Some Good Burger, Some Bad News, and Shazam?

Hope your weekend went well. We’ve got kind of a strange and sad assortment of news today, so I’m not going to be my usual sarcastic self. We’ve got a Good Burger sequel announcement, Lance Reddick dies at 60, Jirard buys up a bunch of Nintendo games before they’re delisted, and Shazam has quite underwhelming weekend.


‘Good Burger 2’ Set at Paramount+, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell Returning

25 years later, Keenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell find out whether Kel still loves Orange Soda. -Joel


Lance Reddick, ‘The Wire’ and ‘John Wick’ star, dies at 60

Sad to see such a great and charismatic actor go. Will be missed! -Jon


Jirard The Completionist buys every single Nintendo Wii U and 3DS game from the eshop before it closes

It cost over 23k but he did it in the name of video games archiving. -Brok


Shazam 2 Starts Slow At The Box Office

Over a decade after Marvel started training the audience to only see movies to prep for the next movie, the training paid off. What’s the point in seeing a movie if there is no sequel? Right? Wait…. Something feels off there…. -Bryan


“I’m very ready to move on”: Shazam 2 Director Done With Superhero Movies After WB Deliberately Made Zachary Levi’s $125M Sequel Fail at Box-Office

Well, there you have it – a bite-sized look at the news from yesterday that we here at After the Hype found important. I don’t suppose you have thoughts on any of these stories, do you? Because if you did I would like to recommend you let us know over at our discord. Similarly, if you’ve found some interesting news in the wild that you would like us to share tomorrow, let us know sooner rather than later. This isn’t “Today’s News.” Sheesh.
