To call this weekend the start of summer blockbuster season would be an understatement. The only question is if a three-day weekend will give us enough time to pack in all this action. We have Top Gun: Maverick and The Bob's Burgers Movie in theaters, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) and Stranger Things (Netflix) on the small screen, and even with all that going on not only do we squeeze in an interview with the one and only Danny Boyle ahead of the release of his new show Pistol on Hulu, but Bruce goes so far as to try to make a brand new idiom happen. Check it out and get excited for nice long weekend of streaming and screening.

It's another week and we have another slate of movies and shows to recommend!

It's still a bit of a slow period between blockbusters Dr. Strange and Top Gun: Maverick, but art-house horror afficionados will be lining up for Men, the buzzy new movie from Alex Garland. Best known for Ex Machina (2015) and Annihilation (2018), this looks to be a step down from the standpoint of special effects while retaining Garland's trademark high concept provocation.

Also on tap are Downton Abbey: A New Era, a talent-packed reboot of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Disney+; May 20), a collection of Jackass outtakes (Netflix; May 20), and a biopic series on Angelyne (Peacock+; May 19) starring Emmy Rossum from Nancy Oliver (Lars and the Real Girl, True Blood) and Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot).

For this episode we kick things off with some immediate reactions to Marvel's latest, which finds Dr. Strange manipulating the mystical arts in a "Multiverse of Madness".

Bruce Miller's interview this week is with NBA great John Salley, who's adding a new entry to his IMDB credits with a Cinderella twist, "Sneakerella," which hits the court May 13 on Disney+.

Next up, Bruce offers an enthusiastic endorsement of the latest season of "Hacks" on HBO and "Selling Sunset" on Netflix. We have a bit of a back and forth about the new "Avatar" trailer, and finally we talk up the new Stephen King adaptation, "Firestarter," landing simultaneously in theaters and  on Peacock.

We kick the episode off with our immediate thoughts on "The Northman" and "Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," both of which are fantastic in their ways.

Not a ton of new stuff in theaters other than a Liam Neeson shoot-em-up, "Memory," and some interesting foreign films, "Hatching" and "Vortex," but over on the streaming side there are series finales dropping on Netflix for "Ozark" and "Grace & Frankie," plus debuts including "We Run This City" on HBO, "The Offer" on Paramount+, "Shining Girls" on Apple TV+, and "I Love That For You" on Showtime.

And finally, Bruce Miller talks with Ben Foster and Barry Levinson about their new film, "The Survivor," which portrays the story of a real-life survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, forced to box his fellow inmates to survive. You can see that on HBO Max starting April 27.

It's now been over a week since Will Smith walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, so we check in on if our feelings have changed over the course of the multitude of hot-take think-piece articles that have been all but unavoidable.

Also, we have some thoughts on the new Marvel-connected vampire movie Morbius, Richard Linklater's latest rotoscope gem Apollo 10½, look ahead to Michael Bay's upcoming action heist movie Ambulance, and so many other solid shows and movies heading our collective way soon!
