HOPPER STONE/NETFLIX

The NCAA basketball tournaments have ended, and in April Netflix is adding to its slew of original content. One highlight this week is the super-powered movie Thunder Force with Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer, and a new anime, The Way of the Househusband, about a former yakuza who now applies his skills to domestic tasks. For movie fans, there's a new release of Tremors in 4K, while gamers can plug into a new Oddworld game, or a version of Star Wars: Republic Commando for PS4 and Switch.
