Evenin! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LINKEDIN here if ya like or email me at seanmcnultynyc@gmail.com), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on SUNDAY, March 22, 2026.

Where hopefully all of your bracket tactics have . . . at least not been as worse as everyone else in your March Madness pools this weekend.

Exactly. Via Giphy

YAH: AMC THEATRES stock is now below $1 a share (it closed at 98 cents on Friday).

THEN: Kevin Hart will be the next subject of a NETFLIX Roast on Sun., May 10 (aka Mother’s Day), hosted by Shane Gillis, which furthers Gillis’ relationship with the streamer.

YUP: Gotta love the DODGE RAM commercial airing this weekend during March Madness games, including “AI-generated performers,” in between plenty of shots with trucks proudly driving with American flags in the truckbed (snapshot of the lower-third type here).

PLUS: Keeping a good thought for Amanda Peet, as she wrote about her breast cancer diagnosis last fall, which she received amidst handling the loss of her parents.

Kudos to the 18% dreamers! Always nice when the buzz meets reality — well done Project Hail Mary!
