Wait, thats Jonah Hill? The Outcome makeover turns the actor unrecognizable
On Feb. 3, Apple Studios rolled out a comprehensive press day, and Mashable was there for all the breaking news on Apple TV shows like Pluribus, Sugar, and Margo’s Got Money Troubles, as well as upcoming films like the Keanu Reeves-fronted comedy Outcome. And it’s a first look at that dark comedy that has drawn a lot of attention online, particularly from Jonah Hill fans.
Directed by Hill, Outcome centers on an adored Hollywood star named Reef Hawk (Reeves) whose reputation is threatened by a blackmailer with a mysterious video. Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer co-star, as does Hill. And it was the first look images of Hill that surprised the internet.
At the event itself (as you can see above), Hill sported thick glasses, short hair, and an auburn beard. This is fairly similar to how he looked in his last directorial effort, the 2022 documentary about his therapist, Stutz, and in the 2023 Eddie Murphy vehicle You People.

However, in the production stills from Outcome, Hill is hard to clock opposite Reeves. Check it out:

In profile with a shaved head and gray beard, Hill breaks from what audiences have come to expect of his onscreen appearance. So, already Outcome has some added mystique. Mashable’s Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards shared that Hill plays a crisis lawyer hired by Reeve’s character in the film. But could this new look mark a new chapter in Hill’s career, either as an actor or director?
We should know soon, as Hill has two movies slated for 2026 release, both of which he directs and co-stars in. (He also shares screenwriting credit on both films with Ezra Woods.) On top of Outcome, he’s also got Cut Off, a dramedy about two rich siblings (Hill and Kristen Wiig) whose lives take a turn when their parents cut off their financial support. Cut Off doesn’t yet have a release date. Outcome hits Apple TV on April 10.
How to watch: Outcome premieres April 10 on Apple TV.

$646.20

Planning a trip often comes with a familiar thought: I wish I knew at least a little of the language. And it makes sense. Learning to speak the language is a surefire way to enjoy your trip more.
Babbel makes it easier to learn, and a lifetime access is just $159 (reg. $646.20) with the StackSocial code LEARN.
Mashable Deals
Babbel focuses on helping users build practical conversation skills, not just memorize vocabulary. Lessons are designed by more than 100 linguists and structured around real-world scenarios — like ordering food, asking for directions, or navigating transportation. The idea is to help learners feel more comfortable actually speaking, not just recognizing words on a screen.
Lessons typically run 10 to 15 minutes, making it easier to fit learning into a daily routine without the overwhelm. Over time, that consistency can add up, and many users find they can handle basic conversations within a few weeks. A key part of the experience is its speech recognition technology, which helps guide pronunciation. Instead of guessing how something should sound, learners can practice speaking and get feedback along the way.
Mashable Trend Report
There’s also an AI-powered conversation feature that allows users to simulate real dialogue, helping bridge the gap between studying and actual communication.
The subscription includes access to 14 languages. With offline access, personalized review sessions, and a focus on everyday topics, Babbel positions itself as a practical tool for building language confidence.
Don’t miss getting lifetime access to Babbel for a one-time $159 payment (reg. $646.20) with the StackSocial code LEARN.

Clean, restock, refresh — all with one $15 Sam’s Club membership
TL;DR: A $15 Sam’s Club membership can help streamline your spring refresh with bulk essentials and lifestyle finds.
Spring tends to bring a long list of to-dos — organizing closets, kitchens, outdoor spaces, and even office setups. It’s also a time when shopping trips can start to add up.
A one-year Sam’s Club membership for $15 (reg. $50) through March 29 offers a way to streamline that process by bringing a wide range of essentials into one place.
Mashable Deals
Rather than bouncing between multiple stores, members can access groceries, household goods, seasonal outdoor items, clothing, and more in a single trip. For anyone tackling a spring refresh, that convenience alone may help save time and simplify planning.
Mashable Trend Report
Bulk purchasing is another key advantage. Buying larger quantities of frequently used items — like pantry staples, cleaning supplies, or paper goods — can help reduce the cost per unit over time. For families, that can translate into fewer midweek store runs.
For small business owners or home-based entrepreneurs, it can also support more predictable inventory and supply management. Beyond products, membership includes additional perks that add value. These include discounts on travel, which is a fan favorite. There’s also a practical side to having fewer errands on your list. Consolidating shopping into fewer trips can free up time for other priorities, whether that’s work, family, or simply enjoying the season.
Don’t miss getting a one-year Sam’s Club Membership for just $15 (reg. $50) through March 29 with code MARCH15.

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for March 24, 2026
The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult if you’re planning to get married.
Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that’s captured the public’s attention. The game is all about finding the “common threads between words.” And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we’ve served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.
If you just want to be told today’s puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today’s Connections solution. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
What is Connections?
The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications’ Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.
