    A Look Back at Cinema this Summer

    Each host provides a few overall reflections on the 2025 summer movie line-up and box office performance before a round-robin series of reviews.

    1. The rules:
      1. Every host picks two movies to talk about
      2. Once a movie is picked, it is off the board
      3. After each round, a random movie is picked from the wheel
