*Survivor* finale night is a national holiday in my household. There's a potluck with themed dishes, fantasy league prizes, and lots of wine. (Not as much Corona, but maybe that's a good thing?) Now that the Sole Survivor's been announced, I'm very grateful that *Top Chef* still has a few weeks — and Hulu's new talk show *Get Real* is giving me little tastes of reality dopamine to hold me over 'til *Big Brother* finally returns in July!—*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

The Mandalorian and Grogu

'The Mandalorian and Grogu'.

Grab your beskar helmet and some blue macarons, because the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are officially making the hyperjump from television to the big screen in their very own *Star Wars* film. Now an independent contractor for the New Republic, Mando and his food-motivated little one embark on a dangerous mission to locate the missing Rotta the Hutt (voiced by Jeremy Allen White), only to find themselves the targets of a much darker plot. Don't worry, though! The healthiest father-son duo in the galaxy has plenty of help from Ward (Sigourney Weaver), Zeb (Steve Blum), and some seriously adorable Anzellans. —*Emlyn Travis, News Writer*

What critics are saying about *Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu*

I Love Boosters

Keke Palmer in 'I Love Boosters'.

Boots Riley's (*Sorry to Bother You*) latest proves that style and substance aren't mutually exclusive. The looks are chic, the cast is magnetic, the message is humanist. Reminiscent of the campiness of *Josie and the Pussycats* and the hustle of *Set It Off*. —*Salem Daniel, Producer*

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed

Tatiana Maslany on 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed'.

After winning an Emmy for playing several clones with markedly different personalities on *Orphan Black*, Tatiana Maslany is back with another meaty role, leading Apple TV's addictive new drama as a divorced mom and fact-checker who gets caught up in a chain of scams involving a cam boy. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*

Kevin Morby’s* Little Wide Open*

Chantal Anderson

Inspired by long stretches on the road, the Americana singer-songwriter's new album teems with sun-flecked melodies and twilit musings. Produced by the National's Aaron Dessner and featuring cameos from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and country-rock icon Lucinda Williams, it's his best to date. —*Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor*

Hugh Jackman in 'New Born'.

Hugh Jackman gives a remarkable performance, delivering one of three monologues by playwright Ella Hickson at Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre in NYC. Marianna Gailus and Sepideh Moafi (*The Pitt*) ably perform the others, but Jackman is stunning as a man failing to balance love and lust. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*
