As a huge movie fan, especially when it comes to shark thrillers, I have to tell you about Dangerous Animals. It’s quickly become one of my favorites! Directed by Sean Byrne and starring Jai Courtney, it’s seriously good – critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 87% ‘Certified Fresh’ rating, based on over 180 reviews, and audiences seem to love it too, with a 74% rating. It’s one of the best shark movies I’ve seen since Jaws, and honestly, it needs a sequel – though sadly, there’s no news about one yet. It landed on Hulu on March 28th, and it’s a really unique blend of a shark movie and a serial killer thriller. The story revolves around a surfer who gets kidnapped by a truly twisted boat captain. This guy runs an Australian shark-diving business, but it’s all a front for trapping tourists and… well, feeding them to the sharks. It’s dark, it’s thrilling, and it’s definitely a must-watch!

According to Nate the Hate, a trusted source in the gaming industry, Square Enix has stopped working on the remake of Final Fantasy IX. We first learned about this remake in 2024, and it was initially described as smaller in scope than the Final Fantasy 7 remake. However, even a ‘modest’ remake is a significant undertaking, as rebuilding older games is both expensive and challenging.

For a while, seasons three and four of Kenan & Kel were unavailable on Paramount+. While the first two seasons remained on the streaming service, it was unclear why the later seasons were missing. Thankfully, all four seasons of the popular Nickelodeon show will be available on Paramount+ starting next month. On April 29th, the missing seasons will be added, making the entire series accessible on the platform for the first time in years. Plus, Kenan Mitchell and Kel Thompson are planning a reunion project, though it will be a different kind of show than the original live-action series.

The FX series The Americans, which first aired in 2013, starred Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys as Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings. They played Soviet KGB spies who lived undercover as a married American couple in the Washington, D.C. area, specifically Falls Church. The show followed not only their espionage activities but also the challenges of raising their children in America. Created by Joe Weisberg, The Americans ran for six seasons, concluding in 2018. Due to the show’s popularity, a remake is now in development for Disney+.

While all three actresses are famous, Emma Watson could be considered the biggest star. Although she hasn’t done a lot of projects since Harry Potter, the ones she’s been in have generally been very well-received. However, one film, Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, really split audiences – it caused much more disagreement than something like The Bling Ring.

Called Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, this series has a lot to live up to with such a dramatic title – and so far, it’s delivering. While the plot has a few confusing parts, critics are enjoying it more than general viewers. The story follows Rachel (Camila Morrone) as she gets increasingly anxious leading up to her wedding, especially during the final week. The strong performances from the cast, including Jennifer Jason Leigh and Adam DiMarco, really build the tension and create a creeping sense of horror.

A well-known Nintendo insider, Nate the Hate, recently revealed details about Nintendo’s game plans for 2026 and 2027. Interestingly, someone anonymously shared the same information several days earlier. Nate the Hate added some specific details, but those were also present in the original anonymous post. This strong overlap has sparked a lot of discussion among Nintendo fans. They’re especially excited about something the anonymous leaker mentioned that Nate the Hate didn’t: a remake of Super Metroid for the next Nintendo console, the Switch 2, which is reportedly coming out “soon.”

The first season of the anime Sentenced to Be a Hero recently finished airing, but fans can rejoice – a second season has been confirmed! The announcement was made at AnimeJapan 2026, and Crunchyroll will stream the new season when it’s released. You can find a sneak peek at Season 2 below.

The release of Pokemon Pokopia as a Switch 2 exclusive felt like a turning point. However, Nintendo Switch owners will get at least one more Pokemon game before the console is superseded. Pokemon Champions, a new battle simulator for both consoles and mobile devices, will launch on the Nintendo Switch on April 8th. A key detail that hasn’t received much attention is that the game won’t just work on the Switch 2 – it will also get a special, enhanced version designed for the new console. Similar to Legends: Z-A, Pokemon Champions will take advantage of the Switch 2’s improved capabilities, offering a better gaming experience.

As a longtime X-Men fan, it really bothers me how unfairly the 2010s are remembered. People tend to think it was a terrible decade for the team and all their mutant friends, and honestly, it really was rough! Looking back, it feels like seven major missteps almost destroyed everything we love about the X-Men, and it all stemmed from Marvel not having the rights to make their own movies back then.
