Neo Yokio is premiering on Netflix on September 22nd, so let’s discuss why this anime might be different from all the others. Neo Yokio is a Korean, Japanese, and American co-production.

If we learned anything from The Avengers, it’s that fighting supervillainy in a group setting must immediately be followed up with food. The Defenders traded in the shawarma of their tights wearing contemporaries for some very tasty looking Chinese food. I actually ate Chinese take-out the same night I watched this episode. Guys! They’re just…
In a recent article from The New York Times, Hollywood blamed rating website Rotten Tomatoes for their loss in viewers and revenue. “Studio executives’ complaints include the way its Tomatometer hacks off critical nuance, the site’s loose definition of who qualifies as a critic and the spread of scores across the web. Last year, scores…
On the money side of things, this summer was a major dud at the box office. But there were still some titles that had fans willing to break out their wallets. Just apparently not enough of them. This September movie lineup is pretty similar. There are a few that will do well. Some look promising…

Not only does the group finally team up in episode 3, but we see what The Defenders are truly capable of. Namely, beating up bad guys in hallways. What an action scene that was. With that being said, the Hand still hasn’t developed past bad guys who want to do bad stuff. But we’re learning…
Season four of Netflix’s animated series Bojack Horseman is debuting September 8th, and early reviews are already out. Some reviews have called it a satire of the 2016 presidential election saying, “The show uses this election arc as a means to a number of fascinating, fruitful ends.
