BuzzFeedWelcome to Screen Time! I'm Nora, and if there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I love watching TV and movies. I also absolutely love being absorbed in fandoms.
BuzzFeedThis week, it’s a little more movie-focused, as I dive into what movies you should watch this weekend, including a documentary from Mariska Hargitay that made me weep. I also share what’s all over my FYP — like the Superman cast being my favorite new cast — and what we’ve got going on over on BuzzFeed Celeb’s YouTube channel, plus more. Thanks for joining me!
BuzzFeedIt’s a long weekend here in the US, so here’s a super-sized weekend rec list:
28 Years Later — watch for: Jodie Comer being, well, Jodie freakin' Comer

It only took me one (1) of these before I mentioned Jodie Comer. My friends will honestly be shocked that it took me this long. The third installment in this series, Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later follows Spike (Alfie Williams), who has grown up on an island off the coast of northern England, away from the mainland that has been ravaged by the Rage Virus. With his mom, Isla (Jodie Comer), getting sicker, Spike decides to leave his dad (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) behind and take Isla to the mainland in hopes of finding a mysterious doctor (Ralph Fiennes).
Miya Mizuno / Columbia Pictures / Everett CollectionIf you couldn’t tell, you need to see this movie for Jodie. She never misses, in my opinion. Her performance as Isla made me uncontrollably sob more than I’d like to admit, and I just think she brings such raw, human emotion to a character in an extraordinary setting. Also, this is Alfie’s very first movie, and he’s outstanding. If you’re a zombie movie fan, I think this is worth watching, and if you’re a Jodie fan, it’s a must-watch. Also, it’s currently my second favorite 2025 movie behind Sinners.

The film follows Zora Bennett (Johansson), who is recruited to collaborate with paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Bailey) and Duncan Kincaid (Ali) to infiltrate a forbidden island that was once used as a dinosaur research facility.
Jasin Boland / Universal Pictures / Everett CollectionIt’s a Jurassic Park movie after all, so expect a lot of tense dinosaur moments. However, this movie was kind of lacking for me, and I think Kong: Skull Island did the same plot much better. So, I’m curious what you all think! But, if there’s one thing I’m always going to love, it’s Jonathan Bailey, so I did enjoy him and his “slutty little glasses.” And, I just love how much Scarlett loves Jurassic Park, like she used to sleep in a Jurassic Park tent in her bedroom growing up. LIKE, IT’S SO CUTE! So, I want her to be able to make another one of these movies because her love for it is so wholesome.

Executive produced by Ryan Coogler, the show follows Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), who has returned to Chicago with her iron suit and ends up getting involved with Parker Robbins/Hood (Anthony Ramos) and his crew. Dominique is such a breath of fresh air as Riri, and I love seeing her really own this space in the MCU and create such a flawed hero you want to root for.
Marvel / Disney+The show really dives into grief and the lengths we go to after losing someone close, and I think it’s just a great message on top of some amazing superhero moments. Also, the show FINALLY makes a longstanding WandaVision theory a reality, and as someone who has been screaming about [spoiler] since 2021 with my WandaVision Easter eggs posts, I feel vindicated. I feel alive. I WILL need an Ironheart Season 2.

Directed by Mariska Hargitay, the film explores Jayne Mansfield’s rapid rise to fame in the 1950s, her relationships, and her sudden death at just 34 years old. A lot of people might not realize that Mariska is Jayne’s daughter, so it’s a documentary that allows Mariska to really come to terms with who her mom was outside of Hollywood’s “smartest dumb blonde.”
Archive Photos / Getty ImagesIt’s just a moving portrait of family and grief, and it even includes Mariska finally revealing that Mickey Hargitay wasn’t actually her biological father, a secret she’s held onto for 30 years despite it being a much-discussed Hollywood rumor. I sobbed through this movie, especially when Mariska’s husband, Peter Hermann, surprises her with Jayne’s piano.

BuzzFeedThese are some of my favorite things from my FYP, feed, and more:
Project Hail Mary released its first trailer this week, and it’s easily one of my most anticipated movies of 2026. I just finished the book a few weeks ago, and I highly encourage reading it before the movie. I am so hyped, as is the rest of my timeline:
@chrom4ticas / Amazon MGM Studios / Via x.comAdvertisementAdvertisement#«R5cekkr8lb2m7nfddbH1» iframe AdvertisementAdvertisement#«R9cekkr8lb2m7nfddbH1» iframe Based on the book by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), a teacher who is suddenly recruited to become an astronaut in order to help save Earth’s dying sun. The story unfolds with us seeing how Ryland ended up in space, as he wakes up with amnesia, unsure of what happened to him and how he got to space. You can watch the trailer below:
Lately, I am absolutely obsessed with the marketing and press tour for the upcoming Superman, especially everything being posted on the film’s TikTok. It’s making me even more excited, especially for David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan’s dynamic as Clark/Superman and Lois Lane:

BuzzFeedThis week, over on BuzzFeed Celeb, we had the adorable cast of Squid Game Season 3 — Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Park Sung-hoon, Kang Ae-sim, Jo Yu-ri, and Yim Si-wan — play with puppies while answering all of our questions about themselves and the final season of the hit Netflix series. They were so wholesome, the puppies were absolutely chaotic, and it made me love this cast even more. We talked about which scenes they couldn’t get through without laughing, what it was like working with T.O.P., the celebs they’ve been surprised to find out are fans of Squid Game, and so much more.
