Everything New on HBO Max in March

HBO and HBO Max are promoting a new limited series called DTF St. Louis, starring Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini, and David Harbour. The show, which begins streaming on March 1st, centers around a love triangle between three adults going through a midlife crisis, and one of them ultimately dies.

In March, the show The Comeback, starring Lisa Kudrow, is returning for a third season. The sitcom originally aired on HBO in 2005 for one season, then had a second season in 2014. Now, after another 12 years, it’s back for what’s expected to be its final season. The show centers around Kudrow’s character, a former sitcom star.

This month, you can enjoy the new comedy series Fackham Hall, a spoof of Downton Abbey. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something more serious (and perhaps a bit bleak), there’s a new documentary detailing the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

The 10 Worst Original Songs Written for Movie Musicals

“I Move On” from Chicago (2002)

“I Move On” isn’t a bad song, but it doesn’t really add anything to the movie. It’s a jazzy ballad about chasing dreams and freedom, which feels surprisingly generic for a musical about famous murderers. The lyrics are short and don’t offer any new ideas presented elsewhere in the show, and it’s filled with awkward comparisons and strange phrases—it’s hard to tell if it’s supposed to be sung by a glamorous movie star or a rock musician. It’s no surprise this forgettable song was relegated to playing over the end credits.

“Learn to Be Lonely” from The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

Okay, so here’s something kinda strange about the Phantom of the Opera movie. You actually don’t get to hear Minnie Driver, who plays Carlotta, sing until the end credits roll! Apparently, the song “Learn to Be Lonely” is the only one where it’s actually her voice – someone else sang Carlotta’s parts in the movie itself. It’s a pretty tune, but the way it sounds – more guitar-driven than the rest of the score – and where they put it in the film just feels a little off. Fun fact, though: Beyoncé performed it at the Oscars, and it was even nominated for Best Original Song!

“Suddenly” from Les Misérables (2012)

It’s normal for musicals to repeat themes in songs, but the added song “Suddenly” in the movie Les Misérables feels particularly out of place. Though intended to show Hugh Jackman’s character’s happiness and sense of duty towards Cosette, the scene – filmed entirely within a small carriage – drags on and makes you wish Russell Crowe would reappear.

“Who Am I” from Annie (2014)

Okay, so the 2014 Annie remake really tried to give the classic songs a modern update – think new beats and a generally more contemporary sound. They brought in Sia and Greg Kurstin to handle it, and they even wrote three new tracks: “Opportunity,” “MoonQuake Lake,” and “Who Am I.” Honestly, those new songs weren’t particularly memorable, but the real problem with the movie was the overuse of autotune. Seriously, it was bad. It made Cameron Diaz sound like she was trying to channel T-Pain! Even when Diaz, Quvenzhané Wallis, and Jamie Foxx – who can sing, by the way – were doing those digitally corrected harmonies on “Who Am I,” it just didn’t work. The autotune just ruined everything.

“Evermore” from Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Let’s talk about the music – specifically, the jarring autotune used in Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast remake. The original song “Evermore” was particularly painful to listen to. This movie really highlighted the need for Disney to cast actual singers in these demanding roles. While Dan Stevens and Emma Watson are talented actors, they struggled with the vocals, especially in a big-budget production like this one. Stevens’ performance as the Beast was heavily modified, and it was most noticeable during “Evermore.” The song lost the emotional depth that could have come from the Beast’s decision to let Belle go.

“Speechless” from Aladdin (2019)

While Dan Stevens struggled with the singing in the live-action Aladdin, Naomi Scott is a genuinely talented vocalist. However, the new original song written for her, “Speechless,” didn’t showcase her voice very well. Songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul aimed to give Princess Jasmine a powerful moment with a song about her anger at being trapped by Jafar and her refusal to be silenced. Unfortunately, the song itself is rather bland. It lacks the clever lyrics of songs like “Prince Ali” or “Friend Like Me,” and the emotional impact of “A Whole New World,” making it easily forgettable compared to the originals. The song also feels awkwardly placed in the movie, as the story essentially pauses during Jasmine’s performance, almost making it feel unnecessary.

“Beautiful Ghosts” from Cats (2019)

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats is famous for its song “Memory,” but the movie version added another new song, “Beautiful Ghosts,” right after it. Written by Webber and Taylor Swift, and performed by Francesca Hayward, the song feels out of place following the emotional weight of “Memory.” It undermines the impact of Grizabella’s heartfelt performance about the pain of aging and losing beauty, essentially telling her that at least she has memories to look back on.

“A Little Closer” from Dear Evan Hansen (2021)

While the Dear Evan Hansen movie has several flaws, the song “A Little Closer” feels particularly awkward. Sung by Colton Ryan as the deceased Connor Murphy (shown in a video from a recovery facility), it unexpectedly shifts the focus away from Evan’s story, which the film otherwise tries to center. To make matters worse, during the song, we see Ben Platt reading Connor’s supposed “favorite books” – titles that are commonly assigned in high school. The movie tries to create a meaningful moment, but most viewers will recognize books like The Giver as standard school reading.

“What Ifs” from Mean Girls (2024)

Angourie Rice, a capable actress, unfortunately struggles in the lead role of the Mean Girls musical, largely due to heavy autotune. Her introduction as Cady Heron is underwhelming. The opening song, “What Ifs,” aims to establish her desires and situation, but it falls flat. Rice’s voice doesn’t quite fit the energetic style of the musical, and the song itself is surprisingly dull. The lyrics – about dreaming of the future and not looking back – feel generic and disconnected from the actual story. Thankfully, the more lively number, “Meet the Plastics,” is coming up next.

“The Girl in the Bubble” from Wicked: For Good (2025)

The movie Wicked: For Good tried to justify splitting the story into two parts by adding new songs to the second film, seemingly just to make it longer. The sequel focuses on giving the character Glinda more depth and background, and the song “The Girl in the Bubble” feels like a last-ditch effort to make her more sympathetic. However, Glinda is already understandable and relatable, so the extra song feels unnecessary and only adds to the film’s length. It comes across as a clear attempt to attract Oscar attention, but it didn’t even succeed.
