    Mario’s limited edition hot sauce probably won’t give you fire powers.

    TRUFF’s truffle-infused condiments might not rank all that high on the Scoville scale, but what their new, limited edition Super Mario Bros. Movie collection of hot sauces lacks in heat, it more than makes up for in style and on-brand-ness.

    There’s a very good, simple reason movies are so dark these days.

    Whether it’s shows like Game of Thrones on HBO Max and The Mandalorian on Disney Plus, or movies like The Batman, Hollywood seems to have fallen absolutely in love with scenes that are so darkly-lit that you can barely see what’s happening on-screen.
