The Monthly March 2025
Three things to know. Two trailers to watch. One article to read. Here’s what you need to know for this month.
We did it. It’s the end of March. After a February that flew by so fast I forgot to publish The Monthly on time, March definitely felt like its full 31 days. It was a month full of pop culture news — including the launch of The Omnicosm, the official home of Popculturology and Snackology.
OK, let’s get to the three stories you need to know, two trailers you need to watch and one article you need to read.

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
I guess Ted Lasso didn’t die on that plane
Let’s be real here: The final season of Ted Lasso was bad.
“I enjoyed the first two seasons of Ted Lasso. The show was a bright spot during the pandemic. All that goodwill from those seasons, though, isn’t enough to excuse the mess of this season — no matter how hard the season (series?) finale tries to cram everything into a neat, happy ending,” I wrote back when the show’s third season wrapped up. “I want to say I’m going to miss these characters if the show is over, but after a season full of episodes that were way too long, they’ve overstayed their welcome.”
The folks over at Apple TV+ (the same ones who are running a service that’s lost $1 billion a year) clearly know something I don’t, with the announcement coming this month that Ted Lasso is returning for a fourth season.
