By Denise Petski, Nellie Andreeva

Fresh off its Oscar victory for “Parasite,” Neon has acquired worldwide rights to “Spaceship Earth,” an acclaimed documentary about the construction of a biosphere. The film had its world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for the grand jury prize.

Yes, the shortened Oscars season has left film folks exhausted, but now that it's over, industry execs and talent alike can finally enjoy February's three-day President's Day weekend (four days if you're throwing in Friday's Valentine's Day).

Andy Samberg stopped by The Tonight Show on Monday (Feb. 3) to high-kick his way into a '70s funk parody with host Jimmy Fallon.Dressed in matching bell-bottomed jumpsuits, the two Saturday Night Live vets delivered a hilarious performance of their new song "High Kickin'," detailing their love for a good high kick and the problems associated with the action -- from Samberg getting fired at Footlocker for kicking his boss to the pair kicking over a platter of sandwiches mid-song.

Andy Samberg time-loop comedy “Palm Springs” broke sales records (by the cheeky sum of 69¢), and “Taylor Swift: Miss Americana” inspired a mini mob scene at an otherwise star-starved Sundance.

The Sundance Film Festival is fighting a battle that’s been building for several years, and what it’s fighting for can be summed up in one word: relevance. What makes a Sundance movie relevant?

In the words of the brilliant adventurer-physicist Buckaroo Banzai, "Wherever you go, there you are." This holds true even if where you're going is, as a somewhat less brilliant voyager puts it, "one of those infinite-time-loop situations you mighta heard about." That lesser intellect is Andy Samberg's Nyles, stuck in a rut in Max Barbakow's thoroughly enjoyable rom-com Palm Springs.
