The space has been transformed into what feels like a playful fair straight out of the show. Bright colors, whimsical decorations, and Bluey-themed details immediately set the tone.

The set includes 12 toys, most of which are of different characters, but both Mario and get two. Mario gets one in his standard red-and-blue outfit, and another of him in his white-and-red look after undergoing a Fire Flower transformation. Bowser Jr. has one in his default form, while the other has him in his distorted Wonder look from Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

It's also, notably, Lola Tung's first major role since The Summer I Turned Pretty. During a Q&A after the film, she talked about the contrast between the two roles. Dressed in a black lingerie top with a black skirt and a black cape, like she was ready to go into the woods and conduct a sacrifice, she quipped, 'I mean, I don't know, Cousins is pretty dangerous.'

Star Wars fans will search anywhere and everywhere for spoilers, even among things that exist specifically to avoid spoilers, like working titles. Famously, Return of the Jedi was filmed under the name 'Blue Harvest' to avoid undue attention, while Attack of the Clones was (ironically) called 'Jar-Jar's Great Adventure.'

Framing the 2026 festival with the theme 'Against the Current,' we see that there's no one way to interpret or contend with this present moment. From investigative documentaries to family-friendly animations to late-night eco-horror shorts, this year's slate of films celebrates those who build resilience and seek solutions.

I have long been in awe of fighters, and astounded by the discipline, intensity and isolation the sport demands of them. I am excited to explore this world, especially so with A24 as my collaborators.

The festival's opening ceremony is packed with Japanese cultural performances such as sword dances by Futago Onikenbai and music by pop singer Ayaka Hirahara. Families are invited to splash party Pink in the Pool this Saturday-registration required- at Long Bridge Aquatics Center. Kids can eat Japanese snacks, taste tea, and make origami.

Aaron Pierre, the star of the upcoming series Lanterns, will reprise his role of John Stewart in Man of Tomorrow. Pierre plays John Stewart, a member of the Green Lantern Corps, in Lanterns, so his involvement in Man of Tomorrow is somewhat obvious, as we've known from the get-go that Man of Tomorrow will pit Superman and Lex Luthor against Brainiac, an alien villain.

The Dupont Circle bar is playing the tournament across 15 screens with the volume on. Pair game play with $13 cheesesteak egg rolls, $13 smoked chicken nachos, $7 Miller Lite, and $10 Tito's palomas.

The most important thing for me is to highlight every part of our history, whether it's beautiful or ugly, bad or good. Haitian cuisine has developed through colonization, slavery, and centuries of poverty, and Salomon wants to acknowledge that history while telling nation's story through food.

Here, a central character hides behind so many layers of deceit, he almost believes his own version of the truth while his wife refuses to believe their son died in the war. The pitfalls of capitalism and the hollowness of the American Dream certainly resonate today as they did after World War II.

We recently learned that the collectible copper cups included in the Relic Box contain elevated levels of lead and should be disposed of. We are extremely frustrated that this happened. We take our merch incredibly seriously and would never intentionally sell something we didn't believe was 100% legit.

Join us on Monday, Mar 9, at 2pm PT for the Nintendo Direct featuring the final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Please note that no game information will be included in this presentation.

The sculptures are designed to contrast Manhattan's monumental architecture with imagery drawn from fairy tales, archetypal symbols and dreamlike storytelling. Their polished steel surfaces will reflect the surrounding city while their whimsical forms invite pedestrians to pause-and maybe look up from their phones for a minute.

The former, a story about a traumatized boy defending a city from alien incursions using a biomechanical humanoid mecha in the hopes he will be able to understand himself and earn approval from others, is an apt point of reference for Control Resonant's protagonist Dylan Faden. Dylan, the brother of Federal Bureau of Control's director Jesse Faden, is a powerful parautilitarian who has abilities by way of a connection to an otherworldly entity called Polaris.

Katsucon, which describes itself as 'for multicultural enthusiasts,' takes place each year in the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside of DC, and has been running in some form since 1995. It's one of the smaller, more intimate events on the cosplay calendar, but still pulls in guests like My Hero Academia's Justin Briner and Date a Live's Michelle Rojas.

First on the docket is a Heated Rivalry event at the Anthem on Friday, March 6. The competition is organized by event group Club 90's, who have been throwing Heated Rivalry raves around the country. (A bass drop after Rozanov's iconic line, "I'm coming to the cottage?" Why the hell not.) Unlike the freewheeling, hippie-dippie contests of yore, this event is strictly curated.

The Fast Saga was born out of the creativity and community of Los Angeles car culture. Even as the series grew into a global phenomenon, the heart of the franchise has always been rooted in the city.

1250 Ninth St., NW The original Shaw location of this Jersey-style pizza spot is offering $40 dinners and $35 brunches through February 1 (the Navy Yard offshoot is closed for the winter). Go for focaccia breadsticks with truffle fondue, the olive-and-mozz'-laden house salad, and pies such as the white Sedgewick or spicy Godfather.

Best New Restaurant 1. La' Shukran Middle Eastern flavors collide with French bistro dishes at Michael Rafidi's ultra-cool restaurant and rooftop. 2. Chai Pani This color-blasted newcomer recently arrived from Asheville, where its offbeat Indian street food won a James Beard Award. 3. Osteria Mozza Star Los Angeles chef Nancy Silverton has won plenty of fans with her mozzarella bar, Italian snacks, and famed desserts in the former Dean & DeLuca space.
