This week, we break down the epic July box office showdown between Jurassic World: Rebirth, James Gunn's Superman, and Fantastic Four: First Steps! Plus, we review Ballerina (2025)—the latest action-packed entry from the John Wick universe. We also react to new trailers for Fantastic Four, Ironheart, and Alien: Earth.

And to wrap things up, we talk about seeing Stand By Me at the Alamo Drafthouse in Chicago, and the Jock shares thoughts on the new Wes Anderson movie!
