Just like the first movie, the story of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie draws inspiration from several Super Mario games. However, it appears at least two games – in addition to Super Mario Galaxy itself – will be particularly important for the movie’s plot and the characters featured in it.
This March, The Madison is debuting on Paramount+ with only a few episodes, a strategy quite different from the highly anticipated Yellowstone spin-off Marshals, which premiered on CBS. Marshals has over twice as many episodes and will air weekly until the end of May. It raises the question: will audiences prefer the shorter, focused The Madison, or the longer, more consistent run of Marshals?

According to FlixPatrol, John Wick: Chapter 4 rose to the #2 spot on HBO Max’s list of the most popular movies in the U.S. as of March 7, 2026. It had debuted at #3 just two days earlier, on March 5. The only movie performing better at that time was Dead of Winter.

Cyberpunk hasn’t appeared much on TV, mostly because creating a high-quality series is incredibly expensive. Considering a film like Blade Runner 2049 cost over $185 million in 2017, you can imagine how much a modern TV show would cost. Fortunately, companies like Netflix and Apple are investing in the genre, and early results are promising.
As it turned out, Picard was right all along. Starfleet was deceived by a secret group of villains, and the Federation later reversed its unfair ban on artificial lifeforms. Their poor handling of the Romulus disaster caused trouble throughout various timelines in Star Trek. Had Starfleet only heeded Jean-Luc Picard’s warnings, many problems could have been avoided, and he wasn’t the only former captain frustrated by Starfleet’s mistakes. Captains Kirk, Sisko, and countless others likely felt the same way.

Following the success of his biographical drama Heavenly Creatures, which was a departure from his usual horror and comedy work, Peter Jackson tried his hand at a different type of film. Released in 1995, Forgotten Silver was a fake documentary about the rediscovery of lost films by a made-up New Zealand director named Colin McKenzie. While it’s not often talked about now, Forgotten Silver was an important film in Jackson’s early career, and it actually caused quite a bit of controversy when it first came out.
