Buzz gives a surprise endorsement to these previews.

Can it be? Has Buzz "Scoop" Crackerjack Thomas actually changed his mind? Does he now approve of the way Danny Hillcrest preview reviewing movies?

In this episode, Danny tells us everything he knows about about the upcoming Summer films "Despicable Me 4," "Fly Me to the Moon," "Twisters," and "Deadpool & Wolverine." He even plays clips. But remember, Danny makes up the clip dialogue himself, based on very little research. He also seems to have somehow managed to hold onto his sponsor, the world's worst clearing product, Smellz-a-Lot hand soap.

Lending their voice in this episode, as Scarlett and Kate, is Bonnie Kenderdine.

And Danny has a new "sponsor," too!

After an all-too-short hiatus, Danny Hillcrest is back to review more movies. This time, he'll give you the lowdown on some of this Summer's hottest upcoming blockbuster films. And, as usual, he hasn't seen any of them. Danny learns everything he needs to know about the movies by watching trailers on YouTube. 

Want to know more about "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" or "Inside Out 2"? No problem. Sit back with a big ol' bucket of popcorn and let Danny tell you everything he knows. Hmmm. Better make it a SMALL bucket of popcorn instead.
