Sitting Around Talking Movies

Even the calendar says it's officially summer now. And in Hollywood that means it's time for sequels and remakes. And before you say "oh please, no more sequels," keep in mind that one of them - "Inside Out 2" is making money like crazy. So obviously people are coming out to see it even though it's a sequel. And even though the original came out nine years ago in 2015, this one follows Riley, now in her teenage years, encountering new emotions. And speaking of animated sequels, here comes "Despicable Me 4" in which Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, and Agnes welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his girlfriend Valentina, and the family is forced to go on the run. And now there's a TV serial remake of "Presumed Innocent," this time starring Jake Gyllenhaal. It tells the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys' office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.But if you want something that's not a sequel or a remake we have "Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini" which is a true-crime documentary. It tells how Keith and Sherri Papini's seemingly idyllic life was shattered when Sherri vanishes from their rural California neighborhood, triggering a frenzied search that becomes news around the world. But once Sherri is found, a new nightmare begins. then we've got the drama "Treasure" starring Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry as a father and daughter who go to visit Poland. And speaking of Poland, we also have "The Thaw" which is a crime series on Max. And then we've got "Brats" which centers on 1980s films starring the 'Brat Pack' and their profound impact on the young stars' lives. That's a lot for one podcast - so listen in!
