This looks good. Godzilla is getting another release, but this time it is an animated film. So for all us anime/animation fans, like me, this is cool and the trailer looks really nice. The film is entitled Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters and it will be opening in Japan on November 17 and then Netflix will be getting global streaming afterwards. So those of you with Netflix will get to see this before me. Like everything Netflix I will have to wait until it is released on DVD/Blu-ray. Thanks to ICv2 for linking the studios trailer from the anime company’s YouTube channel:
The Make Pretend’s is giving our listeners a taste of their style with their music video “Sorry I Let You Down”. The style of the single as well as how the music video was shot really harkens back to the late 1980’s, early 1990’s. Even the bands name The Make Pretend gives that 1980’s feeling. So everyone that loves that styling will dig this and the video to boot. “Sorry I Let You Down” is from the band’s album Fortune Factory which is available now and they are letting our listeners check out their video and then go pick up their album. And for those that still love a physical album the band is happy to say you have that option with Fortune Factory. Here’s The Make Pretend’s music video for “Sorry I Let You Down” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Sterling Rhyne is hitting the streets of New York with this Jazzy debut single “Remedy”. Some people on think of Jazz as being an instrumental genre, but Sterling is reminding everyone that vocals are a key part of the genre as well.

Pokemon is getting three new titles in 2018 with the first two being new manga. In the Spring Pokemon Sun & Moon will be released and then in the Summer Pokemon Horizon: Sun & Moon will follow close behind. Another title for the summer is just a single book for Pokemon crafts entitled PomPom Pokemon. As big as Pokemon is these are titles many will want to put in their personal collections and public libraries will want to consider adding them to their collections as well. Thanks to ICv2 for the info and image.
Conventioner is a musician based out of Florida that is working on his Sophomore EP after his Legacy EP. He is giving ComicPop listeners a chance to sample his music with “Never Breaking”, one of his newer releases. The single is a synth ballad that flows over the listener. Not what you normally think of with synth and the dance floor, but for a change of pace to slow it down a bit it still works. Because you know every once in a while you need to slow it down on the dance floor. Check out Conventioner’s single “Never Breaking” through SoundCloud – Richard:
