"After taking 2020 off from this sort of thing (for, you know, reasons), this week we have our 2021 Summer Movie Preview, featuring the movies being released from Memorial to Labor Day that we’re most excited to see. We also discuss our own recent ventures out to theaters post-vaccinations and our thoughts on the future of moviegoing as these releases hopefully attract people to venture away from streaming options -- when safely possible, of course! Plus a live performance from Endearments, recorded exclusively for BTRtoday. Here are the movies mentioned in the episode, by release date: May 28 Cruella (dir.
