Sophia and Nick are back to discuss some late July releases that have audiences flocking back to the theaters. After reacting to some new trailers and films delayed until 2022, they dive into Nicolas Cage’s daring rescue mission in “Pig” (13:45). Then, they try to decode the time-bending mystery to keep them from becoming too “Old” (22:44) before discussing the Matt Damon international crime thriller “Stillwater” (no, this is nothing like “The Bourne Identity”) (31:45). They finish by marveling at “The Green Knight,” David Lowery’s adaptation of the original 14th Century poem, and break down their many interpretations (41:12). To skip past the original poem’s ending and spoilers, go to (48:14).
