There are some things you might expect, even count on, in a Super Mario Galaxy movie. The introduction of the celestial Princess Rosalina? Check. A scene of her reading bedtime stories to her adorable, glowing star children? Check. A wild revenge scenario that takes Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi and Toad away from the Mushroom Kingdom and into space, where intergalactic travel requires little more than a well-placed launch star that will hurtle anyone safely through cosmos and into the cozy, self-contained gravitational pulls of nearby planets? This one might depend on how familiar you are with the game itself, first released in 2007, but let’s say check anyway. “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” still has some real surprises (Easter eggs, if you will), both consequential and not. One of those,...

This article is part of a three-part cover package on the Music City Loop. Read the rest here.Many questions went through Nashvillians’ minds when Elon Musk’s The Boring Company announced plans for the Music City Loop — a tunnel from downtown to the airport serviced only by Tesla vehicles. Chief among them: “Is that safe?”Nashville’s limestone bedrock is susceptible to forming sinkholes, and the 2015 “Nashville Next” report declared building a subterranean subway “cost-prohibitive” due to the city’s geology. So letting a private entity loose underground seemed unwise — especially when the company racked up almost 800 environmental violations for its Tesla tunnel in Las Vegas. (And you can get into the politics of this project elsewhere in this cover package.) The Boring Company hired an ou...

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has started off well at the box office, outdoing its predecessor on its first day.When The Super Mario Bros Movie launched on Wednesday April 5, 2023 it brought in $31.7 million in the US box office that day.Now, as reported by Deadline, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has bettered this, hitting $34 million on Wednesday.

Trying to make sense of Geese can feel like a blur for many music fans. Back in 2023, I was in the midst of a Greta Van Fleet bender — traveling to attend GVF shows right and left, racking up six in a little over a year. When GVF announced a band called Geese as one of their openers for the Midwest leg of their tour (which I could not attend), my first thought was what kind of band name is Geese?Then, I promptly forgot the group existed.That is, until a song titled “Love Takes Miles” took over every corner of my personal internet in late 2025. I couldn’t escape this al...

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (in theaters) Super Mario fans are getting a return ticket to their favorite galaxy. “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is once again designed as a love letter to fans, jam-packed with beloved characters, references, sights and music. The sequel expands the love even further, bringing in other Nintendo characters and references from other classic games. The plot gets too overstuffed at times trying to fit it all in, and non-fans will be completely lost. But for people who love the games, and loved the first movie, it’s definitely a galactic journey worth taking. The movie starts soon after the first movie, with Bowser (Jack Black) in tiny jail and Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) now at home in the Mushroom Kingdom.
