Team USA hockey stars Hilary Knight and Megan Keller reunited with men’s team members Jack and Quinn Hughes on Saturday Night Live to poke fun at the women’s feud with President Donald Trump.

“It was going to be just [me and Megan] but we thought we’d invite the guys too,” Knight told SNL guest host and Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie on Saturday, February 28, to loud applause.

Storrie — who plays Russian hockey star Ilya Rozanov on Heated Rivalry — was first joined on stage by the Hughes brothers after praising the “amazing players’ from Team USA hockey during the Milan and Cortina Winter Olympic Games.

“I don’t think I pulled it off,” he said of his portrayal of a hockey star.

President Donald Trump made reference to the U.S. women’s hockey team during his 2026 State of the Union address after they declined the White House’s invitation.  While Trump, 79, was discussing how much the United States has been “winning” during his Tuesday, February 24, speech, he brought out the Team USA’s men’s hockey team out […]

Quinn and Jack — the latter of whom was still sporting a toothless grin after an injury in the gold medal game — interrupted Storrie, 26, to assure him he did a “great” job on Heated Rivalry.

“We’ve been so busy playing that we haven’t had time to see your show yet,” Jack, 24, admitted, with Quinn, 26, chiming in: “It’s about hockey, right?”

Storrie waited a beat before answering: “Kind of.”

The Heated Rivalry actor joked that his character Ilya may have “metaphorically” had his teeth knocked out like Jack, though likely for different reasons. Knight, 36, and Keller, 29, then showed up to assure Storrie that they’d “seen your show.”

Knight got her joke in about President Trump’s snub before Keller quipped that she wanted to give the boys “a little moment to shine” by coming out first on SNL.

“It’s very important,” Storrie agreed. “My show speaks to people who are not always represented in hockey so this is great to have actual hockey legends here tonight.”

Jack pointed out that it had been 46 years since the USA Hockey men’s team won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.

“And the last time we did that was two whole Olympics ago,” Knight added to a huge cheer from the studio audience.

“Nice burn,” Jack admitted. “These gold medals aren’t just for us. They’re for all hockey fans.”

It has been an eventful week for the men and women of USA Hockey. On Sunday, February 22, the Hughes brothers took home a gold medal after an overtime victory against Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.

The team’s win was almost immediately shrouded in controversy when FBI director Kash Patel joined the men in their locker room to celebrate the medal win. President Trump called to congratulate the men and made a crack about the Team USA women’s hockey players, who also won a gold medal in Milan and Cortina.

After inviting the men to visit the White House and attend his State of the Union speech, Trump quipped, “We have medals for you guys. I must tell you, we‘re going to have to bring the women’s team. [If I don’t invite them] I do believe I probably would be impeached.”

Several of the men’s players were seen laughing at Trump’s joke. Quinn later denied that there was any tension between the men and women’s teams.

“I’m glad you mentioned the women’s team again,” Quinn told Good Morning America on Tuesday. “We’re extremely happy for them. There’s a lot going on on social media right now surrounding our team and [the women’s team].”

He went on, “In the last couple summers, we did a lot of training with them and got to know [them] really well.”

His brother Jack reiterated his and Quinn’s support for the women’s team during a press conference on Wednesday, February 25.

“We have so much respect for the women’s team,” Jack said. “They have so much respect for us. We’re all just proud Americans. We’re happy that we both swept the Olympics.”

Jack and Quinn’s mother Ellen Hughes — who is a consultant for USA Hockey — subsequently downplayed the political significance of the men’s team partying with Patel and attending the State of the Union speech

“I think at the end of the day, it’s just about the country and the moment that these players, both the men and women, can bring so much unity to a group and to a country,” Ellen, 56, told Today on Tuesday. “People that cheered on that don’t watch hockey, people that have politics on one side or on the other side. And that’s all both the men’s team and the women’s team care about.”

Ellen argued that there is a camaraderie between the men and women’s hockey teams that transcends any potential political divide.

“If you could see what we see from the inside and the men and women sharing, you know, dorm rooms and halls and flex floors and the camaraderie and the synergy, and the way the women cheered on the men and the way the men cheered on the women,” she insisted. “That’s what it’s all about.”

She added, “The other things, they cannot control. They care about humanity. They care about unity and they care about the country. I hope everybody just understands what we did in the moment, both the men and women to bring this country together and let everybody cheer in the same direction.”

As the Team USA men’s hockey team stays embroiled in controversy, one apparently disgruntled fan has left a defaced Quinn Hughes jersey at the Hockey Hall of Fame. The jersey, whose photo is making the rounds via X, was from Hughes’ days with the Vancouver Canucks. It’s ripped down the middle with vulgar phrases written […]

Jack and Quinn were among the Team USA men’s hockey players to visit the White House and attend Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday. During his remarks, Trump brought out the men’s team and credited them for making “the entire nation proud.” (Trump also mentioned the women’s gold medal victory and said they would “soon be coming to the White House.”)

The next day, Knight tackled the controversy over Trump’s initial snub during a press conference, calling his joke “distasteful and unfortunate.”

“I think, just the way women are represented, it’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats,” she told reporters. “And now I sort of have to sit, or anybody has to sit in front of you and explain someone else’s behavior. It’s not my responsibility.”

Saturday Night Live continues on NBC March 7 at 11.30 p.m. ET with host Ryan Gosling and musical guests Gorillaz.

Nique Teases Upcoming Interview As Her Mother Claps Back At Critics

Speculation surrounding Nique and NBA YoungBoy dates back to November 2025, when the rapper released ‘Zero IQ Freestyle.’ Many users believed a lyric from the song appeared to be referencing Nique after tweets from Yaya Mayweather and Jania Meshell sparked online speculation.

Now that Nique is featured in his latest video, fans are revisiting those rumors.

Following the release of ‘Highly,’ Nique took to X with a cryptic tweet teasing an upcoming interview with the rapper and his wife, Jaz. She wrote, “The previous obviously was blind, Jaz is literally the key! ☕️ I’m interviewing them together either on a baseball field or court.” She ended the post with, “✨ Get ready.”

Her mother, Mama Cindy, also stepped into The Shade Room Teens’ comment section to defend her daughter. She appeared to deny claims that Nique and Jania were ever close friends and pushed back against criticism directed at her child.

Ex Machina is without a doubt one of the best sci-movies of the 2010s, as not only was it a critical success upon its 2014 premiere, but it also received major awards recognition, including for its director, Alex Garland. You may recognize Garland from his work on Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and its 2025 sequel, 28 Years Later, both of which he received praise for writing. Meanwhile, the screenwriter made his directorial debut with Ex Machina, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and winning three British Independent Film Awards.

Since then, the notable filmmaker has directed several more gripping works, some of which couldn’t beat the success of his first sci-fi thriller. Among these is his most divisive movie, which is about to be easier to stream, four years after its release. Starring Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley, Men has been added to HBO Max’s March 1, 2026, lineup, joining a boatload of addictive titles of all genres. The surrealist movie was released in the U.S. on May 20, 2022, by A24 and later in the U.K. on June 1 of that year by Entertainment Film Distributors.

How Well Do You Know Alex Garland’s Most Divisive Movie?

Buckley portrays a terrorized widow, Harper Marlowe, in Men, who, in the aftermath of her husband’s suicide, retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to have found a place to heal. However, someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her, and soon what begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears. Also starring in the film are Rory Kinnear, who portrays every strange man in the village, and Paapa Essiedu as James Marlowe, Harper’s late husband.

Upon Men’s release, it received generally positive reviews, but its narrative approach was heavily criticized. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 69% critics’ rating, while the audience has given it a disappointing 40%. As for its financial status, the folk horror movie, released alongside Downton Abbey: A New Era, made $3.3 million in its opening weekend, finishing fifth at the box office. Ultimately, it grossed $7.6 million in North America and $3.6 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $11.2 million.

Men will be available to watch on HBO Max in March. Follow Collider for further streaming news.

It’s been over a decade since one of the most expensive fantasy sequels made its way to theaters and flopped hard. Also labeled a comedy, the film was made on a $175 million budget with production involving the use of several visual effects companies to provide CGI. Not only is it one of the most expensive fantasy sequels, but it also became the most expensive comedy film ever at the end of production, to be later overtaken by Men in Black 3.

Starring Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman, this fantasy comedy is about to find new audiences as it is now available on a major streaming home. Evan Almighty is that expensive sequel that just landed on HBO Max on March 1, 2026, 19 years after it was released by Universal Pictures on June 22, 2007. The movie is a spin-off and sequel of the 2003 box office hit Bruce Almighty, starring Jim Carrey. Similar to the first installment, Evan Almighty was directed by Tom Shadyac, while Steve Oedekerk, who co-wrote the original, returned as screenwriter.

‘Evan Almighty’ Is an Expensive Fantasy Sequel!

Despite being an expensive production with double the budget of its predecessor, Evan Almighty was a box office failure, grossing only $174.4 million worldwide. This is a huge gap from Bruce Almighty, which earned $86.4 million in its opening weekend and had an overall gross of $484 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2003. Still, both fantasy films were critical flops, with Evan Almighty earning 24% on Rotten Tomatoes, half of Bruce Almighty’s 48%.

Carell and Freeman reprise their roles as Evan Baxter and God, respectively, in the 2007 spin-off, which is a modern-day retelling of Noah’s Ark, that Evan reluctantly re-enacts on God’s behalf while he also pursues a new career in government. Other stars featured in Evan Almighty are Lauren Graham, John Goodman, John Michael Higgins, Wanda Sykes, Jonah Hill, Johnny Simmons, Graham Phillips, Jimmy Bennett, Molly Shannon, Ed Helms, and Harve Presnell.

Evan Almighty is now streaming on HBO Max. Stick with Collider for the latest streaming updates.

Something nice is happening right now. People are remembering that Regina Hall is talented. Like, can do it all, laugh-out-loud comedy and Oscar-nominated dramatics, talented. If you’re one of those people and One Battle After Another is what finally made it click for you, that’s genuinely fine – better late than never is a real thing. But if we’re talking bandwagon acrobatics, may we direct you to one of the actor’s most underrated catalog entries, Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.?

It’s got everything you could want from a sharp, religious satire dressed up as a mockumentary. A Southern Baptist megachurch. A sexual misconduct scandal. An extremely ill-advised documentary about the comeback attempt. Sterling K. Brown playing an egotistical preacher who absolutely believes his own press. Hall as Trinitie, his First Lady – put together, loyal, desperate to clean up her husband’s very large mess. It’s on Netflix. It’s been waiting patiently. Here’s your sign to hit play.

A Megachurch Mockumentary That’s All Kinds of Awkward

Honk for Jesus is technically a mockumentary, which means there’s a documentary crew following around a very public couple during a very public image rehab campaign. The couple in question: Trinitie and Lee-Curtis Childs, once the glamorous leaders of a Southern Baptist megachurch that has recently been rocked by scandal. Attendance has plummeted. The vibes are undoubtedly off. And yet, the closet full of designer suits stays color-coordinated.

Brown plays Lee-Curtis as a charming, slippery snake-oil salesman who’s absolutely certain this is all temporary. He’s puffed up with just the right amount of charisma and animal magnetism to make the theory that his lavish lifestyle is, in fact, funded by the donation plate plausible. (Who wouldn’t tithe it all away for those pearly whites?) While he’s hamming it up for the camera, Hall’s got a harder job. Trinitie is in a midlife crisis of her own as a woman figuring out who she is when the thing she built her identity around starts falling apart. And director Adamma Ebo indulges in the artifice of it all, making the most of his chosen format to mine every bit of cringe she can from confessionals gone sideways and hot-mic pick-ups and long-lens shots that make the audience feel like peeping toms. It’s sharp without being preachy, awkward, uncomfortable, and very, very funny.

Regina Hall: Saved, Sanctified, Slightly Spiraling

But let’s talk about Hall, because this is really her movie.

Trinitie stays dressed like the congregation might repopulate at any second. Her hair is immaculate, her tailoring aggressive. She sweeps through echoing hallways with full Sunday-morning confidence as Hall gives her a hyper-specific precision that makes you think every smile and wave has been workshopped a dozen times already. What’s so fun to watch is how Trinitie performs for the camera while clearly having an entirely separate internal monologue. She’ll deliver a gracious, holier-than-thou soundbite about forgiveness, then flick her eyes toward the documentary crew like she’s begging for a life raft to be thrown. It’s a comedy performance built on micro-expressions and Hall sells it all so effortlessly that you start paying more attention to her pauses than the bigger punchlines.

Opposite her, Brown gives Lee-Curtis the kind of glossy sheen that explains how he raised this megachurch in the first place. He is very committed to the idea that this is all just a temporary setback, enough so that he strips to his skivvies to be baptized and born again, displays his Prada suits for the camera, and compares his comeback to that of another born brawler – Rocky Balboa (but the second movie, y’all).

A striking performance of few words.

The dynamic between him and Hall is where the movie really hums. They have the chemistry of two people who have spent years presenting a united front. When they argue, it’s not a dramatic showdown, but a PR meeting that’s two seconds away from going off the rails. Brown’s Lee-Curtis is delusionally confident and frustratingly dismissive of the real-world consequences of his actions, while his wife, Hall’s Trinitie, is masking sheer panic and suffocating misery behind a brittle smile that only falters when she thinks the camera’s not trained on her.

The movie is smart enough not to turn her into a saint. Trinitie has enjoyed the perks of this empire. She likes the big house. She likes the clothes. She likes being First Lady. And Hall never pretends otherwise, which makes the performance sharper and more human. You can see her weighing loyalty against self-preservation in every interaction, calculating what she can afford to lose and what she refuses to give up because of her husband’s indiscretions.

‘Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul’ Is a Hilarious Comedy Worth a Watching

If you are worried this is going to be two hours of easy megachurch jokes, it’s not. The humor is more observational than slapstick, and that’s mostly because the mockumentary format lets the awkwardness breathe. There are long pauses. There are straight-to-cameras that start confident and end slightly off-balance, and moments when you can tell a character is saying one thing and thinking another.

Hall thrives in that gray area. She has always been good at comedy that has a little bite to it, and here she layers that skill with something more vulnerable. A joke will land, and then half a second later, you realize there is something sad underneath it. If anything, this film serves as proof that Hall has never had to choose between comedy and drama. She’s been blending them for years. She just needed a character big enough and complicated enough to show off her full range.

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul may not have dominated the discourse when it first came out, but it has aged into a very satisfying watch. It is sharp about public image and private compromise without turning into a lecture. It gives Sterling K. Brown room to be charming and maddening at the same time. But most importantly, it gives Regina Hall a character who is funny, proud, anxious, controlled, and slowly fraying around the edges. If you are in the mood for something that will make you laugh and then immediately rethink why you’re laughing, this is it. And if you are newly obsessed with Hall’s ability to do absolutely everything, this will only deepen the fixation.

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is now streaming on Netflix in the U.S.
