‘Both of us are very game for that’: Zoey Deutch wants to work with Glen Powell again

Zoey Deutch has a history of bringing romantic comedies to us. Her new film, The Threesome, premiered at SXSW and while on the carpet, we spoke with Deutch about her rom-com legacy. Including one of her more iconic co-stars.

Deutch starred in the film Set It Up for Netflix back in 2018. She played Harper Moore, an overworked assistant who teams up with another assistant, Charlie Young (Glen Powell) to try to set their bosses up on a date. The cute rom-com was set in New York and so it holds a soft spot for many. When I spoke with Deutch, it was exciting because we were also in Austin, Texas, the setting for her other film where she starred opposite Glen Powell: Everybody Wants Some.

The cast of ‘Death of a Unicorn’ answers one very important question at SXSW

We are in Austin, Texas for SXSW! And that means we’re on the carpet for some of the amazing films coming out this year. One was A24’s Death of a Unicorn.

While on the carpet, we got to ask the cast of the film some questions. One being the very important question of if you accidentally hit a mythical being with your car, which would you be the most upset you hurt? The answers ranged from genuine upset at the idea to some cast members taking out their hatred on particular fictional beings.

Glen Powell, the gentleman that you are (according to Amanda Seyfried)

It is your resident Glen Powell fan here to report that there is yet another story about him out there, being a good guy. Truly love that he keeps giving us reasons to love him.

Amanda Seyfried was talking with PEOPLE when she started to talk about when her dress broke. She said that she had her stylist dress it up and it was a vintage Dior Haute Couture and she won an award that night for her work in The Dropout

If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of SXSW, check out Holey Moley!

If you, like The Mary Sue’s reporters, have been running around 2025’s South by Southwest festival, it might be nice to take a break. Watching movies and discovering new music is the ultimate pastime, of course, but if you want to take your eyes off the big screen for an hour or two (and not just stare at a smaller screen instead), another attraction in Austin is worth a visit: Holey Moley.

Holey Moley, situated in East Austin, is a mini golf experience like no other. Not only is the 27-hole course gorgeously and vibrantly decorated with unusual graffiti and art created by local artists, but Holey Moley also offers live music, alfresco dining (with delicious food and cocktails), and karaoke rooms for anyone who wants to belt out a song at the top of their lungs. Whether it’s date night, a birthday party, or you simply need an active break from sitting in the cinema all day, Holey Moley might be just what you’re looking for.

‘Midsomer Murders’ season 25 release window, cast, plot, and more

You would think that after watching the inhabitants of the fictional Midsomer county being brutally murdered for 24 seasons, I’d be sick of it. I’m not, however—honestly, I love this nutty, cozy British detective drama (so much so I’ve just bought tickets to see the first-ever episode of Midsomer Murders played on stage, too).

As such, you can imagine how pleased I was when DCI John Barnaby himself confirmed that Midsomer Murders season 25 was on the way. Though details on the new season are still relatively sparse, you can rest assured that there’s more to come!

‘Lies upon lies’: Trump’s NATO remarks are torn into for their deceptiveness

Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, the United States is speedily marching toward isolationism. Recently, Trump disparaged NATO and hinted at America’s wavering commitment to the organization.

“If you’re not going to pay your bills, we’re not going to defend you,” said Trump in an interview at the Oval Office. He claimed that he pressured the allies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into contributing more for their defense. This isn’t necessarily rhetoric exclusive to Trump, though, as former presidents Obama and Bush also encouraged other NATO members to increase their defense spending.

‘The Night Agent’ season 3 release window, cast, plot, and more

Netflix’s The Night Agent, created by Shawn Ryan, became so popular after its March 2023 premiere that the streaming service renewed it for a second season just one week later. Its success continued when the streamer announced season 3 before the second season premiered.
Based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk, this political action series centers around FBI agent Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, who has to navigate the duplicitous and dangerous world of politics and foreign affairs.

Season 2 was intense, so here’s everything we know about The Night Agent season 3.

‘The Dutchman’ review: a contemporary take on a seminal play with a lot more to say

‘Andor’ season 2 is setting up one of the bloodiest events in ‘Star Wars’ history—and may bring our ‘Rebels’ faves into the mix

With the sophomore season of Tony Gilroy’s Andorfast approaching, Disney has released new footage of the show—and in it, teased what could be the most horrific massacre in onscreen Star Wars history.

Oh, Andor. You know you’re living in the worst timeline when a Star Wars TV show makes more sense than Fox News. Andor, a razor-sharp political commentary and prequel to 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, debuted on Disney+ in 2022 and follows its title character, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), in the years leading up to Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.

‘Running Point’ season 2 release window, cast, plot, and more

Netflix’s newest sitcom, Running Point, has been a runaway hit. Starring rom-com legend Kate Hudson as sudden, take-no-prisoners basketball boss Isla Gordon, Running Point is a fun, fabulous look at what it’s like for a woman to run one of North America’s most valuable sports franchises.

Netflix renewed the show for a second season just a week after the first season aired, and if you’re familiar with Netflix’s renewal practices, you’ll know that’s a huge deal. Clearly, that means Running Point is worth a shot, so if you haven’t watched it yet, take this as your sign to do so, especially if you’re trying to fill that Ted Lasso-shaped hole in your life (though this show is a little less fluffy and a lot less British).

10 most popular fantasy books of all time

Is there a ‘People We Meet on Vacation’ movie release date?

Shockingly, none of Emily Henry’s bestselling romance novels have been adapted yet, but that’s all about to change. Netflix is getting ready to release People We Meet on Vacation, one of five Emily Henry adaptations now in the works. Given the novelist currently boasts five published summer romance novels in total—with a sixth on the way—it’s safe to say the EHCU (Emily Henry Cinematic Universe) is officially set for success. (Henry has authored nine published novels in all.)

People We Meet on Vacation (2021) was the second of Henry’s bestselling adult romance novels to be published. It follows unlikely besties Alex and Poppy, who’ve spent their summer vacations together for years despite living in different cities. Two years ago, however, they stopped speaking to each other, and free-spirit Poppy is determined to disrupt order-loving Alex’s plans and get him to come on one last vacation with her before everything changes. Will this final hurrah allow them to see how much they truly mean to one another?

Pete Hegseth’s ‘Enola Gay’ DEI panic isn’t just laughable—it’s horrifying

For better or worse, the Enola Gay is a hugely important part of American military history. Unfortunately, that history may now be inadvertently erased thanks to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whose anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives mistakenly flagged references to the aircraft for removal simply because it contains the word “gay.”

The potential elimination of Enola Gay’s imagery is just one of thousands of examples of pictures and other archival records being flagged for removal because of Donald Trump’s executive order to wipe out what he and his ardent followers deem to be DEI-related content. Hegseth is in charge of the project at the Pentagon, and so far, over 26,000 images have been tagged for elimination. That number is expected to rise to more than 100,000, including written posts.

‘It felt phony’: Justin Baldoni’s ‘toxic’ positivity slammed amid Blake Lively feud

There’s been another shot fired at Justin Baldoni amid his ongoing feud and lawsuit with actress Blake Lively, following his alleged sexual harassment and alleged smearing of her name on the set of their movie It Ends With Us. The issue? A new report claims he’s too nice—emphasis on the “too” part.

According to a Los Angeles Times profile, his politeness comes off as insincere, with one of his former employees calling it toxic. Baldoni owns a production company called Wayfarer Studios, which produced It Ends With Us. He also directed and starred in it. Wayfarer is also cited in the lawsuit.

Anna Kendrick shuts down Blake Lively question that shouldn’t have been asked on the ‘Another Simple Favor’ SXSW carpet

Another Simple Favor appeared at SXSW at the start of the festival and was a hit. But that didn’t stop reporters from asking questions of the cast they should not. Primarily Anna Kendrick.

Paul Feig, Lively, and Kendrick were all in attendance and, due to the situation going on with Lively’s legal battle, the vibe was simple: Keep it focused on the film when asking questions. As someone who interviews celebrities and does red carpets for a living, I know what is and is not appropriate to ask on a carpet. In this case, it is even more important to NOT ask questions that have nothing to do with the film.

‘Because I’m not Black’: Elon Musk’s infuriating lies about Starlink’s South Africa ban target racial tension

Elon Musk returned to his website X with an out-of-pocket and unseasoned claim about his satellite internet service Starlink: “Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa because I’m not black.” The post came in response to South African billionaire Rob Hersov’s interview with The Rubin Report, in which he complained about “140 race-based laws in South Africa, all anti-white,” and thanked Donald Trump and “America” for “taking notice, because we are on the edge of the socialist abyss.”

The truth? Starlink faces the same regulatory requirements as any telecommunications company in post-apartheid South Africa—including Microsoft, which just announced an R5.4 billion ($296 million) investment there. “Sir, that’s NOT true, and you know it! It’s got nothing to do with your skin color,” responded Clayson Monyela, South Africa’s head of diplomacy, to Musk’s egregious claim. “Starlink is welcome to operate in ZA, provided there’s compliance with local laws.”
