I was kind of skeptical about Mulan but this actually looks pretty exciting. Mulan will be in theaters on March 27th.

Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For Top Gun: Maverick!
Here it is! The Top Gun: Maverick Super Bowl spot!
This spot admittedly doesn’t really tell you a lot about the film. Tom Cruise is back, but we already knew that. Val Kilmer shows up for a second or two. Lots of airplanes, of course. And really, that’s probably all that this preview needed to be effective.
Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge On The Run
Me: “Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t like SpongeBob?”
World: “Yes!”
Me: “Oh. Okay.”
Well, regardless of how I might feel about SpongeBob, the rest of the world seems to be excited about his upcoming movie. Here’s the Super Bowl spot!
Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For Sonic The Hedgehog
I guess the point of this trailer is that Sonic The Hedgehog is really, really fast.
At least he doesn’t look no longer looks like he’s going to kill someone, so that’s an improvement. Seriously, film twitter takes a lot of criticism but this is one of those rare cases where the folks at Paramount should be thanking everyone who complained online.
Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For Hunters!
Hunters is a show that I’m very much looking forward to. Al Pacino hunting down Nazi war criminals? Seriously, how can you not want to see that? Here’s the Super Bowl spot for Hunters, which is definitely intriguing. I like the contrast between the placid surface of suburbia and the truth lurking right underneath the surface.
The first episode of Hunters will drop on February 21st!
Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For A Quiet Place 2
Well, it’s Super Bowl Sunday and you know what that means! It’s time for everyone to watch the commercials. As we do every year, we’re going to post every single teaser and trailer that drops during the big game. Actually, it may be a little bit easier than usual this year because, apparently, there aren’t going to be as many trailers as there have been in the past. It’s not cheap to advertise during the Super Bowl and a lot of studios apparently decided that money could be put to better use elsewhere. It makes sense, really. Why spend millions to run one commercial during the Super Bowl when you can just drop the ad on YouTube and then have your star tweet out the link?
That said, we should still have a few trailers to look forward. For instance, here’s the Super Bowl teaser for A Quiet Place 2!
Since Jon Krasinski’s character died at the end of the first film, I’m going to assume that this sequel is going to be, at least partially, a prequel. So, we’ll get to see how the Earth got invaded and all that good stuff. I thought the first A Quiet Place was absolutely brilliant so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing if the sequel can live up to it!
My 2020 Super Bowl Predictions
A Super Bowl without the Patriots?
It had to happen sometime. Actually, it happened back in 2016, when the Broncos beat the Panthers. Still, this is going to be the first Super Bowl since Donald Trump became president that will not feature Tom Brady out on the field.
Instead, it will be the Chiefs vs. the 49ers, two strong teams that have earned their right to play in the biggest game of the year. It will be Kyle Shanahan vs. Andy Reid, Jimmy Garoppolo vs. Patrick Mahomes. Everyone will be watching the game. I remember that, in one of the old editions of Madden, Al Michaels used to describe the Super Bowl as being “an unofficial holiday” and he is right. With the commercials and the half-time show, even people who hate football will be watching the game.
As far as the game goes, I don’t really have a dog in this hunt. If the Ravens or the Patriots were appearing in the Super Bowl, I would be excited for the game but the Chiefs and the 49ers are two teams that I don’t really follow.
From what I have seen, I think it’s going to be a close Super Bowl. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the 49ers jump out to an early lead just to have the Chiefs fight their way back into the game. But anything could happen. Both teams seem to be evenly matched. I’m looking forward to watching Mahomes throw the ball for the Chiefs, just like I’m looking forward to seeing what Richard Sherman does on defense for the 49ers.
My final prediction:
Kansas City Chiefs — 28
San Francisco 49ers — 27
It’s going to be the type of game that we’ll end up telling our children about.
6 Super Bowl Commercials that Lisa Won’t Forget
So, I’m sitting here like I do every year and I’m trying to pick my favorite Super Bowl ads. (After all, the commercials are the only reason that I ever watch the Super Bowl.) And I have to say that I’m having some difficulty doing it this year because, for the most part, all of the commercials were hella forgettable. There were a few good ones and a few bad ones but the majority of them were just kind of there.
The bad ones, of course, were easy to spot. There was that creepy Robochild who I guess is supposed to convince you to get your taxes done or something. The first Google ad — the one about people using Google translate to discover how to say “I love you” — was a bit too desperate to convince us that Google is a force of good as opposed to evil. (As long as I can always use it to check the weather, I really don’t care what Google does in its spare time.) I might have liked the Steve Carell Pepsi ads if they had been for Coke instead. You have to understand that, down south where I live, we kind of find Pepsi to be offensive.
To be honest, the best ads were the movie trailers but I just spent about 5 hours posting all 16 of those to the site. Here are 6 other commercials that, regardless of whether I liked them or even found them to be effective, I won’t forget.
1. Every Super Bowl, I look forward to the new M&M’s commercial. This year’s was as cute as always and Christina Applegate did a good job selling the frustration.

2. I didn’t necessarily like this Audi commercial but it did spark an interesting theological debate between me and my sister about whether or not anyone would really need a car in Heaven. Eventually, we concluded that the guy was actually in Purgatory, or at least he was until his life was saved. It bothers me that, at the end of the commercial, that guy has a half-digested cashew somewhere on his desk.
3. I preferred the robots from this Michelob commercials to the Robo Child.

4. I’m not really sure what’s supposed to be going on in these commercials for Turkish Airlines. I’m assuming that this is meant to be appeal to international assassins.
5. I did like this Olay commercial, mostly because of the horror angle.

6. And finally, there’s this commercial, which starts out as a Bud Light commercial but then quickly becomes something else. I know I already shared this earlier tonight but seriously, this was so obviously the winner of the Super Bowl commercial sweepstakes that I simply have to show it again!
Here’s The Super Bowl Teaser for Toy Story 4!
Right after the game ended, PIXAR snuck in this little teaser for Toy Story 4. I have to admit that I nearly changed the channel and missed it. I’m glad I didn’t!
Anyway, it looks like Buzz is still getting into trouble and Woody is still trying to hold it all together. To be honest, I thought Toy Story 3 ended the series on a perfect note so I’ll be curious to see what they do with Toy Story 4. But you know what? It’s PIXAR and it’s Toy Story so I have faith!
Here’s The Super Bowl Spot For Alita: Battle Angel!
This Super Bowl spot from Alita: Battle Angel aired earlier in the game and I somehow missed it. (I was probably talking about that Game Of Thrones/Bud Light ad.) So, here it is now!
This film was produced and written by James Cameron and directed by Robert Rodriguez. According to this spot, if you don’t see this film in a theater, the world will end and it’ll be all your fault. So, I guess you better make the time.
Here’s the spot:
