They discuss Katy Perry's new single "Woman's World" off her upcoming album 143 & explore JoJo Siwa's release of her "Guilty Pleasure" album - as well as her controversial comments about creating a new genre called "gay pop." 

    And they both share their excitement for the new film 'Longlegs' exploring its intriguing plot involving an FBI agent and the occult. Kyle and Amanda also discuss the pros and cons of movie trailers and Kyle's love for the Regal Unlimited Pass.

    In 'What We Watched This Week', they discuss the latest films and TV shows they watched, including "MaXXXine", "A Quiet Place: Day One," and the latest "House of the Dragon" episode.

    The Feature Presentation finds them sharing their favorite summer movies, from nostalgic picks like "The Sandlot" to classics like "Jaws." The conversation also touches on our marine biology aspirations, the impact of the National Lampoon's Vacation movies, and the joys of tracking films on Letterboxd. Join us as we celebrate the magic of cinema and the unique ways movies connect us to our past and each other - in Summer and beyond.
