They also look at some new movies, including Pacific Rim, Grown Ups 2 and V/H/S 2. Then, it’s all about DVDs and Blu-rays before saying good-bye for another week.

Episode 324 – No Problem with the Cake

This Week: Kevin and Kristin check out the big releases for the 4th of July weekend (including Despicable Me 2 and The Lone Ranger), and they also give nods to smaller movies for the week (including Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain and Best Friends Forever). They also talk about how feminism relates to The Heat, as well as some news about Pixar sequels. There’s also some talk about box office winners, losers and predictions (which includes movie totals in the trillions of dollars… trillions, I tell you!). Finally, there’s some DVD and Blu-ray release. And when we say “some,” we really mean just a few.
