'Minions,' 'Elvis' reactions, an interview with Henry Thomas and more!

Baz Luhrmann's new biopic, Elvis, tied Top Gun at the box office this past weekend, and we've got some thoughts on all two hours and forty rhinestone-scarved minutes of its overstuffed runtime.

It's not a wildly busy weekend at the theaters, what with Independence Day pushing most people out of doors, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with the latest Despicable Me spin-off, Minions: The Rise of Gru.

Lastly, Bruce has a great conversation with Henry Thomas about his claustrophobic new thriller, Crawlspace. Thomas is best known from his role forty years ago as Elliot in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but he's been a working actor ever since, most recently making a name for himself in Mike Flanagan's series of creepy films and shows you can find on Netflix.
