This week’s episode is packed with box office talk, blockbuster trailers, sci-fi discussion, and one of our favorite movie debates yet.

We kick things off with a Summer Movie Wager, looking at the biggest winners and surprises of the season so far and discussing which films have overperformed, underperformed, and what the rest of the summer could still have in store. We also talk about the news that Spider-Man: Brand New Day was shot for ScreenX theaters, what that means for the viewing experience, and whether premium formats are becoming an even bigger part of modern moviegoing.

In Trailer Talk, we react to the first looks at Shrek 5 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including the reveal of Hulkand what his appearance could mean for the next chapter of Spider-Man's story. We discuss our excitement levels, theories, and whether these trailers lived up to the hype.

Our Feature Discussion is all about Disclosure Day. We dive into the film's themes, performances, and overall impressions, breaking down what worked, what surprised us, and where it lands among this year's releases.

To wrap things up, Luis, Ed, and Miguel each reveal their Top 10 Steven Spielberg Movies of All Time. From beloved classics and blockbuster adventures to personal favorites and a few hot takes, we compare lists, defend our rankings, and celebrate one of the greatest filmmakers in cinema history.

A fun episode filled with box office chatter, trailer reactions, movie reviews, and plenty of Spielberg love.

We tear into the trailer for The End of Oak Street - some of us are over this style of trailer for sure, but dinosaurs? Anne Hathaway? Come on!
