These new release announcements follow Mill Creek Entertainment's releases of the first two Ultraman television shows, UltraQ: The Complete Series and Ultraman: The Complete Series, which will be available on October 15th in a choice of collectible Steelbook packaging or standard packaging.

Ultraman was a staple of Japanese culture in the 1960s and 1970s. Created by Tsuburaya Productions, the colorful, metallic hero hails from the far away reaches of space and protects the Earth from the monsters and aliens that threaten to destroy humanity. The show leans heavily into science fiction and action, and also is a special effects showcase for kaiju fans.

We're VERY excited about the release of Ultraman in North America, so keep your eyes and ears on Cereal At Midnight, where we will keep you updated on all the latest news, developments, and reviews of this iconic Japanese character!

Review: Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

Deadpool & Wolverine is less a movie and more a collection of fan service, references, and easter eggs. At the same time, it's a shot in the arm for the flagging Marvel Cinematic Universe, which really should have ended (or at least gone into hibernation) following Avengers: Endgame. Listen, everyone knows the score here: Deadpool exists to break the fourth wall and offering meta commentary on the experience of the film as it happens. It's both refreshing and exhausting in equal portions, but the constant inside jokes that call out everything from other Ryan Reynolds movies to the Disney purchase of Fox to deep cuts for comic book aficionados effectively render non-stop dopamine hits for the viewer that keep things moving along and distract us from the shortcomings of the story.

All the elements for success are there, from real-life heroism, underdogs that the audience can (and should) root for, even triumphs and tragedies as played out agains...
