A new week means a new batch of content served up on Netflix. With winter starting to recede into the rear-view mirror, that also means the slow but steady dawn of marquee, exciting and also classic titles onto popular streaming services. This week sees a long list of new additions, from Batman and Friday the 13th movies to a Notorious BIG documentary
The first of the month is typically when most additions to streaming services take place, and March is no exception with a whopping 21 newcomers on Netflix. If you’re a fan of hip-hop, you’re in luck, because the first of the month sees the debut of the new documentary Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell. The film is about the life and career of one of the most influential rappers of all time, the Notorious B.I.G. The documentary “celebrates [Biggie’s] life via rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family.”

McGregor returns as the titular Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Christensen will be playing Darth Vader.

New Rainbow Six Siege Update Re-Enables Fuze On Test Server, Implements Bug Fix For Flores
Ubisoft has released a new patch for Rainbow Six Siege, which adds Fuze back to the game, though only on the PC test server. The patch also implements several bug fixes.
Fuze was removed from all Siege playlists (except for Custom) via an update on February 26. Picking the operator was causing an issue that would make Siege crash. The bug attached to the operator is now supposedly fixed, though Ubisoft is keeping him on the test server for now.
As mentioned before, the patch also fixes several in-game bugs. Among them is a bug that was affecting Flores, Siege’s latest operator, who was added in Year 6, Season 1: Crimson Heist. The patch fixes a bug that prevented players from hearing Flores’ RCE-Ratero Charges going off on the other side of a wall.

Borderlands Movie Casts Avengers: Infinity War’s Ariana Greenblatt As Tiny Tina
The cast of the upcoming Borderlands movie just got a tiny bit bigger: Avengers: Infinity War’s Ariana Greenblatt is set to join as the character Tiny Tina, according to The Hollywood Reporter–and confirmed by Gearbox via Twitter. Already, director Eli Roth has enlisted an impressive stable of actors to fill out his Borderlands world, including Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, and Jack Black lending his voice to Claptrap.
The actress played the role of Young Gamore in flashbacks of the MCU movie and has also appeared in Love and Monsters and will feature in the upcoming In The Heights. In a statement, Roth said, “Ariana is a spectacular new talent in cinema. She has already worked with many of my close collaborators and everyone raves about her. She blew us all away in her audition, and I cannot wait to see her bring the wild, insane, and unpredictable Tiny Tina to the big screen. She’s going to blow up on screen like one of Tina’s grenades.”
Tiny Tina first appeared in Borderlands 2 as an NPC and also popped up in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 3. In the games, she’s voiced by Ashly Burch (Mythic Quest) and is a teenage demolitions expert, which should provide for some very entertaining on-screen moments.

WandaVision Finale: 14 Questions That Need To Be Answered
There were a lot of unknowns when WandaVision first started. From the show’s retro sitcom vibes to Vision’s apparent resurrection, we’ve been kept guessing across each episode. Now that the finale is right around the corner, however, we’re running out of time to get official answers–and we’ve still got some major questions.
We can assume that WandaVision is meant to have some sort of cliffhanger ending. Kevin Feige already confirmed back at SDCC 2019 that Wanda would be making her way to the upcoming Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness movie, and the name alone has some major implications. But other headscratchers–like the status of some of Westview’s more colorful residents, the situation revolving around Pietro’s return, and the future of fan-favorite side characters like Agent Woo, Darcy, and Monica–will hopefully be addressed sooner rather than later. After all, we have no guarantee that anyone other than Wanda has a movie in their immediate future.
