For years, movies about marijuana use have gone through periods of popularity and decline, almost disappearing recently. But the 2026 Hulu comedy Pizza Movie, featuring Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things and Sean Giambrone from The Goldbergs, proved the genre still has a dedicated audience. Created by the popular YouTube comedy duo BriTANicK, the film centers on two hapless college roommates who experience increasingly wild hallucinations after accidentally taking drugs. Their desperate search for pizza to cure their condition drives the film’s lighthearted and funny plot.

Okay, so Gameloft and Old Skull Games are dropping this new game on May 28th. It’s basically a super silly, over-the-top take on tennis – think power-ups, crazy extras, and just general mayhem. It’s not a super serious tennis sim, let’s put it that way!

So, I was checking social media and saw someone ask Nate the Hate – you know, the guy who’s usually right about PlayStation stuff – if there’d be another State of Play in June. He said it’s looking like it’ll happen way before then! He even mentioned April 16th as a possible date, but stressed it’s not confirmed. If it does happen next week, he thinks it’ll mostly be about games from other developers coming to the PS5.

When the trailer for Daredevil: Born Again showed Jessica Jones has a daughter, a Reddit user playfully suggested the child might be taken by Doctor Doom, sparking a discussion about the character’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is relevant because in the comics, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage have a daughter named Danielle, who gains superpowers and eventually becomes Captain America.

The manga Black Clover is coming back for a final arc, called “Super Climax,” in Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine this May. While updates have been announced before over the past year, this one feels like the true ending. With a new season of the anime planned for later this year and further updates scheduled for Spring 2026, this new edition could very well be the final chapter of the Black Clover manga.

A few years ago, games like The Last of Us, God of War, and Telltale’s The Walking Dead became popular for a similar reason – they all featured an older, paternal character guiding a younger child. The relationship between the characters in the upcoming game Pragmata reminds many of this trend. Hopefully, Pragmata will not only evoke the same emotions as those beloved games but also bring back one of the most enjoyable styles in gaming history.

Pokemon Champions primarily focuses on player-versus-player (PvP) battles, with limited single-player content beyond a short tutorial. The game offers various battle modes like Ranked, Casual, Private, and Online, all connecting players in real-time competition. Many players believe the game uses AI opponents (bots) to match players after a series of losses, similar to how Pokemon TCG Pocket and Pokemon Unite handle matchmaking.

The next State of Play is coming soon, apparently. Well, how does next week suit you?

While many older movies and TV shows are still enjoyable today, some video games really deserve a remake. This isn’t about disliking the originals – many were fantastic in their time! – but because either they’re hard to play now due to outdated technology or simply because modern advancements could make them even better. These games could truly benefit from a fresh update.

I’m so excited to hear that The Handmaid’s Tale is coming to Netflix! As a big fan, I’ve been following June Osborne’s incredible, and often heartbreaking, fight against Gilead for years. It’s amazing that all six seasons – all 66 episodes! – will be available in parts of Europe and Latin America starting May 5th or 6th. It’s especially cool since the sequel, The Testaments, just finished airing. For those who don’t know, the show is based on Margaret Atwood’s book and it’s set in a really scary future where the U.S. has become a totalitarian state called Gilead. In this world, women have lost all their rights, and those who can still have children are forced to become Handmaids, basically servants forced to have babies for the powerful elite. I can’t wait for more people to discover this powerful story!
