When it comes to classic coming-of-age movies, The Sandlot is often considered one of the best. It was released during a popular era for both these types of films and baseball movies in general, alongside hits like Major League, The Mighty Ducks, and A League of Their Own. But The Sandlot stood out because it focused on everyday kids, their passion for baseball, and the funny trouble they found themselves in. Its simple story is what makes it so special, and it remains a fan favorite. If you want to watch it on Netflix, you’ll need to hurry – it’s leaving the platform on March 13th.

Throughout the movie, the story keeps hinting at Stu’s return, showing him video-calling Sidney and threatening future targets. Scream 7 finally reveals the truth: it wasn’t actually Stu, but an AI imitating him. As far as we know, the real Stu has been dead all along. While this wasn’t a huge shock, it feels like a wasted opportunity – Stu’s return could have had a more meaningful purpose.

However, for developer Ember Lab, the launch will likely represent quite a bit more.

Here is an overview of the game, via Milestone S.r.l.:

Even now, many fans consider the show a science fiction masterpiece of the 21st century. Though it continued briefly with the movie Serenity and in comic books, people have long hoped for a full revival. Could that finally be happening? Recent posts on Instagram from the podcast Once We Were Spacemen, hosted by stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk, show Fillion visiting other cast members from the show – Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, and Jewel Staite. In the videos, he simply tells them, “it’s time,” leaving fans to wonder what that means.

Next month, the pirate adventure series Black Sails—a fantastic, though often overlooked, show from Starz—will no longer be available on Netflix. A prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the show originally aired from 2014 to 2017 and many consider it the best pirate series since Pirates of the Caribbean. While its popularity has grown over the last ten years, it still doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. You’ll have until April 16th to watch it on the streaming service.

GungHo Online Entertainment and Grasshopper Manufacture have announced that the online game Let It Die will no longer be available after August 31st. This affects players on both PlayStation and PC, as the free-to-play hack-and-slash game was released on both platforms. While it wasn’t available on any other consoles, including the PS5, it is playable on PS5 through backward compatibility.

According to a LinkedIn post from CEO Mark Gerhard, the company is laying off an unspecified number of employees due to the game’s poor performance after its launch last year.

Here are the details:

You earn account levels just by playing the game. Each match gives you XP, and leveling up unlocks a skill point you can use to improve your character. Accounts start at level 0 and can reach a maximum of level 100. The first level gives you five skill points, then each level after that gives you one, up to level 40. This means you can earn a total of 44 skill points. These points can be spent in one of four skill branches: Raider, Treasure Hunter, Harvester, and Protector.
