Shockingly, Nintendo has decided that it likes having a $1.3 billion grossing movie and would like another. On Mar10 Day, Shigeru Miyamoto graced the internet with the announcement that the company is hard at work on a sequel to the wildly successful Super Mario Bros. movie. But that wasn't the only news we got last week about video game film adaptations, and we're joined by Ben Magnet of the Basement Arcade Pause Menu Podcast to look at a roundup of movie headlines.

We'll also be talking about how Circana's Mat Piscatella has called GTA 6  the most important thing "to ever release in the industry, so no pressure," how Hasbro says Baldur's Gate 3 is "just the first of several new video games" to come, and how former CEO of Activision Blizzard Bobby Kotick is apparently interested in buying TikTok as a new bill in the US threatens to either ban the app or force its sale.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. This week, we're looking at Street Fighter: The Movie, the game.
