Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has been nominated for five Academy Awards, so the studio is bringing the blockbuster sci-fi story back to theaters for one last IMAX screening ahead of Sunday’s big award ceremony.

Paramount Pictures announced the one-day showing of An Encore of Interstellar: The IMAX Experience this week, and promised the February 21 screening at AMC Theaters would feature more than 12 minutes of additional behind-the-scenes footage from production. The screenings are being held at select IMAX theaters at 3pm local time Saturday, and certain theaters will offer an additional free ticket to anyone who buys a ticket at the box office, instead of purchasing it online.

Nolan’s Interstellar is in the running for five Oscars this weekend, with nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing.

Directed by Christopher Nolan and co-written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, Interstellar follows a team of astronauts who set out to determine whether humanity’s salvation from a crippling planetary drought lies beyond the known reaches of our galaxy. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, and Michael Caine.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.

It's sad to see April end. Not only was the weather nice, but Netflix was killing it with a lot of its original programming like the thriller series Ripley with Andrew Scott, the true-life story Scoop, and the cathartic drama Baby Reindeer, which became a surprise hit late in the month.
