Doug Leibowitz, a middle school drama teacher, often wonders what Eugene O’Neill would think of his life. Doug dreamed of being a successful playwright, but his career never took off. Now, he’s dealing with a recent breakup from Abigail Morris, the art teacher he was supposed to work with on the school’s production of West Side Story. When he discovers Abigail is now dating the principal, Mr. Brady, Doug decides to get back at them by dramatically changing the play to a bizarre musical he’s written about the events of 9/11.

The sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, titled The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, comes out on April 1st. While I was confident it would do well, I didn’t think it would match the incredible success of the first film. Reaching $1 billion in box office revenue is difficult now, and this movie didn’t have the same initial hype as the original Mario film. I predicted Galaxy would be a major hit and one of the year’s biggest, but still wouldn’t quite reach the same heights as its predecessor.

I just finished listening to ‘Out of Darkness: Heavy is the Crown Vol.2,’ and it’s a really captivating dive into historical events. It definitely took me on a journey!

Everyone’s anticipating a huge wave of major game releases in 2026, but before those arrive, it’s a good idea to check out some smaller, independent titles. Steam’s current sale makes that easier than ever.

The first look at Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 on Netflix included new footage and a redesigned logo for the Earth Kingdom. Revealed at the 0:52 mark of the teaser, the logo is a circular, medallion-like design with a central spiral, likely representing the stability and strength of Earthbending. The logo’s bright green color strongly connects to the character Toph and her abilities.

Viewers watched the character develop remarkably quickly last season, going from baby to child in a short time. Season 4 promises another big change, as the character continues to evolve and grow up.

Worldbreaker tells the story of a father and daughter struggling to survive after monstrous creatures emerge from underground and destroy much of the world, while their mother fights against the invasion. The story shares similarities with films like A Quiet Place and Logan, and while it effectively conveys emotional depth, it doesn’t quite build enough tension to fully engage the audience.

The movie unfolds in chapters, beginning with Gracie, a young girl who has become silent after her father’s death. The family struggles to connect, both due to their grief and the challenges of different cultures. Gracie’s grandmother, a Chinese immigrant who only speaks Mandarin, tries to help Gracie cope by teaching her traditional prayers for the deceased. Meanwhile, Gracie’s sister, Emily, is Vietnamese and was raised by white parents, adding another layer of disconnection. This fragmented family dynamic is reflected in the film’s storytelling, which shows events repeatedly from various characters’ points of view.

This is the fourth time the character has been portrayed on screen, following previous movies like Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, as well as the film Alex Cross. Aldis Hodge will return to play the role, bringing his own style to the show. Here’s a sneak peek at what viewers can expect in Season 2.

Even though the team-up movies between Godzilla and Kong have done well, fans still want to see individual movies focusing on each monster. Godzilla has a lot of established enemies that could be used in new films, thanks to licensing from Toho. However, Kong has more opportunity for exciting new stories with original monsters like the Skar King or Skull Devil, rather than just pitting him against well-known foes like Gigan, Hedorah, or Titanosaurus.
