So this is the summer movie season, huh? Okay, it seems last year's strikes cut back on how many big "tentpole" (somebody explain that term to me, please) movies or big summer blockbusters. But Hollywood is still putting out some movies they hope will slack our summer movie thirst. First up is 
"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." And you probably know that it's the origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa before her encounter and teamup with Mad Max.Does it live up to the hype? Will it break the Memorial Day weekend box-office record? Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli will let you know what they thought of it. There's also "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" which is the latest epic from the storied franchise. If you're into little movies without explosions or special effects there's "Ezra" which stars Bobby Cannavale as comedian Max, who co-parents autistic son Ezra with ex-wife Jenna, played by the ever lovely Rose Byrne. And then there's "Thelma" which stars June Squib as 93-year-old Thelma Post, who gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson,so she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. Plus there's "Hit Man," coming soon to Netflix, in which a professor moonlighting as a hit man of sorts for his city police department, descends into dangerous, dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to a woman who enlists his services.And speaking of Netflix, there's a new series called "Bodkin" which is about a group of podcasters who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in an idyllic Irish town.Then Neil Rosen tells us about seeing the Broadway play "Stereophonic" for a second time. There must be a reason. So listen in!
