Project Hail Mary and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Cinema: Project Hail Mary 

General release, Friday, March 20 

Adapted from Andy Weir’s novel by Drew Goddard, and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Spider-Verse franchise), the near three-hour Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as lone astronaut Ryland Grace, who awakens with amnesia on a spaceship light-years from Earth. He gradually pieces together his mission: to save Earth from a mysterious phenomenon causing the Sun to dim and triggering a catastrophic ice age. He must use his scientific knowledge and ingenuity to find a solution, potentially with the help of an unexpected companion.

One third of the Young Hot Guys podcast, Tony Cantwell brings his new show You Cry Weird to De Barra’s on Friday. It dives into the bizarre things that have made him cry — from dog documentaries to drunken treadmill disasters and childhood mortification. Full of wildly personal stories, surreal sidesteps and more tangents than a men’s beach in summer, it’s chaotic, heartfelt and hilarious. The show also promises puns.

Streaming: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man 

Netflix, Friday March 20 

Released in cinemas a couple of weeks ago, this feature-length Peaky Blinders finale arrives on Netflix on Friday. In the rubble of 1940 Birmingham, amid the Blitz's fury, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is torn from his self-imposed exile when his estranged son Duke (Barry Keoghan) becomes entangled in a treacherous Nazi scheme to flood Britain with counterfeit currency. Will he reclaim the Peaky Blinders' throne or set fire to everything he's built? By order of the Peaky Blinders.
