The astronauts of Artemis II are halfway through their time in space. What can you expect for the rest of the mission—and when is Artemis III scheduled for liftoff? #ArtemisII #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/04/what...

“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” Tries to Continue the Magic Overall, I was very underwhelmed.

“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” looks great, but it doesn't quite capture the smash-hit fun of the first installment. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/04/the-...

“The Girl Who Draws on Whales” Is a Confident, Compelling Debut The first graphic novel fully written and illustrated by Eisner nominee Ariela Kristantina is pure vibes.

"The Girl Who Draws on Whales," released digitally last fall, is out this week in print from @darkhorse.com. Our reviewer calls it "an emotionally direct story of exploration, adventure, discovery, and inner growth." #comics #graphicnovels #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/09/the-...

“The Welkin” at the Gremlin Theatre Warns About the Failures of Community Set in 1759 in England against the backdrop of the return of Halley’s Comet, “The Welkin” explores the fragile balance of justice in an insular community.

"The Welkin"—now in its last weekend at the Gremlin in St. Paul—is one part "12 Angry Men," one part "The Crucible," and one part feminist cautionary tale. #MNtheater #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/the-...

#twincitiesgeeks iOS autocorrect is ruining my liiiife 🫠

Netflix’s New Red Hot Chili Peppers Doc Shows the Unbreakable Bonds Among Outcasts This documentary paints a picture of being an outsider and the brotherly bond created between the best of friends.

"The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers" takes you through the ups and downs of a group of misfits and the steadfast friendship that got them through it all. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/netf...

“Project Hail Mary” Is a Slam Dunk It’s a dazzlingly entertaining two and a half hours.

Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller "deliver the whole package: the sensory overload of modern media, the emotional wallop of classic Hollywood." #ProjectHailMary #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/proj...

“Dinosaur World Live” at the Children’s Theatre Empowers Kids to Take an Active Role in Their Learning Half play and half heightened nature documentary, "Dinosaur World Live" presents a fun, dynamic story for kids to invest in, with an educational edge.

In "Dinosaur World Live," a talented team of performers gives dinos life (and voice) on the Children's Theatre stage. #MNtheater #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/dino...

“Strange Heart: The Dream Songs of John Berryman” Brings Surrealism to a Fundamentally Human Story This unique self-described operetta brings to life the story of poet John Berryman and his struggles with mental illness, alcoholism, and his identity as an artist.

This weekend is your last chance to see Greg Brosofske's John Berryman operetta at Open Eye Theatre. Our reviewer calls it "a dreamlike look into an extremely human story." #MNtheater #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/stra...

In (Tentative) Defense of “The Life of a Showgirl” I’d like to talk about an album that has been breaking the internet in a way I haven’t seen since “The Tortured Poets Department”—the good, the bad, and my own hot takes.

Taylor Swift's 12th studio album has its misses, but like the artist herself, it ultimately comes out on top for this Swiftie. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/in-t...

The New “Cyberpunk” Trading Card Game Offers a Bright Glimpse of the Dark Future If you could judge a game by its cover, this TCG would be a slam dunk for fans of the “Cyberpunk” franchise and the wider genre.

TCGs are a tough market, but the Kickstarter campaign for WeirdCo's new #Cyberpunk game offers a lot of promise. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/the-...

“Water for Elephants” Showcases Magnificent Puppetry, Dance, and Circus Arts at the Orpheum Theatre “Water for Elephants,” based on the 2006 novel by the same name by Sarah Gruen, takes plot from its source material but not tone.

The musical adaptation of “Water for Elephants”—at the Orpheum in Minneapolis through this weekend—is a love letter to the physically demanding work of the performing arts. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/wate...

Walking Shadow Theatre Company’s “Feast” Is a Call to Action in 2026 Walking Shadow Theatre Company has brought “Feast,” a one-woman show inspired by Beowulf, back for its third run at the Black Forest Inn in Minneapolis.

This one-woman response to "Beowulf" is back for a third run at the Black Forest Inn—a venue that has added significance this year thanks to its location at Nicollet and 26th in Minneapolis. #MNtheater #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/walk...

“Macbeth” at the Guthrie Showcases Strong Performances on a Minimal Set The set, costumes, and props lean heavily into minimalism, but I was left to wonder, how little is too little?

The Guthrie's sixth staging of "Macbeth" is full of great performances, but the bare-bones set and costuming sometimes hold them back. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/macb...

Yesssssss, come help us justify the ridiculous amount of board games in our basement by playing them with us tomorrow night!!! 😆 #TwinCitiesGeeks

Did Season 1 of "Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation" Live Up to the Hype? In my experience, hype is one of the biggest double-edged swords in the entertainment industry.

Possibly no other anime has garnered more hype in the past few years than the anime adaptation of "Disney Twisted-Wonderland." Was it worth the wait? #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/03/did-...
