On the April 21, 2025 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the 2025 summer movie season.

Before we get into this, I just wanted to share a quick email response we got about last Monday’s episode where we talked about the biggest problems facing the world of movies these days. Eric from Los Angeles wrote in and said, “I would like to know why movie theaters aren’t picking up the baton as a place to buy new and even used DVDs. That seems more synergistic than axe-throwing.”
