Not only is June shaping up to be one of the best months for summer movies in a long time, but it's also a month you parents out there are very familiar with, as it means your kids will be finishing up school for the year. Obviously this means they need something to do that doesn't involve getting all up in your business 24/7, and luckily there are a boatload of summer movies just waiting to entertain kids of all ages. But which summer movies are right for your kids, and which do our trusty podcasters recommend?
On this week's podcast, Erik Davis and Sean O'Connell talk a little bit about how they're planning summer moviegoing for their families, with a few tips and tricks from two dudes who watch movies for a living. We also dive into this week's new releases, The Internship and The Purge, and tell you what to expect from each one. Spoiler: one of them is super violent.
As always, you can toss all comments, questions and love letters down below, and please vote in our polls too. Enjoy your weekend at the movies folks!
