Erick Massoto is a Brazilian writer who's always loved film and TV and loves finding connections between them. That's why he supports double features, especially if they are of a modern film paired with a much older one, to remind people that no movie exists without context.
With an equal love for blockbusters and indie movies, he'll often rant about stuff like how Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy failed Mary Jane Watson and review and praise movies like Mountains and Enys Men even if no one will hear it.
He dedicates a good portion of his time to writing about anime, which was a big part of his childhood growing up. Since the Japanese series are becoming more and more popular, it's a great time to be a fan of anime and, yes, you should at least be watching Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Apothecary Diaries.
Going to movie theaters is his equivalent to going to church, which is why he doesn't like it when people don't respect each other's experiences. That's why he'll select the easiest screening possible — even if it means watching a movie after the hype has died down.

Get your Vault Boy bobblehead at the ready because the new trailer for Fallout is here! Prime Video released today an extended trailer for the highly anticipated series that provides a better outline of the dynamics we can expect to see next month. The streamer also announced that, contrary to its usual model for big titles, the series will be released in binge format—meaning all episodes will be available all at once on April 11.
The trailer kicks off inside the vault and reveals the utopic-style life of vault dwellers explained in a PSA video. All of that, of course, before venturing into the outside world and revealing the apocalyptic reality that is pretty harsh for Lucy (Ella Purnell) to deal with. From deadly robots to inconvenient old ladies, she'll see a bit of everything and try to survive in the Wasteland.
There's also plenty of room in the trailer to showcase fan-favorite character The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), who will join Lucy in her journey and teach her a thing or two about surviving in a harsh environment. The new trailer is a slight departure from the previous one, which stressed that there would be plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in the series. In this one, however, the tone is more serious and suggests there will be a good balance between humor and drama in the series. If it's handled well, it could make for one of the year's most appreciated titles—and that's saying something with new seasons of The Boys and House of the Dragon coming down the line.
'Fallout' Gears up to Be One of 2024's Top Titles
It's also worth noticing that Fallout fully reflects the production values that we've come to expect from Prime Video titles. From the standout costume designs to robot armor built for real and stunning visual effects, it seems like there will always be something to look at throughout the episodes. For fans of the video game series, the bonus element of the narrative is that it will be a new story within the universe they already know and love, so even hardcore Fallout players will have a chance of being surprised by twists and turns that might come.
Fallout is produced and directed by Jonathan Nolan, whose name is already associated with top-tier sci-fi stories after he created acclaimed series like Person of Interest and Westworld. Should the new series become as popular as the video game that inspired it, there will be a lot more ground to cover—as series showrunner Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) told Collider, they "barely scratched the surface" with Season 1.
Prime Video debuts all episodes from Season 1 of Fallout on April 11. Check out the trailer above.
