It's so fun listening to Postmodern Jukebox's latest twist on a familiar tune. This time, they turn one of my favorite Roxette songs into a 1960s style masterpiece.
I can't wait to see them perform live again in December!
"The Ballad of the Witches' Road" from Marvel'sAgatha All Alongis so delightfully spooky. The song, which is perfect for the Halloween season, was written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez, the duo behind the songs of Frozen.

The voice cast includes Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, Liza Lapira as Disgust, Maya Hawke as Anxiety, Ayo Edebiri as Envy, Adรจle Exarchopoulos, as Ennui, and Paul Walter Hauser as Embarrassment.

The final trailer for Marvel'sVenom: The Last Dancehas arrived. It looks like they are going back to the humor of the first film, so it should be a good conclusion to Eddie and Venom's adventures. (And in a moment of pure nostalgia, one of my favorite songs from childhood, Cat Stevens' "Wild World", is played throughout this trailer.)
Venom: The Last Dance arrives in theaters on October 25th.
The final trailer for The Wild Robothas arrived and it looks wonderful. I'm excited to see how Roz becomes a part of the island and befriends all of its creatures.

Can you believe Marvel has been telling us incredible stories for 85 years? I wonder if Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko had any idea what an impact they would have on us when they first created Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the X-Men. I can't wait to see where Marvel goes next!
