– Box Office (12:10)
After some opening banter, we continue our recurring segment of “Is the Parade On or Off?” talking about the box office. This time around we talk about the success of Alien: Romulus, which is now has the second best opening weekend ever for the Alien franchise. After the bleakness of May, the summer has taken a massive step forward. We are very happy to see theaters thriving, however; we still continue to question the types of movies that Hollywood will be pushing.

– Disney & Star Wars / Gena Rowlands (27:18)
It was announced this week that Disney is pulling the plug on the Star Wars show The Acolyte, and it provoked us to talk about the future of the franchise. The last few years have been extremely volatile for Star Wars, and Disney+ format doesn’t seem to be helping matters much. It’s just not a great structure for their shows and we talk about why that needs to change.

– Top 5 Scenes of the 2000s (1:20:27)
Where does one begin when trying to narrow down all of the great scenes from 10 years of great movies? We’ve done this once before for the 2010s, and while it was a ton of fun, it was one of the most challenging exercises we’ve ever done. The 2000s was equally full of great movies and moments that will unequivocally go down as some of the best of all-time. Whether it be artistically, emotionally, comedically or intellectually, or a combination of all those aspects, these are the scenes that provoked us in the deepest ways in the last decade. It’s been almost 10 years leading up to this moment, and it was fun to begin our Best of the Decade Awards with this list. That said, what would be your top 5?
