'Top Gun: Maverick,' 'Obi-Wan Kenobi,' 'Stranger Things' and an interview with Danny Boyle!

To call this weekend the start of summer blockbuster season would be an understatement. The only question is if a three-day weekend will give us enough time to pack in all this action. We have Top Gun: Maverick and The Bob's Burgers Movie in theaters, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) and Stranger Things (Netflix) on the small screen, and even with all that going on not only do we squeeze in an interview with the one and only Danny Boyle ahead of the release of his new show Pistol on Hulu, but Bruce goes so far as to try to make a brand new idiom happen. Check it out and get excited for nice long weekend of streaming and screening.
