Well, this is fun. It appears this is the big release week for July. There's a new
Tom Hanks war movie,
Greyhound; a superhero flick with
Charlize Theron,
The Old Guard; Palm Springs, a very inventive romantic comedy; and a re-release of
First Cow, one of the year's best films. This week's recap also features a list of the recent releases made available to stream, rent, or own digitally. Additionally, there are a couple of solid podcasts we put together, which still includes our great commentary track for
Jaws, in honor of its 45th anniversary. Finally, there are my various essays lists, and new trailers to dig into as well. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
