Looking back at how well Sonic’s been holding up with his movies and games as of recently, it felt criminal to not give the same sentiment to his Nintendo “rival”, Mario. The Super Mario Bros Movie of 2023 was an exclusive ‘by-the-fans, fo... Read the full review »

While "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" isn't breaking new ground as this year's first standout film, at least it handily outclasses "Mercy" in the increasingly crowded "AI-turns-nightmarish" subgenre. There’s something very Looney Tunes about... Read the full review »
