Germain Lussier of Gizmodo joins Dave Weekley and Ryan Nicholson ahead of the Fourth of July weekend to cover a packed entertainment slate. Following the massive opening of The Backrooms, Lussier breaks down Hollywood's accelerating rush to acquire viral internet horror properties — including Warner Brothers' eight-figure purchase of Siren Head and Steven Spielberg's Amblin acquiring The Mandela Catalog for Amazon. Ryan offers context on where Siren Head fits in the timeline of internet horror, from Slender Man to the Backrooms. Lussier also shares an exclusive on Toy Story 5's upcoming in-theater director's commentary via the Theater Ears app, which syncs audio commentary through a viewer's earbuds in real time. The conversation closes with a preview of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — now two weeks from release — including a breakdown of how early screening embargoes work and what happens to a critic who breaks the rules.

Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley to break down a busy holiday weekend in Hollywood. The two open with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, with Burtt confirming the likelihood of a significant prenup and noting the West Coast chatter focused squarely on who made the guest list. Burtt reviews the underperforming opening of Minions and Monsters, which fell short of Universal's $80 million five-day projection partly due to its proximity to Toy Story 5, and previews Jennifer Garner's new Peacock series The Five Star Weekend, adapted from an Elin Hilderbrand novel and co-starring Judy Greer and Timothy Oliphant. The conversation turns to Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress set to star in her first feature film Misaligned, drawing sharp reactions from Emily Blunt and Chris Pratt. The segment closes with a tribute to James Van Der Beek's final on-screen appearance in the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle on Prime Video.
