Much like MTV News and its archives, Pimp My Ride is no longer with us, but Netflix’s new car restoration show Resurrection Rides looks like it’ll be the next best thing when it premieres on July 24th.
In terms of blockbuster sci-fi cinema, July 4th will always belong to the original Independence Day, but this year the holiday will also see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire finally become available to stream on Max.
Amazon’s new Batman: Caped Crusader series from executive producers J. J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm sounds very much like yet another Batman origin story. But the show’s 1940’s, Golden Era of comics vibe makes it seem like it’ll make for a kitschy watch when it debuts on August 1st.
Dead Rising is getting the rerelease treatment for the second time. Capcom has a short trailer for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a re-remaster of the 2006 zombie killing spree game for modern platforms.
But will you be able to turn off the stressful game timer in this iteration? (I doubt it.)
Hugh Grant was fantastic in HBO’s The Regime as the imprisoned former lover of a deranged dictator who locked him away in a dungeon beneath her castle. And it looks like he’s also going to turn it out in in Heretic, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods new horror about a man with a penchant for imprisoning (and torturing) Mormon missionaries. Movie’s out November 15th.
It’s Shadow of the Erdtree day, and Bandai Namco has released a new live-action trailer for the Elden Ring expansion. Crucially, the short video shows what Miriel, Pastor of Vows would look like IRL. He, too, apologizes for the unseemly state of affairs.
Brandy’s role in I Know What You Did Last Summer made her an iconic part of the horror film canon. And judging from the first trailer for A24’s The Front Room from co-directors Sam and Max Eggers, Ms. Norwood is ready to remind theatergoers exactly how she became a scream queen. Movie’s out September 6th.
Finally, at long last, Ace Attorney sickos (including yours truly) will finally get what we’ve been asking for — a rerelease of Ace Attorney Investigations. It’s a spinoff series of the popular Ace Attorney games featuring Miles Edgeworth instead of Phoenix Wright as the protagonist. Crucially with this release, we’re finally getting a Western release of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. I cannot wait till September 6th to play on Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox!
Nintendo’s newest Mario Party game is here. Super Mario Party Jamboree features over 110 new minigames, 20-player online multiplayer, new locations, and new features that will undoubtedly infuriate your friends and family. And best yet, it launches October 17th, just in time for the family holiday get-togethers!
