What I Watched in March 2026
March was busy. Between work, the database, and way too many late nights — I still managed to watch some great stuff. Here's the honest rundown.
March hit different this year. I had a lot going on with spameri.cz — new blog writers, new features, the usual chaos. But movies don't wait for you to be ready.
Project Hail Mary
This was the big one. I went to the theater for Project Hail Mary on opening weekend and I'm glad I did. Ryan Gosling alone in space, solving impossible problems — it's basically how I feel debugging Elasticsearch at 2 AM. The science is fun, the alien is surprisingly emotional, and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller proved they can do more than animation comedy. $80 million opening weekend? Deserved.
I read the book two years ago. The movie is different but captures the same feeling. That's enough for me.
Hoppers
Pixar's Hoppers was everywhere this month. I watched it with friends and it's solid — not top-tier Pixar, but fun. The animation is beautiful. The story does its job. Sometimes that's all you need on a Saturday afternoon.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Cillian Murphy back as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. I binged the original series years ago during a Factorio break (yes, I take breaks from Factorio to watch gangster shows, not the other way around). The movie wraps things up nicely. Barry Keoghan is perfect casting as Duke. Rebecca Ferguson adds something the series always needed — a character who can match Tommy's intensity without being predictable.
Watched this on Netflix the week it dropped. No regrets.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 started airing this month. I'm three episodes in. It's darker than Season 1 and better for it. Charlie Cox still owns this role. Not going to spoil anything, but the courtroom scenes are back and they're great.
Rooster
The surprise of the month: Rooster on HBO. Steve Carell as a high school teacher. It's funny but it has weight. Bill Lawrence knows how to mix comedy and genuine emotion (he did the same thing with Shrinking). Three episodes in, already hooked.
Wicked: For Good
Wicked Part Two hit streaming on Peacock this month. I saw Part One in theaters back in November 2024. The sequel lands the ending. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are phenomenal. Not my usual genre — I'm more of a sci-fi and thriller guy — but good is good.
The Database Side
Every movie I watch ends up in the spameri.cz database eventually. March added a bunch of 2026 titles to the catalog. If you're curious about any of these films — cast, ratings, connections — check them out on the site. That's literally why I built it.
The Verdict
Best thing I watched in March: Project Hail Mary. No contest. Biggest surprise: Rooster. Most nostalgic: Peaky Blinders.
April is going to be stacked too. But that's a problem for future me. Right now I need to go fix a search index that's been bugging me since Tuesday.
