Whew. I think my body has finally recovered from Oscars weekend. What a fantastic whirlwind, with some historic moments and just the right amount of drama. Definitely check out our Apple News exclusive Oscars issue and cover (featuring Michael B. Jordan's big win) for all the stuff you didn't see on the telecast. And speaking of covers, also give our *The Madison* story a read for Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell's take on the heartbreaking developments of their Taylor Sheridan drama. —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*****

Project Hail Mary

Ryan Gosling in 'Project Hail Mary'.
Amazon MGM Studios
Ryan Gosling shoots for the stars in this sci-fi epic that combines the awesome scale of space thrillers like *Interstellar* with the heart and playfulness of more family-friendly genre classics like *E.T.* Based on the best-selling book by *The Martian* author Andy Weir, and directed by Oscar winners Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Gosling stars as Dr. Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who becomes a reluctant astronaut when it’s discovered that alien microorganisms are feasting on our sun. To find a cure, he’s sent deep into space on a desperate mission, and encounters an unlikely ally fighting to save his own world. —*Mike Miller, Executive Editor*
Ryan Gosling's *Project Hail Mary* crew made him a 'mop friend' named Moppy Ringwald amid lonely 100-day shoot**
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

Ready or not, Samara Weaving returns as blood-caked bride Grace, who can't even finish her cigarette on the steps of her Satanic in-laws' burning mansion before she's forced back into her own personal Hunger Games. But this time she's got company: Kathryn Newton's often scene-stealing sister Faith. —*Nick Romano, Senior Editor*

Yes, they did it again. The *Jury Duty* team orchestrated an elaborate prank on another unsuspecting person — but this time, it's set at a company retreat for a fake company. Streaming on Prime Video, season 2 of the comedy series is just as addictive to watch. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*
How *Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat* went 'much bigger in scope' for season 2 (exclusive)**
Death Cab for Cutie’s ‘Riptides’

Death Cab's new single, which just dropped ahead of an 11th studio album in June, harks back to the band's early 2000s sound and includes relatable lyrics ("I'm too tired to talk"). Indie rock really is coming back! —*T.K.*
Ulster American

Geraldine Hughes, Matthew Broderick, and Max Baker in Irish Rep's 2026 production of 'Ulster American'.
David Ireland's dark comedy — about an American actor (Matthew Broderick) wanting to star in an Irish play that may or may not actually be Irish — makes its U.S. debut at NYC's Irish Rep. You won't believe the shocking words coming out of the actors' mouths, or the laughter coming out of your own. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*
