Over a decade after the release of Scary Movie 5, Scary Movie (2026) is now streaming on Paramount Plus. The film reunites key players from the original cast, leaving millennials feeling nostalgic, for better or worse.

1. The Mandalorian and Grogu

  • Available on Disney Plus
  • Genre: Sci-fi
  • Run time: 2h 12m

The Mandalorian feels like it came out a lifetime ago. The series kicked off a new generation of Star Wars stories for the small screen, introducing the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu. The movie takes protagonists on a new adventure, introducing new characters and planets alongside growth for the baby in the galaxy.

Per the Polygon review:

The Mandalorian and Grogu technically takes place after the events of both The Mandalorian season 3 and Ahsoka season 1, but none of that really matters. Everything you need to know is revealed in a static title card (no crawling text here), which explains that the masked Mandalorian known as Din Djarin (voiced by Pedro Pascal, with much of the physical performance done by Lateef Crowder and Brendan Wayne) and his puppet friend Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) are now working as bounty hunters for the fledgling New Republic. Reporting to Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver), they track down various Empire supporters hiding out on the outskirts of the galaxy.
