Godzilla didn’t earn the title King of the Monsters by knocking down buildings and stomping on tanks. No, ma’am, Godzilla fought his way to the top. The guy has taken down three-headed dragons, giant robots and even King Kong. He’s not just king of the monsters, he’s king of the movies.
So as we prepare for the release of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, let’s take a look at the best of the best of Godzilla fights…

One of the hottest items online right now is the Marvel Legends Series Avengers Endgame Power Gauntlet. Since it went up for preorder, it already sold-out at Walmart and GameStop.
Amazon remains the only major player in the game to have a steady, uninterrupted supply of preorders. The only hiccup so far is the original August 19 release date listed on the Amazon page changed to October 31. Some people who already preordered got emails from Amazon telling them their orders wouldn’t arrive until November 4. Geez, take forever!

In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo Ren and Rey’s connection will reportedly “run even deeper than we thought,” as they are “uniquely suited to understand each other, but at the same time they are in every way each other’s inverse.”
In Vanity Fair’s “ultimate preview” of Episode IX, following the reveal that the Knights of Ren will be returning in The Rise of Skywalker, Adam Driver began discussing Kylo Ren’s relationship with Rey and where their connection lies following the events of The Last Jedi.
Sony confirmed that the biggest PlayStation 4 exclusives will still be coming to the current-generation console, but didn’t specifically rule out them appearing on PlayStation 5.
During a Sony Investor Relations Day 2019 presentation, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan spoke over a slide including key art for The Last of Us Part II, Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima that focused on the critical role of PS4 over the next few years.
It’s almost June, and that means a wave of new content is coming to Netflix in the upcoming month. From movies that hit theaters earlier in the year to brand-new Netflix originals, there is plenty of content coming to the service next month.
The final season of any Netflix/Marvel joint venture hits the streaming service in the upcoming month. Season 3 of Jessica Jones is set to debut on Netflix sometime in June. However, no specific release date has been announced. There will be no more Marvel TV series on Netflix, as Marvel is moving its properties to the new streaming service, Disney+ later this year.
The most-anticipated release this month is Season 5 of Black Mirror on June 5. The last release of the series, a choose your own adventure-style episode called Bandersnatch, actually delayed Season 5 of the hit show. This season will only contain three episodes,–Striking Vipers, Smithereens, and Rachel, Jack And Ashley, Too–but it’s looking like it will be an exciting one–also, super-depressing.
As usual, there are plenty of movies coming to the service in June, including Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, which arrive on June 1. And while Disney is pulling its content this fall, there are still a few things coming, like on June 15 when Ralph Breaks the Internet arrives.
But Netflix is also giving content the boot in June, so you have a limited amount of time to watch some movies. On June 1, Stargate, Doom, and the Kill Bill movies exit Netflix, so watch them before they leave. On June 5, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 leaves, so it’ll be your last chance to check that one out as well.
Below, you’ll find the full list of everything coming and going from Netflix in June. For more on streaming services, check out the June releases list for Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
It’s more than two years since Netflix first announced development of a new show based on the classic ’80s fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, and we finally know when it will be with us. The streaming giant has confirmed that Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will hit the service on August 30, and a new batch of images has been released.
The images will be instantly recognisable to anyone who has seen the 1982 film, which was written and co-directed by Muppets creator Jim Henson. Director Louis Leterrier told Entertainment Weekly that he was determined to use puppetry to create and animate the characters, rather than the CG you might expect in 2019. The results look very impressive–check them out below.
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will run for 10 episodes. It has a hugely impressive voicecast, which includes Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Jo, Nathalie Emmanuel, Mark Hamill, Jason Isaacs, Keegan-Michael Key, Simon Pegg, Andy Samberg, Helena Bonham Carter, Natalie Dormer, Eddie Izzard, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mark Strong, and Alicia Vikander.
The official synopsis for the show reads: “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance returns to the world of Thra with an all new adventure: When three Gelfling discover the secret behind the Skeksis’ power, they embark on a journey to ignite the fires of rebellion and save the entire world.”
The original movie was released in December 1982. It was only moderately successful at the time, but was praised by critics and has gone on to gain a cult following. For more on 2019’s big upcoming TV shows, check out GameSpot’s guide to the biggest TV shows to watch in 2019.
Death metal anime Aggretsuko has had a full year to rest its vocal cords and seems to be ready to make a return. According to Netflix, the series’ second season launches on the streaming platform on June 14, which is the day after E3 2019–the perfect way to unwind from all the excitement of the show.
The news comes via a Twitter exchange between Japanese design company Sanrio (most known for Hello Kitty) and Aggretsuko. The back-and-forth banter concludes with Netflix’s NX Twitter account providing the release date announcement and a couple of screens from the new season.
You can check out a teaser, which was released in June 2018, below.
Aggretsuko follows Retsuko, a 25-year-old anthropomorphic red panda who’s stuck working at an accounting firm. The company is her dream, but the work and coworkers are her nightmares. In order to maintain some semblance of sanity, Retsuko goes to a karaoke bar in which all she sings–ahem, screams–is death metal.
In a feature article, our reviews editor Kallie Plagge called Aggretsuko one of the best anime’s of last year, saying, “It offers lessons in coping for when you feel powerless against everything wrong in your life.”
Fallout 76‘s latest patch, Wild Appalachia, is finally out for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The patch, approximately 5.5GB on console and a little under 9GB on PC, adds a new Project Paradise event, addresses various bugs regarding C.A.M.P. and challenges, and improves game performance.
The headlining feature of the patch is the introduction of the Project Paradise event. Players will team up with Arktos Pharma to explore labs underneath the building. Traveling to the labs and participating in experiments will result in new loot and experience. But be warned: enemies encountered will be level 50+, so players are encouraged to explore above ground before going below.
Elsewhere, the Wild Appalachia patch addresses a number of bug fixes and performance issues with regards to C.A.M.P., challenges, items, and quests. Two big fixes center around infinite loading after accessing Player Vending Machines and frequent PC crashes. This patch should eliminate both occurrences, effectively stabilizing gameplay.
Fallout 76’s last patch, Ever Upwards, landed earlier this month. The patch let players carry more out into the world with the introduction of backpacks and allowed those brave enough to join the Pioneer Scouts. You can check out the full patch notes for Wild Appalachia below.

We aren’t getting another Until Dawn, but developer Supermassive Games’ next horror title, The Dark Pictures – Man of Medan, has received an official release date. The supernatural horror story will land on August 30 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The Dark Pictures is an anthology series first unveiled at Gamescom 2018. Man of Medan stands as the anthology’s first entry. Pre-orders are now available and doing so secures the Curator’s Cut, which opens up new options including alternative paths, a new perspective from unlocked characters, new choices within each scene, and new scenes and secrets. Accessing the additional content requires a full, completed playthrough.
Those who would rather wait won’t miss out on the content featured in the Curator’s Cut, as publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed that it will all be made available to everyone who owns the game at a later, unspecified date. Check out 10 minutes of gameplay below.
Though Until Dawn was well-received by critics, the Supermassive decided to forgo a sequel to pursue new stories. According to Supermassive CEO and executive producer Pete Samuels, “A lot of [creating the anthology] is about our desire to serve that [Until Dawn] fanbase from our perspective and to serve us ourselves in what we love to do, which is do more stories and characters, and do it more frequently than one or two every few years.”
Game director Tom Heaton echoed the sentiment, saying that creating a sequel puts too many restrictions on storytelling and character interactions. “You’re not tied to historical characters that you have to use,” Heaton said. Producer Dan McDonald followed Heaton’s words, saying, “If we were making sequels, we don’t know who survived. I mean we could probably work it out from your game save, but we don’t want to make a sequel to that. We want to make a different story with different people.”
