Distinctly different than the original comic character or the character shown in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (also voiced by Cage), the opening episode of Amazon Prime’s Spider-Noir series introduces Private Detective Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) as a former super-hero turned struggling gumshoe just trying to make a living in the big city which is still reeling from the Great Depression and machinations of crime lord Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson).

The Punisher: One Last Kill

Set during a similar period of Daredevil: Reborn, but not really a tie-in, the one-off special The Punisher: One Last Kill catches up with a spent Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) having killed off various members of the Gnucci Crime Family seeking retribution for the death of his own. Having completed his quest, the special amps up the character’s inner demons and PTSD having him hallucinate various people in his life over the course of the show including his daughter and those who he served with. I guess this is what we are getting instead of a second season of Moon Knight.

1997 – The Love Bug

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Love Bug (1997)
  • IMDb: link

Largely forgotten, the 1997 entry in the Herbie franchise was a TV-movie which premiered on The Wonderful World of Disney. Perhaps the first requel, The Love Bug follows the same structure of the original film with Herbie falling through the hands of a villain (John Hannah) and into the possession of a mechanic and failed race car driver who has seen better days. While confused by the odd things which happen in the car, Hank Cooper (Bruce Campbell) refuses to acknowledge its sentience, or Herbie’s help in winning a race, leaving his wacky best bud (Kevin J. O’Connor) to be the one who first connects with the car. And, just for good measure, we get a romantic story thrown in as well.
