Eddington Review, Late Night TV Crisis & Love Island Takes

Josh and Garrett dive into the week's biggest entertainment stories while David enjoys the Disney magic!

This week, Josh breaks down Ari Aster's polarizing new film Eddington - a pandemic satire that's definitely not the horror movie you'd expect from the Hereditary director. Is it brilliant commentary or just too soon? Plus, we're genuinely upset about Stephen Colbert's Late Show getting cancelled and what this means for the future of late night television as an institution.

Garrett shares his surprising first-time Love Island experience (spoiler: these kids are way more emotionally mature than expected), we react to the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer with Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, and break down this weekend's box office where Superman continues soaring while the Smurfs movie crashes hard.

We also dig into the heartbreaking news about PBS and NPR defunding and why these American institutions matter more than you might think - plus what you can do to help.
