If you enjoyed The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and are hoping for sequels, be sure to watch both post-credit scenes! Director Matt Ramos confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that they’re both worth seeing.

Godzilla has been reimagined many times over the years, but most versions share common traits. Typically, he’s depicted as a giant, walking nuclear reactor with incredible healing abilities – even able to recover from being broken down into tiny particles. However, even classic Godzilla has limitations. He’s relatively slow and not very intelligent, and his destructive power, while immense, is limited to planetary and black hole-level threats. Complete atomic vaporization is one thing he can’t recover from. While incredibly powerful, a few superheroes are capable of defeating him. This assessment excludes crossover comic books, which often change characters’ powers for the sake of the story.

We’ve recently seen several beloved anime series return, and that trend continues with some less famous titles getting a second chance. Psyren, created by Toshiaki Iwashiro, originally ran for over 100 chapters but was canceled because of falling sales. Now, the series is being revived as a new anime, scheduled to premiere in October 2026 during AnimeJapan 2026. You can see a first look at the updated visuals below.

Next month, Plex will add several popular and critically acclaimed films, including The Hurt Locker, The King’s Speech, and Winter’s Bone, along with favorites like Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Jackie Brown. You can find the complete list of new additions for April 1st, and see what titles will be removed next month, on the Plex website.

Sony’s recent price increase for PlayStation consoles was largely expected, given the ongoing and significant rise in the cost of memory and storage – key parts for the hardware. According to one expert who spoke with Eurogamer, Sony likely had agreements in place to lock in component prices for a certain time, and those protections have probably now expired.

Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, adapted from Ernest Cline’s popular novel, doesn’t quite fit neatly into the same category as those other movies. While most of them are fantasy, Ready Player One is science fiction. Plus, although the book is often considered young adult fiction, its nostalgic themes and references actually resonate more with adults. The movie, which came out eight years ago, has a similar appeal.

I really wanted to enjoy Pokopia – you always hope a $70 game will be good! But it surprised me with how much I actually loved it, mostly because it does some really clever and fresh things with the traditional Pokémon formula. That’s why I can see why so many people think it’s the best Pokémon game ever. Honestly, I hope the main series takes some inspiration from Pokopia because it’s clear they could really use it.

Before its official release on April 17th, the film Normal has received positive reviews, earning an 85% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a slightly higher score than the first Nobody film (83%) and better than Nobody 2 (76%). While critics seem to like Normal, it’s worth noting that both Nobody movies were also very popular with audiences, receiving scores of 94% and 88% respectively. We’ll have to wait until Normal is released in theaters to see what audiences think of it.

When he released Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane, both films gained dedicated fans over time – Cloverfield in particular. However, as March ends, those loyal fans are receiving some unwelcome news.
