When even King Kong and Godzilla are scared, you know there’s a problem. That’s the central idea of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which opens March 29: a new threat arises that’ll force the two former foes to team up to save the world. Will We See More of Uhura's Relationship with Spock? | io9 InterviewOf course, there’s more to it too. Picking up where 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong left off, humanity has a cautious pact with the great ape and killer kaiju. And, in Kong’s case, it’s much more than that since they have…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, it’s a good time to be a fan of kaiju films. As Godzilla Minus One continues to make the rounds with its Oscar nomination, the world of 2024 movies is about to get its own unique round of larger than life action. One can clearly see that in the latest trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, as a very angry Godzilla is coming to the aid of Kong, and so is an hysterically charming Dan Stevens.Warner Bros. teased the arrival of the latest footage from director Adam Wingard’s…

I never played the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong, which came out in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance.  So I brought no nostalgia or past experience to the new version coming out this week, which feels thoroughly modern in all ways except the gameplay. Mario is limited — he can’t run quickly, he doesn’t jump very high, you lose a life with a single mistake. Coming from the brand-new Super Mario Bros. Wonder can give you serious whiplash, as there’s no Elephant power or Wonder Stars to be found here. But if you don’t compare…

I’ll admit, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series is one that’s passed me by. While I enjoy 2D platformers a fair bit, and certainly love my Nintendo handhelds of yore, these puzzle-focused adventures were never really on my radar. A remake feels like a natural time to hop on and see what I’ve missed. And to say it up front, it’s a good remake. In watching comparison videos between the old, oddly 3D-ish version on the Game Boy Advance and this new version for the Nintendo Switch, the difference is impressive. I can tell that…

Although Godzilla vs. Kong started off with the two titular Titans coming to blows, by the end of the fourth MonsterVerse movie, they later joined forces to battle a common enemy, Mechagodzilla. For Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, one of the major tentpole releases on the 2024 movies schedule, these gigantic beasts will team up once again, though that’s not to say they’re now on great terms with one another. In fact, their begrudging alliance was inspired by a classic buddy cop movie, and now I’m even more pumped for…

But Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire sees the foes team up—reluctantly—to take on a new threat. The dynamic between them might be unfamiliar based on what we’ve seen in the Monsterverse so far, but movie fans may recognize its origins in... ‘80s buddy-cop movies?Reservation Dogs | First FandomsSpeaking to Empire Magazine, director Adam Wingard (who also made Godzilla vs. Kong) revealed his love of buddy-cop movies…

It's almost time for Mario and Donkey Kong to do battle once again. The remake of the Game Boy Advance classic Mario vs. Donkey releases exclusively for Nintendo Switch on February 16. If you didn't play the original, you should check out the free demo of the remake on the Switch eShop. That said, if Mario vs. Donkey Kong stands the test of time, Switch owners are in for a puzzle-platforming treat. Preorders with release-day delivery are still available at major retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy.…

There’s a David Beckham meme, taken from the recent Netflix Beckham documentary, that’s popular on social media at the moment. You know the one, you’ve seen it a thousand times or more, the one where Beckham harangues Victoria Beckham to “be honest” several times before she finally relents and tells the truth about her privileged upbringing. After this weekend, fans, sponsors and the government of Hong Kong will feel that the meme needs an update, with David switching roles with Victoria, and the…
