It's easy to get bogged down in all the garbage that comes out, so I thought it would be nice to talk about actually good media. Personally, I wanted to see if there is anything decent coming out I may have missed as well.

Talking about upcoming movies or shows is one of the least positive things I can think of to do. LOL
Yeah, my answer for movies is "literally none". But it's not that negative either, there's still plenty good stuff to watch and do without 2023 Hollywood dregs.
none. most will have a political message to it or some sort of virtual signaling leftist agenda to whatever it is. Hollywood is dead.
I'm looking forward to whatever DVDs and BluRays I find at garage sales that I might have never seen, or, even better, never heard of.
Anime.
Recently found out they're making a Venture Bros movie (The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart). I'm looking forward to that because the series was great.
I'm hoping that it's good because it's a legacy series (better chance to be old-school, i.e. less woke trash) and also the series' end.
Will the original people be involved?
Yes. It's basically the series finale.
I have pretty high hopes for the Venture Bros movie, maybe too high, but the show has been consistently great from the start. I'm happy they are finishing it with a movie because the story has gotten pretty crazy. Doing it like this makes it pretty final.
Every time I see clips of recent movies and TV shows all I can think about is how flat and/or poorly lit they look.
It's a fairly recent phenomena too: even as late as 2019 I don't remember noticing it. But after WuFlu I've noticed a pretty steep drop in production quality.
This would be a great use for AI.... have it watch all the garbage and tell me if there is any faggotry, feminism, anti-white or anti-Christian messaging.
Then I could watch the .001% of stuff that doesn't have it.
If you want anything good - actually good not just the "least worst" we're stuck scrounging lately - your best bet is to look backwards for any older stuff you never got around to.
I'm looking forward to seeing Shin Kamen Rider next month in theaters, directed and written by Hideaki Anno of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame. Apart from that, the next Mission Impossible movie looks like it might be good; they even ditched JJ Abrams' Bad Robot Productions.

I havnt been to theaters for 20 years. I never had subscription to netflix. Only time i actively watch a movie is if i watch a random clip online and it interests me.
For myself, I am looking forward to Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and Cobra Kai season 6.
Nolan usually has really neat visual effects, and the plots are complex in a neat way. I think he's one of the last great directors in Hollywood. The all-star cast is great to see as well.
Corny as it is, Kobra Kai is usually really fun, and is one of the few legacy shows that actually feels like to caters to fans of the original. Excited to see how it wraps up.
Definitely agree on Oppenheimer. I am just glad that historical movies have actually been pretty good at holding out all things considered.
Other than that on movies, John Wick 4 was pretty good (already seen), and for newer I am going to be seeing the new Mission:Impossible, The Expendables 4 (I am a sucker for dumb action movies, especially these days), and Dune 2.
Other than that, I am mostly just continuing watching anime, but I am on a backlog and catching up from previous years so that may not count. If it does, then I am finally going to sit down and watch through all of Fairy Tail, S2 of Vinland Saga, and all of Demon Slayer.
I know it wasnt on the list, but video games are where I actually put in a lot of my time now, and that list would be Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, War Hospital, and Age of Wonders 4.
I had forgot about Dune part 2. I am looking forward to that one as well
I love the mission impossible movies
I'm sorry, I can't help you with this.
Nothing in particular. The only games I'm really looking forward to are Tears of the Kingdom and Armored Core 6 as well. There might be some anime that I'll watch, but I usually wait until they're finished airing.
I sometimes catch bits of my wife’s TV shows when she watches and it seems like, quite apart from the ideological capture, the other thing all shows do now is write the characters as if they know they’re in a show and think it’s funny, or at least that they’re analyzing their own fictional life in terms of TV shows/movies. “Hey girl, I bought you flowers! Haha, so cliche, right? Total romcom move, I know!” Just what you’d get from writers who have no life experience besides watching shows, and who analyze their own lives in terms of shows.
So they could wipe away all ideology from TV right now and I’d still be unwilling to watch. Maybe the writer’s strike will backfire when Hollywood finds replacements who can write real human characters.
I tend not to watch anything after 2014 with few exceptions or when someone I trust recommends it but I would say Warhammer should be good, the name escapes me but the Chris Pratt Amazon show is coming back for a season 2, another season of Blue Bloods, and for what it’s worth, the head writer of the new xmen animated series only wants writers who are fans of the original animated series but one of the show runners rambled on about being gay so there is that.
I heard that was good
Mostly different anime and jrpgs. I'm watching Tokyo revengers right now and its solid, same with konosuba. I finished trails to azure so waiting on trails to reverie, the newest in ther series
On the movie end of things I'm looking forward to Dune 2 in November.
Is there any good anime on the horizon? I haven't watched anime in ages and could use something decent to look forward to.
Well, the new season of Beavis and Butt-Head is airing right now. That's something, I guess.
Renfield is awesome. D&D was fun. I really enjoyed Super Mario Bros. It looks like a bunch of good films are coming.
Besides Opennheimer (which was already mentioned) I think just Extraction 2.
Yeah, it's a sequel, but it's that kind of movie where the plot matters less than the action sequences, so if done right it can be even better than the first.
I wasnt really into the games, but im pretty excited for the FNAF movie coming in october.
The animatronics wont be CGI, they are made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and the story is batshit crazy, i think it has potential.
I like it when they still do practical effects as much as possible. Not a FNAF fan, I don't really care about horror in general, but props to them.
I am looking forward to the new Transformers movie in hopes that it will be as good as Bumblebee was. There is some stuff that gives me pause in the trailer though so who knows.
I'm looking forward to Dune as well, and the Expendables because I like 80s action movies.
I don't think there's any more movies that are worth looking forward to this year; the ones that are have already been released.
As far as shows go, the only thing I keep up with is anime that gets released on HiDive. No idea if Vinland Saga 2 will get released on it this year or not.
Pretty sure 12 episodes have released already maybe even the whole season
On Crunchyroll maybe. Not on HiDive (which does have the first season)
I was a regular movie goer, but over the last 6 years I have all but ceased going out to see anything. SInce COVID hit, I've seen GB Afterlife, Dune Part 1, and TG: Maverick in theaters, and that is it. Dune part II is the last hollywood movie I am waiting for, and other than that, AFAIAC, Hollywood produced content is on "wait and see" status.
I have a whole list of TV shows that I watch, but I sail the high seas for those. I'm not particularly enthused to see one more than any other, but they are shows I have found worth the time to watch. I have quite the collection of dead TV shows, with examples like Debris, Defying Gravity, Almost Human, and No Ordinary Family.
I've been watching Lucky Hank with Bob Odenkirk on AMC.
Supposedly it's based on a non-fiction novel about a Literature professor at a mediocre small college hitting his existential crisis.
Season 1 has 8 episodes and the finale is next Sunday.
The series has been okay so far although it does feel like the storylines are scattershot and there's something unsatisfying.
The narratives themselves haven't been too woke, though the casting of his fellow English department profs include a Wendy Wheelchair, a jogger and a mixed race couple in an open relationship.
