Maybe she's on some cable show. I don't know no an unhappy married couple have an affair with each other Okay Okay, is that a comedy here? No, no, no, it's a drama. Oh, it would be a good comedy. Yeah May 12th snatched mother and daughter in a zany kidnap adventure and that's Amy Schumer and Goldie Han So, you know, it will be scatological King Arthur legend of the sword another return to the round table that no one asked for Jude Law is the bad guy Charlie Hunnam is the hero who's best known for television Queer as folk and sons of anarchy Yeah, there's another King Arthur type movie come maybe I'm or they could be the same movie Yeah, that'll come and go and it'll be on it'll be on the airplanes for you know, maybe it was a TV show There's like something where there's a girl that's King Arthur. I can't remember what it is. Maybe it's a comic book. Yeah May 19th alien covenant a sequel to the prequel Ridley Scott is back in the director's chair and this stars Michael fastbender So if you want to see a lot of goopin's slime and Probably not things coming out of people's stomachs. Who knows maybe? Yeah Everything everything the Hunger Games Roo Amanda Stenberg stars as a teenager Who's physically isolated due to an immune system issue? So basically girl in the plastic bubble And this is based on a young adult novel which everything is these days. So what the heck, right? Oh May 25th big day. Yeah Sorry Baywatch The rock Zach Efron and Priyanka Chopra run slowly across the beach And apparently this is going for comedy action. Yeah, I would assume something like that. I was thinking along the lines of you know The chips movie redo or something like that, right? You know, it's not something I'd be at all interested in and yes The Hoff is in the movie. Yeah May 26 of the next day Pirates of the Caribbean dead men tell no tales. This is the fifth film in the franchise It's been 14 years since the first one. Yeah, we saw the first one. Yes, we did and then we never went back I'm sure it will do fine without us So far summer's not cheaping up to be very uh, nope very attractive to me at least And then we have war machine. This is not the Marvel character. This is a dark comedy about Afghanistan with Brad Pitt. I Guess we're just not the focus of the movie makers of America. Yeah. Oh wait here. Here we go second Wonder Woman Gal Gadot wields the golden lasso. It's only taken DC 75 years to get around to making her a new a movie. I Have high hopes just don't blow it Warner Brothers. Please don't blow it As we've discussed they're already kind of falling behind the ball on promotion for it now See I've seen since that article there was an article that said oh, there's hardly any promotion for the movie and DC's that Warner Brothers really screwed up and then I've seen other ones that said well at this point in terms of Like Sue Scott suicide squad. They've actually spent more on Wonder Woman than suicide. Then how come we're not seeing it Where is where is the visible promotion because it must all be invisible promotion? Yeah, did you pay a ton of money to dr. Pepper for those cans and are they counting the like stuff that they're doing for Justice League that's Wonder Woman related or anything that's even like Merchandising this related to the comic book that has nothing to do with the movie Hmm June 9th the mummy Universal begins their run toward a classic monster franchise. So we're actually gonna see all the monsters recreated. Okay. Yeah Tom Cruise plays the hero Sophia butella plays the monster Who I assume will spend most of her time in a trench because Tom's not a tall man And Russell pro will play dr. Jekyll in a small role So I presumably there'll be a dr. Jekyll movie coming out of yeah, uh-huh. So they're gonna have a whole Monster universe. Yep. Yep a shared monster universe Frankenstein and Dracula and Wolfman the mummy, you know June 16th cars three Really Pixar really? Yes, really they make a ton of money off cars Oh, but no one like the last one other than like four-year-olds and apparently that four-year-old market is enough to Make you a ton of money. Well, it's and it's not I don't think the movie that I'm merchandising And yeah, they do buy toys. Yes, and then also the little counter-programming Rough night with Scarlett Johansson and Kate McKinnon in a raunchy comedy So it's kind of brides mazes mazes kind of thing June 23rd Transformers the last night two plus hours of bad CGI explosions from Michael Bay. Woo boy Yeah The beguiled Ellie Fanning Colin Farrell and Kirsten Dunst in a gothic thriller So if you don't want to unplug your brain that weekend, you can go see this June 30th despicable three so Steve Carell gets another paycheck. So, you know, you didn't like Deride the makers of despicable me three like you did cars Well, but it is another paycheck is like why why why are we doing why are we doing more and more sequels because minions are popular? Yep, that's basically it The house Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell owner open a casino in the suburbs and wackiness ensues Now again, this is one that I think could be funny, right, but it won't be The talent's there, but not so much it'll be all like, you know Fart jokes. Yeah. Yeah July 7th spider-man homecoming Marvel Studios talent steps in to help this floundering franchise I'm actually looking forward to this Still not happy about hot Aunt May. Yes, but but consider hot Aunt May as compared to like hot Mrs. Grundy in the new Archie You have a good point July 14th war for the planet of the apes Just let me know when they get to the people worshipping the almighty bomb. That's what I want to see is the recreation of that We've seen so many previews for that plan. Oh, yes, they're they're flogging it. Yeah July 21st Duncork Christopher Nolan's epic tale of the World War two tipping point and of course it will be huge in scope You know, supposedly there's some scenes where he hired like thousands of extras I mean, it's not it's not CGI. It's like actually guys and you know, run up the beach and all this Girl trip. This is essentially Tyler Perry's the hangover Queen Latifah Jada Pinkett Smith That that type of humor Valerian and the city of a hundred planets. There's a mouthful of a title Luke Besson directs so you know it will be weird Luke Besson of course did the fifth element Yeah, a massive base has been built onto the International Space Station over 800 years. So it's now this massive place We're like different environments and all this for the different alien races and Okay, now, I assume this is based on a book. I don't know July 28th atomic blonde Shelly's thrown in a violent secret agent flick set at the fall of the Berlin Wall So we'll see how the reviews go on that. Okay, an Inconvenient sequel truth to power. Hey Al Gore, maybe the money spent on this could have been spent to elect people who could do something about it Yeah, just a thought. Yeah And the emoji movie. It's an animated movie from the people who brought you Fruit Ninja the movie or whatever it was Here's my money. Don't make me go see it. Yes, please. No August 4th the dark tower Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in an adaptation of Stephen King's book series And again, I think that would have been much better as a mini series on you know TV Yeah, that seemed like a better fit. Yeah, and then the final movies for the summer August 18th the Hitman's bodyguard Ryan Reynolds is the title character Samuel Jackson is the guy. He's guarding Gary Oldman is a dictator who wants to kill him And then finally Logan Lucky Channing Tatum and Adam Driver in a NASCAR heist from Steven Soderbergh Which apparently must be really great because you always put the best movies on at the end of August We still haven't hit Labor Day weekend when that comes out. So I suppose Could be a worse time Although I can count on one hand the number of movies. I really want to see I might see more just because it's nice to go To the movies during the summer.
