hmm…it’s been a while since I’ve actually been interested in watching a Disney movie not under the Marvel banner. I may check this out.
2. The Flash: I’ll only see it to stave off FOMO.
3. A Haunting in Venice: I read the book this is based on earlier this year. And I am not seeing any resemblance besides the lead character and the relation to Halloween, so far. Apparently they did more than change the setting with this adaptation!
4. It Lives Inside: OMG, did someone make this movie just for me? I WANT TO SEE IT!!!

Noooo! Rami, don’t give DC money for that movie. Wait until it’s out on a streaming platform somewhere 😭
Oh wow, did I just introduce a movie to you that you might really like!? It Lives Inside did seem like something you’d enjoy.

You did, you did. And you know what? I might consider waiting until streaming. I’ve dealt with FOMO before, I can do it again.

I can’t wait for XO Kitty and I was really excited to see that Black Mirror is coming back. I didn’t think it ever would, but I agree with you I feel; it feels like we’ve been living in an episode of the show for some time now.

Life has just been unhinged these past couple of years, so if someone had told me we were all extras in the latest Black Mirror season, I’d have bought it.

Wish does look cute!
I’ll admit, I haven’t been so much looking forward to the Ballad book and then the movie when it was first announced – BECAUSE WE NEEDED A HAYMITCH BOOK MORE. But after the trailer I’m like… hmm okay… so what other book can I put off reading so I can read Ballads. And then of course a reread of The Hunger Games because why not 😂 But that can be done uhhh closer to the actual time of the movie lol.
No but literally I see Pedro and I’m like “add to watchlist”
Honestly was very sceptical at first with the Robots trailer but then it actually looks so funny and good?
I need to uhh read the To all the Boys books and then watch the movies because I’ve only seen the first movie. But I liked it and enjoyed Kitty’s character and the trailer looks very cute.

I was obsessed with the Hunger Game books at some point in my teen years, but I just don’t know if I can dive back in. I’m not really a person who rereads and I worry that something will taint my memory for some reason.
Pedro really is THAT guy at the moment. We all love him and he so deserves it.
The To all the Boys books are really very different from the movies. I’ve read them all and at some point, you really do wonder where some of the plot points went. But I liked the movies regardless and am VERY excited for XO, Kitty. This is totally new material!

I’m for rereads so I know I’ll easily get back into that craze lol. I was nearly ready to rewatch the movies when people were posting edits the second the trailer came out.
I did see people saying the books are different from the movies. I know they changed the surname – or like swapped middle name and surname something.
LikeLike
Oh, they changed so much more than just the surname haha Parts of it aren’t even recognizable anymore. They’re still fun movies though!

Ooh, I’ll definitely keep that in mind as I do want to read before watching. And Kitty’s spin-off looks so cute!
