Masters of the Universe: Revolution

In the ‘80s, everyone who glued their eyes to TV screens on Saturday mornings was no stranger to He-Man and his troupe of heroes. Hoping to breathe life anew into the beloved Saturday morning cartoon classic, Netflix’s Masters of the Universe: Revolution has He-Man facing off once more against a mechanized version of his rival, Skeletor. This series is perfect for those who want to sit through an action-packed adventure or for those who are feeling nostalgic about the character.

Hazbin Hotel

Hazbin Hotel originally made waves online when its pilot episode was uploaded on YouTube in 2019 by its creator, Vivienne Medrano (known online as VivziePop). It centers around Charlie Morningstar, the princess of hell, and her quest to rehabilitate demons to allow them entry into heaven. Based on the views alone, currently sitting at 93 million, there’s no denying its large following. A24 was fast to pick up the series, as its first season is set to come out this Jan. 19.

Aside from the brilliant action and fluid animation, the show has a remarkable roster for its cast with Steven Yeun voicing Mark and J.K. Simmons as his father. 

In the Know

Who remembers Adult Swim’s Space Ghost: Coast to Coast? In the Know follows a similar format, but instead of having a 1960s Hannah-Barbera cartoon as its host, the show has a stop-motion puppet named Lauren Caspian interviewing real-life celebrities. Finn Wolfhard, Hugh Laurie, Norah Jones, and Mike Tyson are among the few who are set to make an appearance.  Bringing the show to life Mike Judge, an icon in the adult animated series industry for bringing us shows like Beavis and Butthead, Daria, and King of the Hill. 

Suicide Squad Isekai
