  <description>April Fools!  Hope Everyone enjoyed their joke filled holiday! This Week we have a Kaiju filled review for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, plus more layoffs hit the gaming industry, in what feels like a death march towards self implosion. Also Xbox wants to bring AI to your support page, and Saber Interactive assures us the KoToR remake is "alive and well". Also WarnerBros wants to poison us with another Matrix movie, Christopher Nolan becomes a Sir and  Sam Raimi is practically begging for The Secret Wars directing job. Plus a hell of a lot more!
