It's about to be summer and while that means sunshine and maybe some time off and maybe

even a chance to relax, it also means summer entertainment.

Whether you're ready to venture out into theaters or you're still enjoying the comforts

of your couch, we are here to talk about some of the best stuff that's coming straight

to you.

I'm Stephen Talpsa.

And I'm Linda Holmes, today on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR, a guide to some of the

most exciting TV movies and music, you can check out this summer.

Here with me and Stephen from his home studio is Glenn Weldon of NPR's Culture Desk,

Hyglyne.

Surf's up, Linda.

And also here from her home is Aisha Harris.

Hey Aisha.

Hey Linda, always good when we are all together.

It's worth mentioning, I think, that TV and movies are still coming back from long COVID

delays, lots of rescheduling, lots of delayed production.

It's still affecting what's coming out and when, but there are a lot of big movies

coming to theaters this summer.

Many of them only to theaters, which I would say was a little bit less true last year

at this time.

At the same time, there are streaming shows coming, streaming films coming, albums coming.

We just want to talk about some of the things that we are most excited about.
