The mystery movie Clue, released in 1985, is a truly unique film and a cornerstone of the genre. Based on the classic board game, it boasts a fantastic cast including Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and Tim Curry. What’s really unusual is that when it first came out, theaters were given one of three different endings at random, meaning audiences saw different versions of the movie. Though it wasn’t a box office success initially, Clue has since gained a devoted following and is now considered a cult classic and a benchmark for mystery films. Later home video releases would allow viewers to see all three endings.

Kingpin, as portrayed in Born Again, poses one of the greatest challenges the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever seen for its heroes. He’s determined to eliminate all vigilantes. Though heroes like Daredevil and Jessica Jones are resisting, it’s surprising that more aren’t helping, considering how many operate in New York City. But given the current state of the MCU, the Avengers’ absence actually fits the narrative.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a refreshed version of a 2014 action game originally released for PlayStation 3 and 4. It became available on current consoles in 2023, and later on other platforms, bringing the experience to a wider audience. Set in 19th-century Japan during the late Edo period, the game puts you in the role of Sakamoto Ryōma, a historical samurai who helped shape the country. The story revolves around a plot to overthrow the government, and you’ll need to track down a mysterious assassin. It’s a beautifully crafted and detailed game that authentically captures the era with respect and artistry.

It’s been nearly 40 years since the 1980s, and the world of comics has evolved a lot since then. While not every comic from that decade still holds up, some have actually improved with time. These seven stories from DC Comics, originally published in the ’80s, are prime examples – they remain some of the best comics ever made.

The video doesn’t show much of the gameplay, but it does offer a glimpse of the team at Grit Games who are developing WRC 2027. We see 12 team members excited to start a new night race.

Nintendo announced price increases for several of its products and services on May 8th, citing changing market conditions. This includes a price hike for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, as well as for the original Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Online in some areas. While no one likes price increases, they’re relatively modest compared to the rising costs of other modern gaming consoles. Here’s a breakdown of the changes.

We’ll have a more detailed look later, but you can get a first impression of it in the video below.

Outbound was originally supposed to come out last month, but the release was delayed after players had a lukewarm reaction to a preview version. I’ve played the game both before and after the delay, and it feels like it’s unsure of its own identity. While the basic elements are intriguing and the game looks beautiful, the main gameplay doesn’t successfully blend relaxing and challenging survival elements, and doesn’t fully satisfy fans of either type of game.

So, I was listening to The Ringer-Verse podcast, and Sam Witwer, who played Darth Maul in Solo: A Star Wars Story and Obi-Wan Kenobi, was talking about why Vader always had the upper hand against Maul. He basically laid out his thoughts on how the fight always went Vader’s way, and here’s what he said:

We share the same enthusiasm for seeing anime brought to life in new ways. With many live-action adaptations already announced, the future looks bright!
