For June 6th, 2016, Garry, Mike, and Scott meet in the Nostromo lounge and discuss the feasibility of turning soil into water in the surprisingly decent Mars mission adventure APPROACHING THE UNKNOWN starring Mark Strong and Luke Wilson, the always watchable cult favorite HOT ROD and the hilarious perils of having a shitfaced editor working in the cutting room, Scott is full on obsessed with the 2011 Sundance documentary RESURRECT DEAD and discovering the true secret of the Toynbee Tiles, Mike gets caught up in a very effective rewatch of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and we contemplate the landscape of war films for the foreseeable future, taking a page from GRAVITY, the stunning VR ready experience ADR1FT is just as jaw dropping and wondrous outside of an Oculus Rift, Disney grinds the internet to a concerned halt after announcing that more than 40% of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE will undergo extensive reshoots this summer, and much, much more before our featured review of POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING from Lonely Island directors Akiva Schaffer & Jorma Taccone.

For June 13th, 2016, Tim, Mike and Scott meet in the Nostromo lounge and discuss none other than FN-2187 aka John Boyega joining the cast of PACIFIC RIM 2, Tim wanders around Berlin aimlessly with some improvised criticisms of VICTORIA and its far-fetched ending, we are baffled at Commissioner Gordon's new rippling physique as JK Simmons hammers the weight room in preparation for JUSTICE LEAGUE Parts 1 & 2, the absolutely stunning background landscapes in Pixar's THE GOOD DINOSAUR ironically upstage the entire plot of the main characters, Gavin Hood's gripping thriller EYE IN THE SKY turns out to be a much more effective look at drone strike politics than GOOD KILL, and much, much more before we get to our featured review of WARCRAFT from writer/director Duncan Jones.
