This week we jump right into the controversy with the new Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman "hot for teacher" trailer, plus A24's ominous action flick, Civil War. Then, The Rock may finally have himself a prestige project — a biopic about troubled UFC champ of yesteryear, Mark Kerr, in The Smashing Machine. Can he flex some acting skills instead of just his charm? Finally, we take an unexpected left turn (ha ha) into the news that Tesla has recalled more than two million of its vehicles due to safety concerns. Is the dream of autopilot a lot of smoke and mirrors or are drivers to blame? All that, plus a special brew we've been saving just for you. Cheers!

For Episode 440, I am joined by Josh Parham, Nadia Dalimonte, Dan Bayer & Giovanni Lago as we preview the 2025 Summer Movie Season with the films we're most excited to see. This is also the theme of this week's poll as we ask, "Which 2025 Summer Movie Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing?" and we reveal the winner of last week's poll for the release of "Thunderbolts*" asking, "What Is Your Favorite Movie About A Ragtag Group Of Misfits?" We also give our reactions to the trailers for "The Smashing Machine," "Weapons," "Sorry, Baby," "Now You See Me: Now You Don't," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, supporting, and subscribing. We hope you enjoy this episode, and we will see you all next week.

A Recap Of The 2025 Venice Film Festival

A podcast by NextBestPicture.com that reviews the latest film releases and discusses various topics within the world of film and the awards race.

MMO is talk radio for movie fans with weekly news shows, reviews, previews, and special guests. We celebrate the Oscars by making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. If you love cinema, if you love showbiz, welcome home.

Welcome to The One Beer in Podcast! 

We're two best friends that enjoy getting on each others' nerves and talking crap while enjoying a good beer (or two). This podcast is your invitation into our colorful conversations that range from PlayStation to Internet politics. Strap in -- this is very much a conversational podcast, as we take a layman's point-of-view and discuss our interests: beer, video games, movies, tech, entertainment and basically any rabbit hole that we may wander into along the way. 

We often end our podcast with a beer review, and sometimes sneak in a bonus brew, so stay tuned. 

Cheers
