Was Michael Rousseau, the CEO (well, soon-to-be-former CEO) of Air Canada just fired? Well, not officially, but it certainly looks like he was forced out. It was on March 30th that the airline’s Board of Directors announced that Rousseau would be retiring by the end of the third quarter of 2026, after “nearly two decades of strong and dedicated leadership.”

Amazon MGM Studios has given the long-awaited sequel Spaceballs 2 a release date of April 23, 2027. The film, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper) and written by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, has a storyline that’s being kept secret, but I think we can expect a fan-fueled and dedicated follow-up to the first 1987 cult Mel Brooks-directed and starring feature.Returning cast members include Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wynder and Daphne Zuniga with new thespians including Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman and Anthony Carrigan. I honestly love every single member of this cast, but I am a little emotional about one in particular. I grew up repeatedly watching and loving Little Shop of Horrors, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Parenthood, and Ghostbusters, and I have been waiting for Rick Moranis to return to acting for a long time. I’m so excited to see him return to the screen for this film! With the release date set, we should be seeing photos soon, and hopefully a trailer in the next few months. Stay tuned for updates.

Hammersmith Apollo, LondonThe sitcom star and Taskmaster stalwart is on commanding form as she embarks on Older Than Jesus, her first – and deeply daft – standup tourThat staple realisation of early midlife, that one has now lived longer than Jesus did, usually hits around aged 33. Aisling Bea is 42, and only just getting round to performing Older Than Jesus – a show, or at least a title, you suspect may have been long in the planning. Fair enough: what with hit sitcoms here and a Taskmaster stint there, the County Kildare import has only now embarked on her first standup tour. But there’s nothing rookie about the 75 minutes offered up here: Bea is on commanding and fun-loving form with a set assembling the thoughts prompted by (and sometimes even related to) her recent “accidental pregnancy” and becoming a mum.Lest that suggest maturity on the show’s part, let me cheerfully note that Bea comes across as unreconstructedly daft and self-involved as ever. Whether she’s recalling a childhood fashioning DIY Dairylea spreadables with secondhand “bodies of Christ”, acting out at the wrap party for a duff Take That movie, or moonlighting as a dad at her sister’s antenatal class, the keynote is always cartoon egotism and a keen sense of her own ridiculousness. Putting her back out when performing a “slut drop”, or later curating the playlist to her own C-section, we’re invited to savour the contrast between the glamourpuss Bea of her own fervent imagination, and the less Insta-friendly reality.
