    Maxxxine and friends.

    A24 just announced the cast for Maxxxine — the third title in Ti West’s slasher franchise, following last year’s Pearl — and it’s pretty wild. The ‘80s-themed horror flick will star Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, and Lily Collins alongside lead Mia Goth.

    It’ll probably be a while before we see anything like a trailer, though — production is just kicking off this month.

    No Man’s Sky keeps getting bigger.

    The game just got a major update that added PSVR 2 support, and now another batch of free content available starting today. It’s called Interceptor, and it includes things like corrupted Sentinel planets to explore new “robotic guardians” to contend with. Check out the trailer for all the details.

    The live-action Super Mario Bros. movie is even weirder than I remembered

    Nintendo’s first stab at a Super Mario movie was a strange and oh-so-’90s time capsule, a far cry from the safe new animated feature releasing in 2023.

    Apple decants its latest thriller.

    I didn’t know I needed to watch a tense thriller about the high-stakes world of wine tasting until I saw this new trailer for Drops of God, which starts streaming on Apple TV Plus on April 21st. The trailer has earthy notes, and looks like it might end with a bitter aftertaste.

    Legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto has died at age 71.

    Summing up Sakamoto’s long career seems impossible; he was a force in electronic music, classical, soundtracks, and was constantly experimenting with new sounds. His improvisational style and varied interests made him hard to classify, but even if you don’t know the name, there’s a good chance you’ve heard his work.

    In a statement about his death, Sakamoto’s record label included one of his favorite quotes: “ars longa vita brevis.” Translated it means “art is long, life is short.”
