We're taking a little break until after Labor Day because Grierson is heading to the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. So after we talk about "Alien: Romulus," we choose the films we're most excited about from each festival. And then we will see you after Labor Day. We will miss you.

Three new movies! And one of dislikes all three of them. Get excited! First, it's the Apple TV Damon-Affleck (the other Affleck) Boston thriller-comedy "The Instigators." Then, at last, the Cate Blanchett-Kevin Hart sci-fi video game adaptation you had been waiting for in "Borderlands." And then it's the artsy horror film "Cuckoo."

Not too much election stuff this week, we promise. Though Will cannot comment on his part in the Veepstakes.

We've got a big movie, a huge hit this weekend, as you'd probably expect: It's "Deadpool & Wolverine." Then we have two Reboots: 2011's "Take Shelter" and 1976's "Mikey and Nicky." There is more movie talk than Veepstakes talk, promise.

We've got a MEGA episode for you this week, with FOUR big movies out, and they're all fascinating to talk about. Also, sorry, we start with the debate. But it doesn't take THAT long.

First: The third "Quiet Place" movie. Then, the next Yorgos Lanthimos/Emma Stone project, "Kinds of Kindness." Whoa, then it's Kevin Costner's massive first-part-of-four epic "Horizon: An American Saga -- Chapter One." And we finish with the beloved indie "Janet Planet.
