March is here and that means it’s awards month. From the Screen Actors Guild awards to the Oscars, there will be plenty of movie and television titles dominating headlines. That makes it the perfect time to fire up some new films and shows coming out this month, plus time to catch up on all the things you’ve been putting off while still working to keep your New Year’s resolutions going.
Here’s what you should check out in March.
What to Watch on Netflix: March 2022
Start your engines, because the new season of Netflix’s binge-worthy documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive is here. The 2021 Formula 1 season was one of the most incredible sports runs in recent memory. We won’t spoil the outcome for you in case you didn’t see who won—but let’s just say the championship comes down to the very end, and it’s a battle between the two biggest stars in the sport: Lewis Hamilton and his rival Max Verstappen. The series starts streaming March 11, and if you haven’t seen previous seasons of the show, we highly recommend going back and catching up—it’ll make you a Formula 1 fan in no time.
The biggest release this month on the streamer is the Ryan Reynolds sci-fi movie The Adam Project, from Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy. The story follows Adam Reed, a time-traveling pilot from the future (Reynolds), who must team up with his younger self (Walker Scobell) to help save the world—and the future. The key to it all? Adam’s mysterious father (Mark Ruffalo), who passed away before Adam could know him. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you can check out what Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been up to since playing Jamie Lannister in Against the Ice (March 2), a historical drama based on the true 1909 expedition of explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen across Greenland. The GoT connection doesn’t end there—Charles Dance, who played Jamie’s father, Tywin Lannister, co-stars in the film along with Joe Cole.
If you’re looking for something off the beaten path, Charlie McDowell’s new film Windfall (March 25) might be for you. McDowell, who previously directed the mind-bending, doppelgänger drama The One I Love, returns with a new thriller that stars Lily Collins and Jesse Plemons as a wealthy couple that returns to their vacation home, only to find a burglar (played by Jason Segel) robbing them. For something a bit lighter, the second season of the smash-hit Bridgerton (March 25) is coming back and will now focus on trying to find Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) a suitable match.
Netflix has plenty of options this month for your weekly movie night, with classic and recent comedies, action flicks, and big-budget releases hitting the platform. If you’re looking for some action, Tom Cruise’s iconic Top Gun (March 1) is the pick—and perfect timing with the long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick scheduled to come out on May 27 (we say “scheduled,” because this movie was supposed to come out in 2019 and has had quite a few release dates already, but we have our fingers crossed this time around).
Other movies hitting March 1 include the gambling drama 21, which follows the real-life story of how a bunch of MIT students used card-counting to make money off Las Vegas casinos; the football lockout comedy The Replacements, starring a pre-John Wick Keanu Reeves; Ben Stiller’s classic comedy Zoolander; and an underrated gem: the 2018 action drama Beirut, which stars Jon Hamm as a former diplomat who has to come out of retirement to help save a former colleague from kidnappers. Later in March, Christopher Nolan’s war epic Dunkirk (March 12), Gerard Butler’s London Has Fallen (March 13), and Ryan Gosling’s Blade Runner 2049 start streaming.
What to Watch on HBO Max: March 2022
HBO Max is packed with new television shows and movies this month, with the most anticipated one being the premiere of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (March 6). The series, based on reporter Jeff Pearlman’s book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s, has an incredible cast and production team behind it, with Succession’s Adam McKay executive producing and directing the pilot. As you can tell from the title, the show follows the early years of the Lakers’ dynasty, as players like Magic Johnson (Quincy Isaiah) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Solomon Hughes) lead the team to a championship. The all-star cast includes John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss, Adrien Brody as Pat Riley, Sally Field as Jessie Buss, Adrien Brody as Pat Riley, and Jason Clarke as Jerry West.
Taika Watiti (Thor: Ragnarok) is bringing his unique brand of humor with the pirate-themed series Our Flag Means Death. The show takes inspiration from the true story of Stede Bonnet, an aristocrat who left his rich life behind in the 1700s to become a pirate. Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords) stars as Bonnet, while Waititi plays the legendary pirate Blackbeard.
The action-packed miniseries DMZ (March 17) is based on the comic book series of the same name, which centers on a second American Civil War that breaks out in a future America, leaving Manhattan as a demilitarized zone. The story follows a medic named Alma (Rosario Dawson) as she tries to find her lost son while navigating the DMZ that New York City has become. The series also stars Benjamin Bratt (Doctor Strange) and Mamie Gummer (Side Effects).
New movie premieres this month include F9: The Fast Saga, the latest high-octane installment of the long-running series, as well as the sci-fi romantic comedy Moonshot. In F9, Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel) and his loyal crew must face off against Dom’s brother Jakob (John Cena), who is trying to steal a device that can hack into any computer on earth. This movie literally takes the crew to space and brings back some old faces long thought dead (we won’t spoil that here). Along with those movies, Oscar contenders West Side Story and Drive My Car—both nominated for Best Picture—start streaming, while Dune, which has 11 Academy Award nominations, returns to the platform March 10 after debuting in October. Another Oscar contender, King Richard, which is also nominated for Best Picture and Best Actor for Will Smith, also comes back to the platform March 24 after premiering last year.
What to Watch on Disney Plus: March 2022
Marvel fans rejoice: A new MCU series is debuting this month—and it’s a hero making his on-screen debut. In Moon Knight (March 30), Oscar Isaac (Dune) stars as Steven Grant/Marc Spector/Moon Knight, a mercenary who suffers from dissociative identity disorder and gains supernatural powers connected to the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Yes, it sounds pretty out there, but the longtime fan-favorite comic book character is expected to bring some serious action for Marvel fans. Ethan Hawke stars as Arthur Harrow, the main villain of the series who’s a cult leader who tries to bring Spector to his side of things. Moon Knight follows Hawkeye as the next MCU series and will be the last thing fans get to see before the highly-anticipated Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness debuts in May.
If you’re looking for something a bit more family friendly, Cheaper by the Dozen (March 18) gets a fresh update with a new movie starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff. Sticking close with the original premise, the duo stars as the heads of the Baker family, which includes 12 children and plenty of hijinks. The platform also gets the Oscar-contending West Side Story on March 2, which is up for major awards like Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. Steven Spielberg directed the updated version of the musical classic, which stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, and Rita Moreno.
What to Watch on Amazon Prime: March 2022
Can’t wait until June for Season 3 of The Boys? You can get your superhero fix with the new animated spinoff of the series, The Boys: Diabolical (March 4). The eight-episode first season is an anthology and will tell different stories set in the universe of The Boys, meaning there will be plenty of cursing, violence, and dark comedic humor. The show will feature some of the voices of The Boys cast, including Antony Starr (Homelander), Elisabeth Shue (Madelyn Stillwell), and Giancarlo Esposito (Stan Edgar), while various episodes will be written by an all-star crew, including Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Awkwafina, Aisha Tyler, and original Boys comic creator Garth Ennis.
This month will get the second season of the sci-fi comedy Upload, from The Office creator Greg Daniels. The show takes place in a near-future where people can “upload” themselves into a virtual afterlife that they can choose before they die. The show will continue following Robbie Amell’s Nathan, who ended up in the expensive afterlife location Lake View after he died unexpectedly. All seven episodes of the series will start streaming on Prime on March 4.
If you enjoyed the Prime release of Being the Ricardos back in January, you can continue your I Love Lucy-related run with the documentary Lucy and Desi (March 4). Directed by actress Amy Pohler, the film follows the career of Lucille Ball and her relationship with Desi Arnaz, as well as the work on Lucy and how it became one of the most successful shows in history. Among the movies coming to the streamer this month: the classic comedy Weekend At Bernie’s, Tom Hardy’s historical drama Lawless, the superhero drama Chronicle, and the action-crime thriller Takers.
What to Watch on Apple TV+: March 2022
Apple TV Plus comes into March with a high-profile adaptation of the WeWork story in WeCrashed (March 18), which stars Oscar winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway. Based on the podcast “WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork,” the story follows the wild rise and fall of one of the biggest tech startups in recent memory as Adam Neumann (Leto) builds his office sharing company into a massive cautionary tale. Along with his wife Rebekah (Hathaway), Neumann expanded WeWork from office sharing to schools to housing and more before crashing in value. The first three episodes premiere on March 18, with weekly episodes coming out after that.
Prolific movie actor Samuel L. Jackson takes his talents to the small screen with the miniseries The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. Based on the novel of the same name, Jackson plays the titular Grey, who’s a 93-year-old man who suffers from dementia, but when he’s able to learn of his past and nearly all his memories from his entire life come back to him, he works to investigate the mysterious death of his nephew. Walter Mosley adapted the series from his own novel, while acclaimed Academy Award-nominated director Ramin Bahrani is behind the camera.
Season 2 of the documentary series Dear… returns with nine new episodes, all streaming on March 4. The series features different celebrities and athletes reading letters from people who they have inspired through what they do. This run will feature episodes centered on surfer Laird Hamilton, actors Jane Fonda and Viola Davis, basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and director Ava DuVernay, among others. The other anticipated release this month is the adaptation of the New York Times bestselling novel Pachinko, which tells the generational story of a Korean immigrant family over decades. The eight-episode season will start with three episodes on March 25, with weekly episodes coming after that.
What to Watch on Hulu: February 2022
This month on Hulu the first major narrative project about the Theranos scandal comes to the platform. While there have been documentaries, articles and podcasts about the real-life company and ensuing downfall, this is the first that will tell the story in drama series form. Based on the excellent podcast of the same name (we recommend you go back and check it out), The Dropout stars Amada Seyfried as Holmes, the CEO of Theranos who took her company to incredible highs and billions of dollars in valuation before it all came crumbling down due to fraud, lies, and much more. The excellent supporting cast includes Naveen Andrews as Holmes’ partner, Sunny Balwani, while William H. Macy, Laure Metcalf, Alan Ruck, and Sam Waterston also star. The show will start with a three-episode premiere on March 3, with weekly episodes coming after that.
After a nearly four-year wait, Atlanta is returning for Season 3 on FX on March 25, and you’ll be able to watch episodes after they air live through Hulu. Created by and starring Donald Glover, the series centers on Earn (Glover) and his cousin Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles, an aspiring rapper from Atlanta who’s trying to navigate an ever-growing career. The series has been previously described by Glover as “Twin Peaks for rappers,” and for Season 3, the action will shift to Europe as Paper Boi and his crew go on a tour around the continent. Season 4 has already been filmed and will be debuting later this year as the final run for the series.
On the film front, Hulu will debut the long-delayed psychological thriller Deep Water. The film stars Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas as a married couple who find their relationship deteriorate as they start playing mind games with each other. The film was originally supposed to be released in November 2020, but was pushed back multiple times due to the ongoing pandemic. The supporting cast includes Tracy Letts, Lil Rel Howery, Finn Whitrock and Euphoria‘s Jacob Elordi, while Euphoria creator Sam Levinson co-wrote the script.
Following its release last year, the Guy Ritchie-directed action film Wrath of Man starring Jason Statham will start streaming on March 23. The film follows Statham’s cash-truck driver who gets involved in a massive robbery. The strong supporting cast includes Holt McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, Josh Hartnett, Laz Alonso, Eddie Marsan and Scott Eastwood. Hulu also will continue with new episodes this month of shows like How I Met Your Father and Pam & Tommy, while NBC shows like Young Rock and Mr. Mayor will each start their second seasons on March 16, and you’ll be able to catch new episodes on the platform as well. Other classic movies coming March 1 include: The Firm, Lawless, Predators, The Princess Bride, Demolition Man, Drinking Buddies and The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Open banking in Europe and Asia: A steady march forward
There’s no doubt when the weather turns colder as we settle into winter, stouts take center stage. And while we enjoy all its iterations: standard stout, imperial stout, and robust barrel-aged stouts, we think this malty, chocolate-filled beer’s close cousin deserves a little respect as well. Of course, we’re talking about the oft-overlooked porter. And the best porters, oh buddy, they’ll have you rethinking your seasonal bevvie of choice.
For those uninitiated, the porter style had its genesis in England like many other iconic beer styles. It first appeared in the 1700s and is (you guessed it) named after porters—individuals tasked with transporting luggage.
A confusing origin story
“Stout is the direct descendant of porter. In the 1700s, it was common to use the word ‘stout’ to refer to a bolder, higher-alcohol version of any beer style, much in the same way we use the word ‘imperial’ today,” says Zach Fowle, advanced cicerone and head of marketing for Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. in Phoenix, AZ. “Porter was the most popular beer of the day, and over time, “stout porter” became a popular variant. But by the late 1800s, demand for regular porters evaporated, and stout porter shortened simply to stout.”
But more has changed between the 1800s and today than just our penchant for wearing top hats. “Today, most brewers seem to market beers as either stout or porter based on vibes, rather than on any notable stylistic differences,” he says.
Specifically, porters are known for their dark, almost pitch-black color and rich, sweet flavor profile. If you were to drink a porter and a stout side by side, you might even have difficulty discerning the differences between the two.
Stout versus porter is an enduring topic of discussion in the brewing industry. “While there’s no debating the porter came first—and stout used to be called stout porter, so it was a stronger version of a porter—the lines have become very blurred over the years,” says Rob Lightner, co-founder of East Brother Brewing in Richmond, CA.
“I would venture that even among professionals, a blind taste test would often yield inconclusive results,” says Lightner.
The difference between porters and stouts
Porters tend to be on the milder, more chocolatey end of the spectrum, Lightner says, whereas stouts are typically a little stronger and more roasty. Of course, this isn’t a hard and fast rule
Fowle agrees, “Porters tend to be fruitier, sweeter, and less bitter than stouts, with cocoa and caramel flavors in balance with dark malt bitterness. And stouts are usually hoppier, drier, maltier, and more coffee-forward—and may even have a touch of acidity.”
Whether or not they fit neatly into boxes, one thing’s for sure: both make for incredible cold-weather brews.
“As the nights grow longer, drinking a light, summery beer just doesn’t seem right,” says Fowle. “Porter is the perfect style for the transition to winter: warming and toasty yet not too heavy, with flavors of coffee, chocolate, and pie crust that correspond with autumn weather and holidays.”
It’s the perfect time to broaden your repretoire. Sweet, robust, warming, and well-suited to the season, here are the best porters to drink now.
1. Deschutes Black Butte Porter
There are few porters more well-respected than Deschutes’ iconic Black Butte Porter. It’s brewed with Cascade and Tettnang hops as well as 2-row, Chocolate, Crystal, and Carapils malts as well as wheat. This 5.5% ABV year-round offering is great for cold-weather drinking because of its mix of roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate.

Best Time-Under-Tension Workout for Total-Body Strength

The key to 360-degree muscle: 90-degree eccentric isometrics. It might seem like we’re throwing a lot of geometry at you, but the concept behind time under tension (TUT) is simple, says Joel Seedman, PhD, owner of Advanced Human Performance: “Perform the lowering phase of a movement in a slow, controlled fashion, usually 3 to 5 seconds; pause in the stretched position, typically around 90 degrees; then perform the lifting phase in a powerful yet controlled fashion.” Believe us, a time-under-tension workout can humble even seasoned lifters…Eccentric isometrics are like the pressure cooker of training.
“Rather than mindlessly performing slow-tempo reps, you’re using the increased time under tension as a means to fine-tune your body mechanics and alignment, which requires more mental engagement and focus,” Seedman adds.
If you want to forge functional muscle mass and strength while simultaneously bulletproofing the joints and connective tissue, give this 10-move, full-body eccentric isometrics workout a go.
Directions
Perform the following moves as 90-degree eccentric isometrics following the above protocol. Use heavy weight, but not at the detriment of proper form. Rest 60 to 90 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between circuits. Perform once every 2 to 4 days for optimal results.
Best Time-Under-Tension Workout for Total-Body Strength
Circuit 1
A. Barbell Back Squat
Set a squat rack up with heavy weight, then grasp bar and step under it. Squeeze shoulder blades together, then stand to unrack bar and step back with feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale, hinge at hips and slowly bend knees to 90 degrees. Pause, keeping natural arch in low back, then extend through hips to powerfully stand. 3 x 4-6 reps
B. Renegade Row
Start in the top position of a pushup with hands shoulder-width apart on moderate-to-heavy dumbbells (shown). Explosively drive right elbow back to row dumbbell toward ribs while balancing on opposite hand and feet. Pause, then slowly lower weight, stopping a few inches above floor. Switch sides after all reps are done. 3 x 5 reps each side
Circuit 2
A. Dumbbell Bentover Row
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding two moderate-to-heavy dumbbells in front of thighs, palms facing you. Push hips back and hinge torso forward so it’s nearly parallel to floor, soft bend in knees. Dumbbells should be near shins. Drive elbows back to row weights toward ribs. Pause, then slowly lower down for 3 to 5 seconds. 3 x 4-5 reps
B. Incline Dumbbell Chest Press with Legs Raised
Set an adjustable bench to a 30- to 45-degree angle and lie back with dumbbells in either hand. Engage core and lift legs off floor, flexing feet. Press weights overhead, palms in. Slowly lower to 90 degrees, staying tight and compact. Pause, then drive weights up directly over chest. 3 x 4-5 reps
Circuit 3
A. Dumbbell Bulgarian Squat
Stand lunge-length in front of a flat bench, holding heavy dumbbells in each hand by your sides, palms facing in. Rest the ball on top (shoe’s laces) of your right foot behind you on the bench. Slowly lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Pause, then drive through your heel to stand. Switch sides after all reps are complete. 2 x 3-4 reps each side
B. Single-leg Romanian Deadlift
Stand with feet hip-width apart holding dumbbells or kettlebells. Drive right leg up, foot flexed, knee aligned with hip, making a 90-degree angle. Hinge at hips as you slowly lever your torso toward floor, lowering weights and driving right leg back for counterbalance. Hold, then squeeze glutes to reverse. 2 x 3-4 reps each side
Circuit 4
A. Pullup
Hang from a pullup bar using an overhand grip with legs extended and feet flexed. Engage lats and draw shoulders down your back, then pull yourself up until chin is higher than hands. Pause at the top, then slowly lower. Pause at bottom, then reset before your next rep. 2-3 x 4-5 reps
B. Kneeling Overhead Barbell Press
Hold a bar with moderate-to-heavy load at shoulder level with forearms perpendicular to floor. Kneel at end of bench with feet flexed to grip edge for support. Inhale, engage your core and glutes, then press the bar overhead, pushing your head forward so it passes your face, exhaling at the top.
Slowly lower until elbows are at 90 degrees, then hold to maintain tension. Begin your next rep from here. 2-3 x 4-5 reps
Circuit 5
A. Dumbbell Pushup
Place hands on dumbbells (this provides greater range of motion) at shoulder width and feet wider than shoulder width with just toes touching the ground. Keep head neutral and hips high to increase tension on core, chest and tris and reduce stress on spine. Slowly lower to the floor. Stop
once elbows hit 90 degrees, pause, then push up to start. 1-2 x 6-8 reps
B. Biceps Curl
Stand with feet hip-width apart with moderate-to-heavy dumbbells in each hand hanging by sides. Engage biceps to curl the weights up, keeping upper arms still. Pause at the top, then lower slowly. Don’t let arms drop all the way down to keep greater time under tension on biceps. 1-2 x 6-8 reps

If you haven’t picked up a jump rope since elementary school, you’re missing out on a fantastic cardio workout. Not only will you burn a ton of calories in a short amount of time—200 to 300 calories in 15 minutes—but jump ropes can also improve your coordination and agility. Better yet, jumping rope doesn’t require much space, so it’s easy to do at home, and it’s often more mentally stimulating than jogging or swimming.
Choosing a Jump Rope
When deciding which jump rope is best for you, it’s important to determine what your goals are. While lightweight speed ropes are popular for cardio-focused training, weighted or drag ropes will be best for those focused on strength training.
No matter what your training goals are, we’ve got you covered with this roundup of 10 jump ropes from top brands including Crossrope, TRX, Rogue, and more.
