Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, TV, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on “Boyfriend on Demand”, “Slanted”, “Steel Ball Run JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, and “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man”.
- Boyfriend on Demand – Trailer
If you were single and only had 3.5 hours of free time every day, then would you spend that time in virtual reality and dating “digital” boyfriends? That’s the life of the character Blackpink’s Ji-soo will be playing in “Boyfriend on Demand”. And who can blame her when you’ve got iconic men in Korean entertainment like Jay Park playing these boyfriends.
Release Date: On Netflix on March 6, 2026
Synopsis: Boyfriend on Demand follows exhausted webtoon producer Mi-rae who escapes reality through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation program, where she gets to experience the dates of her dream. Blending the relatable challenges of daily work life and a never-before-seen virtual reality dating subscription program, Boyfriend on Demand is a unique take on the romantic comedy series.
- Slanted – Trailer
“Have you ever suffered the injustice of being a person of color in this world?” Damn. They went there. This film centers on a prom queen plot line with an ethnic modification twist. And if you’re wondering what those two words mean together, in other words, transracial surgery. The Only Critic says it best “Mean Girls meets The Substance”. I’m excited for this movie that’s clearly bold in its commentary while finding ways to get its quips in, like “Get tickets to a Michael Buble concert. That experience as a white person will change your life.”
Release Date: In theaters on March 13, 2026
Synopsis: Joan Huang idolizes the popular girls and dreams of being prom queen, but fears the only way to win is to look like all the past queens whose portraits line her high school halls. Enter Ethnos: a mysterious cosmetic surgery clinic that makes people of color appear white. Joan undergoes the procedure and wakes up a beautiful blonde destined for the crown, but at what cost?

The latest chapter (Part 7) in the anime adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure takes us to the summer of 1890 with Johnny Joestar, a paralyzed horse jockey, aiming to participate in the Steel Ball Run Race across America, against a colorful cast of rivals and foes, especially one Diego Brando.
Release Date: On Netflix on March 19, 2026
Synopsis: It’s 1890, in America, the Steel Ball Run — the first horse racing championship across the North American continent — was about to begin. Spanning around 4,000 miles, the race offered 50 million dollars as the winning prize. Johnny Joestar, once being hailed as a genius jockey, is now paralysed and lost in despair.

Each having their own goal in mind, the two form an alliance and set foot upon the grueling adventure and race.
