About this episode

The episode discusses what to watch and avoid in the summer movie season, highlighting both major blockbusters and lesser-known films.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what to watch and what to absolutely avoid at the movies this summer. From the big, obvious blockbusters we’ll begrudgingly all watch to the under-the-radar releases we’re cautiously optimistic about, we’ve got you covered. We’ll tell you what’s worth your time, your money, and most importantly, your precious air-conditioned theater hours.
