Shazam 2 Hitting Digital Platforms, Even Though It’s Still In Theaters
Three weeks after its mid-March theatrical release, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is set to hit digital platforms on April 7. This comes after the sequel to 2019’s Shazam had a disappointing box office performance, so far reportedly bringing in roughly $120 million worldwide–or barely breaking even, per Box Office Mojo data.
The new film sees Asher Angel’s Billy Batson transform into Zachary Levi’s superhero alter ego, Shazam, to take on the daughters of Atlas, played by Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren, and Rachel Zegler. The digital release will include both rental and purchase options, with a rental costing $20 for a 48-hour viewing window and a purchase costing $25 for premium digital ownership. The physical copy release date is expected to be on May 23.

According to Comicbook.com, special features on the digital and Blu-ray versions of the film include an audio commentary from director David F. Sandberg, deleted scenes, scene breakdowns, and featurettes on the film’s biggest sequences. Some of the featurettes include “The Rock of Eternity: Decked Out,” “The Mythology of Shazam!” and “The Zac Effect.” The latter will likely be of interest to fans of the franchise, as it promises to delve deeper into Levi’s role as the titular character.
One of 2023’s best games is already being forgotten – even though it’s on Game Pass

It’s been a really good start to the year, huh? For a while now, the first quarter of the calendar year has been as packed out and quality-filled as the holiday period, but in the age of service games and evolving titles, even the biggest and best games are at risk of releasing directly into consumer quicksand. We’ve had Metacritic-topping titles like Dead Space remake, Octopath Traveler 2, Like a Dragon: Ishin, and Wild Hearts (that everyone else seemed to like except me, apparently).
But there’s one game, perhaps my favourite of the year so far, that’s already starting to be forgotten about. I suppose, when you have a new Destiny expansion and one of the biggest beta tests the industry has seen in years drop around the same time, that’s bound to happen, isn’t it? But this game came to Game Pass and everything, so you’d think it’d have more staying power – alas, that’s the curse of having so much choice: people will often just go pick other things.
I’m talking, of course, about Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The latest hardcore action game from the sadists behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, the game found much love amongst early adopters and critics, quickly rising to the top of the gameplay charts on Xbox and becoming something of a talking point amongst people on social media. At launch, the internet was abuzz with chatter about this game – and as a long-time Nioh diehard, I loved it! Finally, because of Game Pass, people were giving this odd little ‘masocore’ series a go; the Nioh series was no longer locked behind a £30+ collection on the PS4/PS5!
Why is Sons Of The Forest exactly like an early-00s b-movie thriller, though?

“Have a go of Sons Of The Forest,” my compatriots at RPS told me. “It’s a great new survival game, with cannibals who live on an island!” And I was like, “wait, so until you turned up to they just eat each other? How do they have a sustainable population? What’s going on here?”
Thus, in a spirit of pure scientific enquiry, I booted up Sons Of The Forest and immediately discovered that everyone has been lying to me, because Sons Of The Forest is not a survival game. Sons Of The Forest is very clearly an early 00s b-movie action thriller. The script was left in a filing cabinet in Slough in an empty office until the office was repurposed into a call centre, at which point it was found by a middle-manager whose paintball team thought it was awesome, and somehow he sent it to a game developer by mistake. This is what happened, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I’m a ‘hot mom’ – I’m constantly mistaken for my daughter’s sister even though I’m 20 years older than her
ONE hot mom is 20 years older than her teenage kid, but people never think so.
The brunette woman gets mistaken for her daughter’s sister constantly.

Social media mom Brittany Xavier (@brittanyxavier) posted a video to disclose the comments she gets when she’s out with her daughter.
She and her daughter stood side-by-side in bright green outfits.
Brittany donned a floral strappy dress, while her daughter wore a graphic tank top and jeans.
“Questions we get asked together in public,” the caption read.
The first one asked: “Are you guys sisters?”
“No, mom and daughter,” Brittany responded.
Commenters inquire about their age gap next.
Lastly, people will question their heights as both look to be about the same.
In actuality, Britanny is two inches taller than her child.
She is 5’10”, and her daughter is 5’8″.
Viewers were shocked to see the two next to one another.
Over 2,100 YouTube user commented on their appearances.
One amazed individual asked: “No one’s gonna talk about how much her mom looks like Dua Lipa?”
“They’re a cute mom and daughter, but no one is out here asking if they’re siblings,” a skeptic remarked.
Another person added: “The mom just looks young, and the daughter looks really mature for her age.”
“The people that ask that are just hitting on you. They know damn well you are the mother,” a viewer noted.
