 This is the SF Productions podcast network Again, please silence your phones and find the nearest exit from the public culture bunker I'm Mindy and I'm mark you can check on our audio podcast how I get my way free comics on iTunes or on our website SFpodcastnetwork.com Now as we tape this the summer movie onslaught is imminent imminent So let's take a look First off by the time you see this Captain America Civil War will have made a cajillion dollars Early reviews say it might be the best Marvel film so far And you know everybody's gonna be comparing it to Batman v. Superman. Yeah, which is you know terrible Yeah, did bad at the box office. Yeah, I'm sure Marvel will have another winning summer this year. I'm guessing Moving on then to May 20th the nice guys Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in an action comedy from Shane Black who directed kiss kiss bang bang and Iron Man 3 You know just kind of a generic action flick. Yeah Neighbors to also in May 20th more frat humor from Seth Rogen, but you know, I've heard people who's Tasted movies I respect. Yeah, say that the first neighbors was actually kind of good. Okay, so I don't know Maybe it wasn't that maybe it was a different movie. I'm thinking of maybe I don't know The Angry Birds movie also in May 20th, the huge international hit of 2013 Yes, they really Really missed the boat on this one. Look Hollywood You can't make a movie based on an ephemeral game or a meme Because by the time you get it done the meme in or game as long since been is like that's what my dad played Was that Angry Birds? Nobody plays Angry Birds anymore Moving on to May 27th and Alice through the looking glass. This is the sequel to the trippy Johnny Depp vehicle Also May 27th X-Men Apocalypse The whole gang is back with Jennifer Lawrence now getting top billing which he didn't get in the first one I'm kind of thinking wasn't the last X-Men that came out like much later in the summer I think it may have been yeah, they really move this up They have pretty high hopes for it putting it in May Warcraft for yeah, that'll be June 10th Eventually someone's gonna make a hit movie based on a video game. Could this be the one? June 17th finding Dory finally we get the sequel to Finding Nemo after 13 years It's been 13 years since that first movie came out Ellen DeGeneres where we're prize her voice That'll be a huge success as well. No question. Yes, it goes up against central intelligence It sounds very fancy doesn't it? Well, it's not because it's just another dumb buddy cop shoot him up with the rock and Kevin Hart Yeah, but it'll probably do well. We'll do well. I'm sure. Oh this next one. No Independence Day resurgence June 24th They got the band back together that will Smith. No And I think it's very telling that this is not opening July 4th weekend. Yeah, but they're like we're gonna shy away from that But opening for July 4th weekend on July 1st the legend of Tarzan Again, yes, this is a live action. Yes, it is. Yes news flash Hollywood your potential movie audience has no idea Some of them do because they saw Tarzan the Disney movie Well, they're too old for that. They're thinking it. Yeah, but they grew up with that. They're teenagers So they saw that when they were kids so they think oh, it's the live-action remake of that not, you know It's like who's next Tom mix I mean you can't keep going back to the 20s and 30s for characters that you think you can make relevant again That's not gonna happen Then we have on also on July 1st BFG. I don't understand. How can they make a movie about the gun from doom? No, no, no, no, it's a it's a roll doll book. Oh Big friendly giant Yes And apparently directed by Steven Spielberg. Yes My mistake. I'm sorry. I I just got the wrong reference for that Also July 1st the purge election year and they got three movies out of this concept The secret life of pets on me on July 8th from the makers of despicable me, I'm guessing it will do okay Ghostbusters July 15th. Yes, it's all female leads calm down It's not a sequel although the preview made it sound like it was a sequel Star Trek beyond July 22nd the third go-around in the Abram Abrams verse And by the way, this is why the new TV series will not happen until next year It really should have happened the 50th anniversary of track, which is 2016 but because of the weird setup between CBS and Paramount there has to be six months between The movie coming out and the new TV series, which is why it's gonna wait after wait till January 2017 Right now, but this isn't actually an Abrams movie though, right? It's it's it's universe. Yeah, he didn't direct it or anything like that. So Jason Bourne July 29th Damon rins repeats. Yes. I mean how many they gave up by even putting numbers after it because it's like yeah Yeah, or even putting anything, you know tying it or a suffix Jason Bourne, you know That's all you need to know. Yeah, you know Bad Moms July 29th. It's his Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell and Catherine Hawn and Catherine Hawn apparently Yes, I like her. It is what it says. It's about bad moms basically Suicide Squad that's August 5th. This is the superhero movie. I'm most looking forward to Marco Robbie Will Smith and a large cast and It's gonna be a much darker version. Now. This is this is where DC needs to go dark. Not Superman Yeah, Suicide Squad by definition needs to be pretty dark. Yes The founder August 5th, this is the counter-programming Michael Keaton plays the founder of McDonald's so it's a bio pic It's very early in the year for Oscar bait So I'm guessing it may not be that good because otherwise wouldn't you bring this out in November? Yeah, I don't know August 12th sausage party. Hey, let's make an R-rated animated movie All right, I know that you have a problem with this, but let's think about Alan Minkin is doing the music. Yes What else did he do the music for that? We really like Gallivan sure Gallivan that was certainly if it would have been a movie Been made R-rated I suppose but now I think it is going to run into the prop the same problem that Deadpool ran into and that is parents are gonna go in and say oh it's animated. It's a kid's movie Yes. Yeah, even much more than Deadpool. Yes, you're gonna see five-year-olds at this, you know in the theater There's no question, you know the mom's gonna pull up the minivan all the kids are gonna go in You can then redirect them to Pete's dragon. That's true also on August 12th I think good counter-programming where Disney digs deep into the vault for this remake Pete's dragon came out at the very tail end of the first iteration of Disney it was the late 70s it did not do very well. No I'm personally waiting for the million-dollar duck sequel to come out. No, no, no, that darn cat August 19th War dogs a comedic drama about US weapons contractors with Jonah Hill Another one that almost seems like if you're going for Oscar bait you'd be later in the season so August 19th August especially for the most part tends to be a dumping ground for the studios Don't know if it's a good strategy, but traditionally what it's been and the last one certainly a good indicator of Dumping the stuff at the end Ben Hur August 19th when only the best stuff is scheduled. Yeah a beat-for-beat remake of the 1959 biblical epic and the 1907 biblical epic and the 1925 biblical epic Where Morgan Morgan Freeman gets another paycheck I can see that we'll be spending a little bit of time in the movie theaters this summer if only for the superhero movies Right. Um, yeah, there's a probably a few more. I'll go see. Yeah, because you know, I won't be working And if you'd like to check out any of those movies with me You can follow us online But in the meantime check out our audio podcast how I got my wave treat coming sun itunes Or on our website as a podcast network.com from the pop culture bunker.
