On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, 2026 has finally arrived at the greatest point of every cinephile's annual indulgence, the summer movie season!! This year theaters are trying to kick back into gear with blockbusters like The Odyssey, Toy Story 5, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mortal Kombat II, The Sheep Detectives, Minions and Monsters, The Breadwinner, Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Masters of the Universe, Disclosure Day, and a whole lot more. But with so many films coming out at this time, how is any self-respecting fan supposed to know what to see when there are so many options available? We're here to help with our 2026 Summer Movie Preview!

We discuss each month in detail and every major and many minor releases. May, June, July, and August all receive their fair due as we elaborate and debate on over 40 titles coming to theaters, as well as those independent and streaming gems to look for.

Grab a pen and paper or your favorite app, because this is one episode you will want to take notes on. THIS is our 2026 Summer Movie Preview!
