This March on HBO Max, the rubber hits the road on a pair of movies you've likely been hearing about and following for quite a while. You probably don't even need us to say this, but the next month brings both Zack Snyder's Justice League and Godzilla Vs. Kong. There are, of course, other bright spots worth designating as appointment television as well--let's get into it.
To work our way backwards through next month, on March 31, the highly anticipated monster movie will hit the streaming platform. The movie is also hitting theaters, but for those who are still observing quarantine HBO Max is obviously the preferable way to catch it. We'd tell you the movie's plot so you have an idea of what to expect, but what's to know? It's freakin' King Kong and Godzilla beating on each other. This is the fourth movie in MonsterVerse, following Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019).
What you may need a little bit of a refresher on, however, is Zack Snyder's Justice League, which comes to HBO Max on March 18. It's been many, many years since Snyder had to step away from his version of the film before Joss Whedon stepped in to take over--which means it's also been many, many years of fans on the internet asking for Snyder's version to see the light of day. Well, Snyder has made no secret of the fact that he is getting his way--a recent interview clocked . But what's gotten lost in the mix a bit is what the heck this movie is about. Its official synopsis: "Determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions."
Then, on March 11, South Park returns with a vaccination special titled South ParQ Vaccination Special--it's another hour-long episode about recent events, and a companion piece . As with the previous special, this episode exists as a standalone bit of content that is not part of Season 24--which has yet to be announced.
You can also check out what Disney+, Hulu, and Shudder have in store next month.
