This week, the guys cover some movie news and ALL THE TV NEWS!!! AGAIN!!!
Seriously though, it’s that time of year and after last weeks deep dive, the networks released a whole mess of trailer for their mediocre new shows! Yay!

Zac Efron will play Peg Ted Bundy
Mamma Mia, Here we go again
David Ayer signs on for Scarface
Angela Bassett takes over for Alec Baldwin in MI6
Godzilla adds a couple cast members
ABC trailers
NBC trailers
CBS trailers
Fox trailers
CW Trailers
Wonder Woman might actually be good *fingers crossed*
And Tom Hardy might be Eddie Brock, Mac Gargon, or Flash Thompson

All that, the Weekly Watched, and just a couple tangents.

Fall Previews – 2016

05/25/201605/25/2016 ~ RDT ~ Leave a comment

Network upfronts are done, and previews for most shows (but not all – Where’s my Riverdale trailer, CW?!?!?) have been released. So, we thought we’d compile them all in one convenient post and give some initial thoughts. It’s like our Weekend Watch column, but for new TV shows!

ABC

Downward Dog

Loren: This looks sadder than it probably should. Also just weird. Won’t last.

RDT: Ok, if it’s just 4th-wall breaking and the dog (Walter) is addressing the audience directly, why do his lips move? It bothered me. Also, agree with Loren, it looks really sad. Alison Tolman deserves better.

Imaginary Mary

Loren: Looks like it would be a cute movie, but a terrible show. Either way I won’t be watching it. 5 episodes.

RDT: This feels like a pretty standard sitcom was given a(n unnecessary) gimmick. Pass.

Shane Black hits us with a ton of Predator, excuse me, THE Predator news
New T2 on the way (but not that one)
Maybe a new Bond, too?
A Gunslinger is revealed
And a Transformer is confirmed
More video game movies
The Rock launching his own cinematic universe
8 Fast 8 Furious villain revealed
Jay Roach is ready for Austin Powers 4, but is Mike Meyers? (And even more importantly, are we?)
Is Star Trek Beyond?
Can Harley Quinn save the DCEU?
How about Jon Berg and Geoff Johns?
Is there a Crisis coming to The CW?
Are you sick of these click-baity questions?
Arrow’s season 5 big bad teased by the Green Arrow himself
Gambit’s going the route of Deadpool
Wolverine (3) gets a lady
And a whole lot of MCU news I’m way too lazy to type out…

All that and the usual tangents, plus what the f— is going on with Archie & the Riverdale gang, and all the other 2016 fall shows?
