Mario and Luigi are drawn deep into space where the rules they know no longer apply.

An astronaut wakes up alone in a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he is there. As fragmented memories slowly return, he pieces together a terrifying reality: he is humanity’s last hope against a planetary crisis, and he is completely alone. Based on Andy Weir’s beloved novel and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, this is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.

The terrifyingly funny horror sequel returns with an assembled cast and the same gleefully unhinged energy as the original. Just when distance from past traumas feels possible, a new high-stakes situation emerges, where survival means navigating hidden rules and shifting goals. Every decision matters, and nothing is as it seems.
The Bad Guys: The Series (Netflix)
Publication date: April 2, 2026

The Korean heavy hit is back! Following the events of the first season, the two boxers-turned-vigilantes find themselves drawn into an even more dangerous criminal underworld. The fight choreography is top notch – perfect for an action-packed Saturday night.

Murdock is back and the moral stakes have never been higher.
