Pi Day 2026: Where to score the best freebies and deals

Pi Day 2026: Where to score the best freebies and deals

While math lovers come together every year on March 14 to celebrate Pi Day, it can also be an opportunity for others to reap the benefits of special restaurant promotions. Representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, pi is approximately equal to 3.14159 — but its digits go on forever. In school, you might have used it to calculate the area of a circle or the volume of a cylinder. But the applications of pi are endless and part of every corner of our world. The holiday was created in 1988 by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, to celebrate math. Due to the number’s association with a circle, restaurants have been able to get creative through offering promotions on their circle-shaped items, whether it be pizza, pie or cookies. From 7-Eleven to Burger King, here are all the best food deals for Pi Day. open image in gallery Many restaurant chains have offered deals and promotions for the holiday, including Round Table Pizza and Polly’s …

Finneas O’Connell to Score ‘Beef’ Season 2

Finneas O’Connell will score season two of Netflix‘s Beef, the streamer and the anthology series’ studio A24 jointly announced on Thursday. “Spent the last 12 months in Beef land. All eight episodes out April 16, All Original music by me,” O’Connell said in a statement. “Very grateful to Sonny for involving me, very grateful for the incredible performances from the entire cast; I probably watched every scene 100 times while I scored the show and I felt it every time.

Mistakes Were Made by Lucy Score

Mistakes Were Made by Lucy Score

There’s a recurring motif in Mistakes Were Made by Lucy Score that sums up the entire novel in a single glittering image: a disco ball. A shattered thing, fractured into dozens of jagged pieces, that somehow catches the light and turns a whole room into something magical. That’s essentially what Lucy Score does with this book. She takes two deeply imperfect people, throws them into close proximity in a tiny Pennsylvania town where even the bald eagle has an attitude problem, and waits for the sparks to fly. Mistakes Were Made by Lucy Score is the second installment in the Story Lake series, following the wildly popular Story of My Life, which introduced readers to romance novelist Hazel Hart and grumpy contractor Campbell Bishop. This time around, the spotlight shifts to Hazel’s best friend and literary agent, Zoey Moody, and Cam’s equally handsome but far more buttoned-up brother, Gage Bishop. If Story of My Life was a warm hug of a debut, this sequel is its louder, messier, more emotionally complicated sister who shows up …

The latest Pixar film, Hoppers, is earning rave reviews from critics. The animated original, which arrives in theaters March 6, follows 19-year-old environmentalist Mabel who “hops” into the mind of a beaver before attempting to help a colony save their habitat in a plot that has drawn comparisons to Avatar.

Charli xcx film The Moment’s first reviews – Rotten Tomatoes score

Charli xcx film The Moment’s first reviews – Rotten Tomatoes score

The first reviews are in for Charli xcx’s new mockumentary film The Moment – and the verdicts are mixed. The film follows a pop star (Charli), who plays a fictionalised version of herself, as she embarks on her first arena tour amid the monumental success of her new album. Alongside Charli, the film also stars the likes of Kylie Jenner, Alexander Skarsgard and Rosanna Arquette. Following its premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, the film has received mixed reviews from critics, with Screen Rant calling it “a horribly misguided mockumentary” The reviewer said: “As best as I can understand it, The Moment is a film about Charli xcx terrified of being perceived as too cringe. “The film neither works as straight comedy nor as a tense character drama.” The Guardian praised the film’s “smart idea”, but added: “There is too little risk – in the defanged satire, in the muddled thematic sprawl, even in a late-stage satirical swing that, for this fan, jumped the shark – to rise above its sharp-eyed construction.” The Moment …

Netflix cancels show with 94% Rotten Tomatoes score

Netflix has cancelled The Vince Staples Show, despite the critical acclaim that earned the series a score of 94% on reviews aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. The series followed a fictionalized version of Compton-born rapper Vince Staples and ran for two seasons from 2024 to 2025. Deadline reported that the show’s viewership significantly declined between its first season, which was watched 4.6 million times in its first four months, and its second, which was watched 1.7 million times between its release in November 2025 and the end of the year, with the vast majority of streaming views expected to occur within the first 90 days. The show was set in Long Beach, California, where Staples grew up. In 2021, he told The Independent that his experience there gave him perspective and that rapping was a crucial escape. “Coming from where I come from and what I was doing prior to music, and what a lot of my family and friends are subjected to,” he said, with typical candor, “I can only be grateful [for music].” open …
