It's getting warm outside. The sun is shining, and that means it's time for the three peas, pollen, popsicles, and the Popculture Happy Hour guide to what you should be watching and listening to this summer.

Sure, we've got a superhero for you, but we've also got blockbuster directors, interesting

auteur's, and one film we truly, honestly believed we might never get to see.

I'm Linda Holmes, and today we've got a guide to what we're looking forward to this summer on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

Joining me today are my co-hosts Stephen Thompson. Hello, Stephen. Hey, buddy. Aunt Glenn Weldon.

Hello, Glenn. Hey, it's summertime. The living is easy. The pizza is cheesy. My favorite

Jefferson is weasy. Hey, Linda. Very good. Very good. And Aisha Harris. Hello. Iisha. I'm sorry

that you have to follow that. Oh, it's okay, Linda. I'm just happy to be here and not happy about the pollen because I do apologize if I sound a little.

Making you wheezy.

I think I felt that I needed to involve the pollen just because it's so omnipresent in everyone's lives.

When I first moved to the East Coast, a friend asked, do you have allergies? And I said, no. And they said, oh, you do now. Very reasonable. All right. Before we get started, please keep in mind that these are just some highlights. So don't worry if we don't get to everything you're excited about. Some of the best stuff of the summer may well turn out to be things that aren't even announced yet. So just take it as a rough sketch of some of the things we're looking forward to. Stephen, I'm going to start with you. You've got a new film from one of the creators, I would argue, of the summer blockbuster. Yeah, my first pick is Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day

coming out June 12th. You know, I got to say, gang, I just went back to the movie theater and

rewatched the movie Project Hail Mary because I enjoyed it so much. I realized in rewatching it

just how hungry I had been for like new kind of blockbuster fare that is not just regurgitating old intellectual property.

And watching the trailer for Disclosure Day before that screening made me excited about this.

It looks like it's a paranoid thriller.

It's Steven Spielberg.

There appear to be

aliens involved. You got Emily Blunt. Josh O'Connor, who has kind of graduated to the tier of

actors where I want to see anything they're in, even if it's potentially bad, which this does not

look like it's going to be bad. It looks, I mean, it's a Spielberg-y thriller. Who has surer directorial

hands than Steven Spielberg, at least if you're stretching out over the course of careers
