While a thin week due to there only being one major release, it is a big one. Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to Oppenheimer is here. The Odyssey is a massive blockbuster, and I have a review for it here. A solid indie, Steal Away, that I saw at the SBIFF, also opens in limited release this week. I also spoke with the director of Mortal Kombat II, which can be found in this week’s recap along with all the other usual coverage. There’s the latest episode of our two-time award-winning podcast, 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, along with our newest Out Now episode covering Moana, Evil Dead Burn, and more, plus whatever other podcasts I may have been a guest on. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe, and thank you for reading!

Out Now Commentary: Independence Day (1996) - The Brandon Peters Show’s Brandon Peters, The Outside Scoop’s Scott Mendelson, and Le Noir Auteur’s Terence Johnson join Aaron and Abe to talk Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day, a film that’s long been on the list to discuss in full.
2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla - Bonus Episode - The Gamera Heisei Trilogy (1995-1999) - On this week’s episode, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence spend time between seasons covering the well-received Heisei Era trilogy of Gamera films.
The Summer of 1986 at 40 - July 18-20, 1986 - A rather rough week has us all perplexed at one of the worst movies we’ve ever had to sit through in this series that should be a more historically noted high-profile failure than it is. But it's all worth it as the main feature this week is James Cameron’s ALIENS!
Guest: Lambcast #818 Mel Brooks Movies-July MOTM -Mel Brooks Turns 100 the week we are doing a MOTM with Comedy as the Genre, screw the poll, this is what we are going to talk about, and there is plenty to cover. Gen X and Millennials will be happy to know that “Spaceballs” gets a lot of love (except from the host). Everyone except Howard agrees on what Brooks’ best film is, and we do a deep dive into all the actors who contributed to the films (and stick Harvey Korman at the end just because).
