About this episode
The first two movie releases of the summer may have already premiered at festivals earlier this year, but now everyone will be able to experience why both of these will have you rushing to leave the theater to call your loved ones. First, in Asteroid City , Wes Anderson’s 11th and latest film, a grieving father finds his life turned upside down when he meets a group of eccentric visitors- played by a meteor-sized A-list cast- in the titular town. Then, in Past Lives , two childhood friends examine love, fate, and identity as they reunite over the course of their lives (22:23). With one film by a director with an instantly recognizable style and the other by a playwright directing her first feature film, these are two unforgettable films you won't want to miss!
