For Episode 498, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, and Amy Kim to bring you our most anticipated films for the rest of 2026 as we say goodbye to the first half of the year. For this week’s poll question, we’re asking everyone that very question: “Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To From The Rest Of 2026?” and we reveal the winner of last week’s poll tied to the topic of last week’s show, “Which Is Your Favorite Film From 2026 So Far?“ We also share our reactions to lots of trailers for “Sense And Sensibility,” “The Debut,” “Practical Magic 2,” “Klara And The Sun,” “The Samurai And The Prisoner,” “The Weight,” “Late Fame,” “Sheep In The Box,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us. Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July weekend and we’ll see you all next week to reveal our first Oscar predictions of the year! Enjoy!
