When the Wisconsin-born trio of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker (aka ZAZ) unleashed the comedy hit of 1980 in "Airplane!" (which shockingly outgrossed the higher-profile "Caddyshack"), Hollywood immediately set out to capitalize on the boys' relentless brand of spoofery. ZAZ's gag-a-second style was a dream come true for box-office obsessed studios; the jokes came so fast and hit so hard that the audience's roaring laughter often drowned out the next few jokes. This meant repeat viewings were a must. Paramount begged the filmmakers to deliver an "Airplane!" sequel posthaste. They declined and spent their clout on a parody of humorless cop shows. "Police Squad!" premiered as a mid-season replacement for ABC on March 4, 1982. The half-hour comedy headed up by Leslie Nielsen (possibly the greatest deadpan comedic actor of the sound era) earned raves from TV critics, but was DOA in the, uh, Nielsen ratings.

With its gumption, charm, and an empowering story, 1992's "A League of Their Own" is one of the most lovable sports movies ever made. The Penny Marshall-directed comedic drama stars Geena Davis and Lori Petty as two sisters who make it big in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s. Along the way, they meet a ragtag team of talented gals including Madonna's flirtatious center fielder "All the Way" Mae, Rosie O'Donnell's third baseman Doris, and Tom Hanks' booze-drenched manager, Jimmy Dugan. Apparently, despite the indelible imprint the vibrant female cast left on pop culture, the team behind the film almost ended up making a prequel film ... about Hanks' character. In a 30th anniversary retrospective with The Hollywood Reporter , co-screenwriter Lowell Ganz, director Marshall, and star Davis revealed plans for an ultimately scrapped prequel about grouchy team lead Dugan.

Although he was only glimpsed briefly in the trailer for Ryan Coogler's " Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ," much online hay has already been made about the fact that Namor the Sub-Mariner was seen emerging from the seas and seemingly doing battle with the Black Panther's home nation of Wakanda. Namor is played by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta (" The Forever Purge ,"), as confirmed by  an official announcement that came out of the San Diego Comic Con.  "Wakanda Forever" is set to be released in theaters on November 11, 2022, and since Marvel has always been incredibly ginger with their official press releases (the steady drip of information about Marvel movies is one of the more meticulously crafted marketing triumphs of the modern age) little is yet known about the story. All that is known is that T'Challa has died (a reflection of the real-life loss of "Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman ) and it remains to be seen if someone else

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to move in an intergalactic direction. The first three phases of the MCU have been dubbed the "Infinity Saga" by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

Spoilers for "Nope" ahead. In Jordan Peele's " Nope ," the film's protagonists -- brother and sister OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) -- are reduced to selling their inherited ranch's trained movie star horses in order to make ends meet. When they find the ranch is being stalked by a mysterious, man-eating flying saucer, Emerald suggests they could make a great deal of money capturing the vessel on film and selling the footage to the highest bidder.
