Trailers have become a significant part of anticipation culture. These days, eager fans analyze every frame of any advance look at shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Avengers: Endgame.

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.

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!

RB tweet: keep grindin
TE tweet: derp
WR tweet: the enemy speaks kindly & holds a knife
