A note from The Grand High Tentacle: We asked our Kali Krew to tell us what new books, movies, and games they were looking forward to for the later half of 2019. We are inundated with so much subpar crap on a daily basis that saying “I can’t wait for this” is a bit like trusting a moderately skilled marksman to shoot a date out of your hand. Could go swimmingly, could end up with you sobbing and wondering what made you think that was a good idea.
Anyways, on movies there was strong agreement. Books were a bit of a free for all. Games were entirely Gracie’s fault, so if those suck, you can blame her and only her.
Seriously, though, you know how much easier these lists are to do when there’s more than just a couple of people giving their opinions?!
Anywho, give the nicely ordered lists below an eyeing, and let us know what you’re right pissed about us leaving off.
