Today’s “Little Friday” commute turns into a full-on summer movie preview show.

As South Florida heats up and Memorial Day weekend gets closer, Paul starts thinking about something that used to define summer growing up: the blockbuster movie season.

From The Devil Wears Prada sequel buzz and Scream somehow reaching movie number seven… to new entries in the Spider-Man, Mortal Kombat, The Hunger Games, and Star Wars universes, Paul wonders:

Are movies actually BACK back?

He dives into:

  • The return of the summer blockbuster feeling
  • Why Hollywood keeps rebooting everything
  • Thoughts on Masters of the Universe remakes and protecting childhood nostalgia
  • Why the theater experience still matters
  • The connection between movies, music, creativity, and AI fears
  • And whether audiences are finally leaving the couch again
