A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) from Embargo Lifts For indicates that reviews for The Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel will be released on Tuesday, March 31st. This is only one day before the film opens in theaters on Wednesday, April 1st. The delay in sharing early reactions had led to some speculation that Nintendo and Universal might not be entirely confident in the movie’s box office performance.

Originally, the story of Big Little Lies was planned as a movie starring and produced by Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman. But early in development, it changed direction and became a limited series. David E. Kelley, a well-known TV writer and producer, was brought on as the creator, and the show quickly attracted a talented cast of award-winning and popular actors.

The second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is currently airing and proving to be a hit, consistently ranking high on streaming charts. New episodes are released weekly on Crunchyroll, and fans are once again captivated by this popular fantasy series. Currently, Frieren is the third most-watched show on the platform. However, it’s facing strong competition this season from the latest season of Jujutsu Kaisen, which is in first place, and Hell’s Paradise in second. These two shows, along with Chainsaw Man, make up what fans are calling the ‘Dark Shōnen Trilogy’.

The trailer for Dune: Part Three was released on Tuesday, March 17th, and immediately sparked discussion. It confirmed that the film will be competing with Avengers: Doomsday when both are released on December 18th.

The show remains popular because of a perfect combination of factors, and the fact that so many people have a different favorite quote proves how well it was written. What’s particularly impressive is that those memorable lines come from a wide range of characters, not just a few.

As a big fan of the Bosch universe, I’ve been really enjoying how Maggie Q has stepped into the lead role as Ballard now that Titus Welliver’s Harry Bosch is taking things a bit easier. And the news just keeps getting better! Not only will Welliver be back for season two alongside Q, but Benjamin Bratt is finally joining the franchise – I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table!

Crimson Desert aims high, and it includes all the features it promised. However, most of those features aren’t fully developed, leaving the game feeling fragmented. It doesn’t quite come together as the immersive, open-world RPG many players were hoping for.

So, I was listening to Sarah Michelle Gellar on SiriusXM with Evan Real, and she talked about the possibility of the Buffy pilot leaking. She really hopes it doesn’t, and she explained why. Basically, she said that pilot wasn’t a finished product and wouldn’t have been what the final show on Hulu would’ve looked like. It was still being worked on, and she emphasized that it would have gone through a lot of changes with rewrites and reshoots. It’s good to know they were still figuring things out, even at that stage!

Black Mirror started as a show on Channel 4, with the British network ordering two seasons between 2011 and 2014. Following the positive reception of Charlie Brooker’s earlier series, Dead Set, Black Mirror quickly became another well-regarded show for Channel 4.

The Emmy-winning actor stars as Ulysses, a man temporarily appointed sheriff in a small Midwestern town after the previous sheriff dies. He’s initially relieved by the town’s peaceful atmosphere, especially since he’s dealing with marital problems and a difficult past job. But his quiet start is disrupted when a bank robbery reveals a hidden criminal network operating beneath the surface of Normal.
