You're not interested in art?

No.

No, look, we're going to do this thing.

We're going to have a conversation.

Hey, film spotters, time for our Wednesday archive drop.

We're looking ahead to Friday show, our summer movie preview.

And Josh, I don't think you were part of the conversation I had with Sam, where we picked this top five.

We plucked this top five from the archive.

Do you know what we mean when we say?

If you don't read anything here on the notes page in front of us, when we say movie summers, what does that conjure? Do you know what we're talking about?

Yeah, I mean, movie summers, when I was younger, that was the movie season. And it usually kicked off around July, but then things became sooner and sooner moved into June.

Memorial Day became the first big movie.

And it would stretch into, well, you know, then things got dicey in August.

To me, that's a movie summer.

It's maybe not so much as big of a thing as it used to be, but it was a thing.

It definitely was.

Was this a top five we did where we were thinking about how summer or a summer was depicted on screen?
